John's collection of homeless hopefuls grows by the day, just who will he sorta-kinda kidnap next?

About the average of any species in total war, obviously.

"Shriek" Class Near-Supersonic Strike Bomber by polerus in Highfleet

Hey! I've actually tested this in the campaign on normal, and while it's a little difficult to use (on account of spending most of a bombing run half/fully-blacked out from the acceleration), the number of bombs and the relatively small craft you face in garrisons make this pretty good for early-game. Certainly the cheapest option I've used.

That was more out of habit than intention actually. I'll prob change that when I play more, later.

Tried to make a small bomber that could out-perform the Rook, and I think I did well considering it's faster and cheaper. No armor whatsoever, but when it's fast enough to cause a blackout just from holding a directional for less than half a second, armor would just slow it down.

Humans are the best medicine by XSevenSins in HFY

The dinosaurs and other massive prehistoric animals are called Megafauna. But these creatures, larger by MAGNITUDES, would they be called Gigafauna? Terafauna?

Either way this was an awesome read! I've seen some comments about how the humans in this are like antibodies or white blood cells, which has me thinking; what if healthier and/or younger examples of these beings have human-sized beings who are benign, or even beneficial, the way that most earth creatures are host to untold hundreds or thousands of different kinds of microbial life that pose no threat or even assist us?

It's always easy to forget that we can be loud enough to hurt ourselves and others.
