I think there should be a version of chickens (or a modifier) to make it last less, that is, less chicken but with less spacing between waves, and probally a weaker queen. I think that 1 hour or more like right now is sort of too long... :)

its almost perfect, but one thing is annoying: the queen sometimes spaws in player bases. (looks like its has a random startpoint) this is bad. would be cool if the queen would spawn outside the playerbases, like other chickens do.

Indeed, I already saw entire player bases vanishing suddently just because the chicken queen decided to spam inside it, virtually atop his econ...

That's life. This is war. Play on a bigger map, cover it in defense, and spread yourself out.

You dont win wars if you dont have defenses against the enemy... its like someone having a nuke in a TA mod and you dont having anti nor anything to kill it with :)

I have been imagining that if you manage to really push the chickens in a small corner (almost impossible) a good strategy against the queen would be to build well spread annihilators all over the map... since only a few of then would be able to shot in a moment, you wouldnt need that much energy... tough queen is so strong that you probally need some huge concentration of power to kill it such as a krog or huge bombers swarm so not sure if this would work.

YA but in chicken you cant attack the enemy in an offensive manner, since they come from outside the map :)

Like I said, queen comes from outside the map to within it in a sudden, and since it is so strong there is now way to kill it before it kills at least what is on the surroundings, what is quite anyoing.

sleksa and me did that with the hard chicken on comet catcher(twice)


if you push them into the small cornor and then kill the cornor, they will start popping up all over your base (inside your fusions) etc, so its best to let them have a little cornor and wait for queen.

Letting they have the corner is that I meant down there, I didnt spoke about killing the corner. Pushing then to a corner would be necessary to have enough space to cover the map with well-spread annihillators against the queen.
