Alien Commander

<div class="IPBDescription">name: Matriarch?</div>Can we call it "The Matriarch"? I was just reminded of Battlezone II by the introduction of it, and I think it sounds a lot more thematic and immersive than "Alien Commander."

Discuss names for the alien commander role in this thread.

hivemind maybe?

I know in Starcraft it was called the Overmind (the eyeball hivemind was) while the actual commanding player was a Cerebrate, but that doesn't feel right/draws too much comparison to Starcraft.

UWE has already released some snippet somewhere in which they call it the "Hivemind." Can't remember where and don't care to find it, but as far as I know that's the official name.

Hivemind is pretty cool, as is Matriarch.

+1 for Matriarch

I can hear the likkle skulks saying "brood mother is under attack!"

Remember the hive will not be an object anymore, there is a guiding intelligence in there! and glowies of course.
