Suggestion: Rally Pheromone

<div class="IPBDescription">New pheromone with specific buff effect</div>Often times in games, the alien commander wishes that they could just get their team to rally somewhere specific, either to push an area or defend a hive, etc. This becomes increasingly problematic in the late game as not only does strategic significant become spread across more regions in the map, but the distance that alien players must travel also increases, and they are often late for the party.

With this new power, the Alien commander places the rally pheromone and it becomes a blip on every alien's screen. It's very vibrantly animated (maybe with negative colour or something?) to attract a player's attention immediately. This ability should be triggered at the Hive with an energy cost.

Any alien that moves towards the rally pheromone continuously for a short period of time gains a massive speed boost (+30%/+50%, etc.), but loses it should they begin to move away from the target for a significant period of time. They also instantly lose the speed boost if they give or take damage.

Alternative idea: this pheromone also decreases spawning time slightly so that more players can get the chance to spawn and respond to the rally pheromone.


Critique plz.
