its a good stratigy but your not exercising all of your options. remeber, it only takes one person to hold the line, until that person is overrun. so only whoevers in the front is going to get hurt.
sorry, i ment one at a time. the pass is narrow enough that they cant get past whoever is forwardmost. they would have to go above, and they dont have wall-climb. so they can only attack whoever is forwardmost in the front. and the only way that they could get past is to comepletely overrun that person. so the rest are free to attack or heal or whatever they want with only that one person getting hit. right now its boggle, with epoch and demi behind.
right now you only have hive 2 abilities, so you cant xeno. however if you do die your consciousness will be pulled back to the hive for a delayed respawn. so you cant "die" as long as there is a hive. however, if the hive dies then your consciousness will be pulled out of your body to preserve you.
sorry, i dont mean to discuss stratigy. im just trying to point out the situation clearer. its sort of like medieval times, when two armies would meet at a bridge. only the two people in the front could fight, and the rest of the army would line up behind them until one side took the bridge or the other.

dont worry. i cant kill someone off perminately. no matter what the hive will always be able to re-incarnate you... even if it chooses not to. i'll just consider your char in the battle till you say otherwise.
oh, and the hive is one round there and back, and one round to heal/ 20% health. regen and dc's are 6%/round a peice. all healing stacks.

talking of getting killed, what happens? and what if we Xenocide?
