Botica
Rising from the ashes of their creators’ self-destruction, Botica are a mechanical species that specializes in efficiency of resources and optimization of technology.
Botica Play Style
Expansion
Steady
Nano Swarms are central to exploration, construction, and early defense, meaning factories need to be brought online to increase the pace of growth.
Combat
Overwhelm
Botica overwhelm their enemies with vessels that are produced en masse, rather than being the fastest, strongest, or most powerful.
Production
Assembly Line
All ships are constructed at factories which can each produce multiple vessels per turn once Mass Production is researched. Though once they leave the line, they cannot be upgraded.
All structures are built by Nano Swarms.
Technology
Linear
Research & Development discoveries build from one to the next in ship, defensive, and resource branches.
Botica Unique Elements
Mass Production
Ships are able to immediately take one action as they roll off the factory assembly line.
Replicating Drone
A powerful attack drone capable of producing Evasive Drones on the battlefield.
Wormhole
Move from one end of the solar system to the other in an instant. But be warned, the laws of physics are indifferent to socio-political differences.
Materials Recycling
Dismantling a ship or structure returns a portion of the resources used to generate it.
Emergency Destruct
Structures are rigged with explosives so that if an enemy ship moves in, there is a high probability they will self destruct.
