Luckily, NineBallFool has stepped up to the plate to create a mod in which will turn your creature into an epic! Here’s what NineBall had to say about the mod:ġ.) Your creature will start with 1,000 healthpoints and could go as high as 5,000 healthpoints (formula=base healthpoints multiplied by 100)Ģ.) Your creature’s damage is how can i say pretty much “one hit kill” (except against other epics and rogues)ģ.) your creature will have the epic stomp, strike and spit attack animations and sounds (to get the stomp/strike animation…click the strike icon…it is random….your creature will either strike the opponent or stomp him with his foot…spit animation by clicking the spit icon)Ĥ.) your creature will have all the sounds of an epic……foot steps….screamingĥ.) the screen will shake as you walk…just like when the epics are nearbyħ.) i lowered the amount of nest members to 1….a few show up sometimes….but they disappear…if you cannot find one….click the mate icon and one will appearĨ.) i increased the viewing distance…so you can see things farther away (this may depend on the quality of your video card….it works for me) We already know that at this time, Maxis has no plans for us to play as an epic. Worth the money, I thought.Leave it to the creative modders to fulfill players wishes. But it's a fun game, and more intelligent than most video games out there. I wouldn't use this as more than a place to start a discussion about evolution, and how it's different than this. I did see the science being taught in this, though it did lean more towards "intelligent design" than actual evolution. He would have expected a bit more in between. Then suddenly it skips ahead from tribes to battle tanks - a drastic jump in his mind.

He says that it's kind of strange - the game goes from cell life to organism, from organism to animal, from animal to tribes. My 9 year old persevered, and got through to the end. The game lost me at the 3rd stage, where the controls got changed, and the tutorial was poor.

Overall it's a fun game to play, and we both enjoyed the first two stages. As another reviewer said, this game really is 4 mini-games, and it's supposed to show the evolution of a creature from cellular stage in the ocean to a space faring race. My 9 year old plays this game - and I played a little bit too.
