TGMC:King

This page is a part of the TGMC wiki. TGMC is a project based on the CM-SS13 codebase.

This page is currently under construction! The following page is currently in the process of being created, is undergoing a major structural rework and/or is being moved. The reason for this is: "New xenomoprh that is not used much due to the fact that hive has to get 1.8k psychic points"

UNDEFINED XENO
King	Difficulty: Very Hard Rank: Hatchling (Starting), Young (10hrs), Mature (25hrs), Elder (70 hrs), Ancient (175 hrs) Duties: Guide the hive and obtain hosts to grow your ever expanding hive. Guides: N/A Quote: "Too many kings can ruin an army, but what are kings, when regiment is gone, but perfect shadows in a sunshine day? HA HA, FOB GO BRRRR”

The King

The Alpha. Resting upon your resin throne, you look up in the nightly sky contemplating on the next star you will visit. Breaking your concentration, you have been summoned by a distant hive from planets and stars apart. Amused by the gift they have bestowed upon you, you began the psychic transfer from body to resin, then from resin to mind, then mind to the new planet. Such is the power of resin that xenomorphs have mastered over their environment of evolutionary adaptedness. Going through the psychic webbing of the Hivemind traveling faster than light speed, you can see all the collective memories of xenomorphs, from the early primitive centuries to the expansive space-faring Hive. All your senses are flooded by such sacred psychic information, motivating you to do what is needed: provide victory for the Hive.

Before you can be a king, the hive needs to get 1.8k psychic points. King is chosen among xenomorphs.

YOUR NEW THRONE AWAKES!

HAIL TO THE KING

If there is one job that king cannot handle, it's combative engagement with marines. You play as a tactical role that xenomorphs look to when making decisions on engaging against marines. Fundamentally, you synergize xenomorphs' engagement by:

• breaking barricades with Gravity Crush
• opening opportunities with Screech to push with Nightfall
• rallying the hive for a push
• using mass teleport to get xenomorphs together with Psychic Summon
• making corrosion of reinforced walls to allow for xenomorph maneuverability
• melting CAS flares and OB beacons
• Emitting Pheromones for your sisters

When you see barricades, you crush them. You do not go ravager and engage with marines directly. The priority is marines' defense, not marines. While King is not explicitly a range xenomorph, treat him as such with your Gravity Crush. None of his abilities let him start engagement with marines in CQC. Instead, he heavily relies on other xenomorphs' abilities so that he can engage. Let xenomorphs push or Queen screeches, then you can use Nightfall.

Maturity Statistics and Evolution Paths

Maturity increases stats as follows.

• Slash is the melee damage when the xenomorph is in harm intent and slashing marine. In the code, it's melee_damage.
• Melee, bullet, laser, energy, bomb, bio, rad, fire, and acid are soft armor values, not hard armor, which means that they reduce damage by a percentage rather than a flat value.
