| DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD SWARM!
The Noble Swarm's fleets are fast, but its ships are too expensive to build and get only a half shot each. Moreover the hive mind, being far more intelligent than any individual, can't be bothered communicating with lesser beings. The Noble Swarm will neither read nor send messages, and will not communicate with other players in any way. Gifts are another alien concept, so the Swarm will make none. Having overpopulated its home galaxy, the invader is determined to conquer yours, converting or killing normal populations. Only a strong alliance can stop it, so sharpen up your diplomatic skills and work with your neighbors against the existential extra-galactic threat! By the mid-game you may have enough allied forces to stand a chance. | ||

| Who has the cojones to face the Swarm? You, and who else? | ||

| I don't think anyone is afraid of the big bad swarm, friend. This game will not fill. | ||

| The Noble Swarm position is now available, until someone grabs it. No one should ever ally with the Swarm. | ||

| Have fun, GORF! Your Noble Swarm will be even stronger than mine was. | ||

| Hi baknight, I had to withdraw my position. So it's still up for grabs. Huge workload this fall & can't commit at this time. | ||
