Most Mantodean hives don't make it through the first year, be it because of the Mechinators, the Wild Hives, the Empire, or any other danger that appears before a colony can establish itself... You are a royal of one of these hives, having just barely escaped with your brood of 4. Now you must care for the last remenants of your hive, building a new home for yourself and your young.
Note: Since you start with nothing except 4 sentient mantodean eggs, this is a difficult scenario.
Your faction will be a Mantodean hive.
Start with 1 mantodean.
