You are talking about this https://github.com/Unvanquished/design-document right? Or at least its the source for the pdf. All "historic" gamplay discussions can be found in ideas & suggestions Viechs design document is probably the most "complete" text there is to this topic....

As new building its interesting.
As replacement for turrets in early game not so good. It would make it to easy to destroy a human base.

How would a second hit affect the length of the poison time?
Would the doubled poison only overlap for a short time until the first infection is over?

I think its more something for a smaller update after 0.52. For once i am not sure if it is a good idea. In games with low player count its definitive good but with more players a dedicated builder reduces the positive effects. The process of waiting to continue building could also be needed for a p...

Oh yes an per alien poison could be interesting. We could give them also other differences that just amount of damage, like slow or ammo loss.

I like the general idea that dretches can become stronger in late game despite staying unchanged early game. @GORE WRONG! :tongue: Every suggestions here is read sooner or later and can have a impact on future development of the game.

what gamemodes except team deathmatch?

and can you go into more detail what you mean with ingame currency and how it would work?

Oh that matches good in the insect theme if its a anthill.

Would wall walking be necessary for this? Human buildings are placed on the floor. And if they are higher placed the "ants" could jump the last part to the buildings.

It is a regular problem for aliens that human bases are not easy to attack, especially when humans are camping inside. One idea is to add an alien building that attacks or weakens human base defense. It could be something like creep growing into the enemy base or small bots that continuously start s...

A layout defines the placement of buildings at the start of a map and there can be multiple different layouts for a single map witch can also be created by players ingame with the necessary admin rights. With this method they can also be used to not only change building placement but also change par...
