just a few quick notes:
any race may be played, however, you will have more fun playing against the hive than with it.
to get the tech tree to meet this senario's strange needs I had to move around "future tech". Moving this tech around sometimes causes primitive civilizations to occasionally research future tech before other techs.
I picked up the unit and icon pictures from all over the net. If anyone knows the designer of the units email me at jbd@accessus.net and I will credit them here.
If anyone has suggestions for this senario email me at jbd@accessus.net
