It's not like i ever gonna take this thing alive or use replaceable units but i'm talking about gameplay that should give a way to counter it if such option will be added.
PS. As for my personal point, it's not tolerable, i periodically wipe races and factions for attempt to eat my units.
But... that's the point of the game, to eat other... Unless they never touch you, you might as well just KILL EVERYONE!
And I just mentioned the counter. maybe not an OFFENSIVE counter... (jeez, what a berserk button...)
But your units Kiiinda are trying to deal with a whole ARMY that's trying to eat them, a single "ally" losing control ONCE(or 5 times ;P ) and then going back to fight the enemy is negligible...
Although... in the event that the vore was successfull, it COULD potentially put your army at a disadvantage... (especcially if the unit eaten just so happened to be a clutch unit for you...)
Alright! How about a gut punch move or a type of laxative like drug that your other units can use on the cruel pred to make them barf up the eaten ally... WAIT! if it's JUST cruel, the pred could just regurgitate them afterwards(possibly, or an eaten enemy. XD )! it's only if they have greedy too would they be unable to...
Oh!~ so many ideas! Keep this going! Let's brainstorm more stuff!
