Hive Monarch-Full

Hive: Monarch
by Drake Ramoray
(I recommend new players not to play with this variant until they have
gained some experience playing Hive)
Hive Monarch consists of a compilation of my unofficial expansions

and expansions that fans have proposed in the forum of variants of
the Hive game over the years. I tried to be careful with the "Power
Creep", so I had to modify some Bugs of the fans to balance with
mine.
This variant must be played with the Stephen Taylor's Hive Colony,
who introduced the "reverse dimension" on the back of Bugs.
(I recommend playing with the Bugs of Hive Colony first, so you can
understand the "reverse dimension" system.)
For the Hive Colony to be compatible with my Hive Monarch, I

suggest you play with these little adjustments:
-At the beginning of the game, both players must agree if, in addition
to surrounding the queens or kings, they should cover them above to
win the game.
-The Scorpion proposed by Stephen Taylor will now have the powers
of the one proposed by Jarek Szczepanik, only changed a bit:
“The Scorpion moves 2 spaces around the hive and paralyzes a Bug
adjacent to it (its head must point to the Bug is paralyzing). That Bug
cannot be used until the scorpion points its head elsewhere. No
enemy Bug may end its movement or pass over the paralyzed Bug.
Instead of moving, the Scorpion can rotate its head to paralyze
another adjacent Bug. This is optional and both players must agree to
this rule.”
-The Spider can move to places where the ant cannot access (gates).
This is optional and both players must agree to this rule.
-The Dragonfly will be called Damselfly. This is to not confuse the
Christian Sperling's Dragonfly.
-The Firefly will be called Headlight Bug or Tucu Tucu. This is to not
confuse the Daniel Laurence's Firefly. (I also had my Firefly version,
but I liked Daniel Laurence’s).
-The Soldier Ant will be called Ant, as we all know her. This is to not
confuse my Soldier Ant.
I would like to add value points to each error and, as Jarek

Szczepanik suggested on one occasion, implement a limit for the
leagues (you cannot have more than a certain number of errors in a
certain league) to avoid you choosing fewer errors, but completely
powerful; that will be added to the rules in a next update. Any
comment on the value of the points would be very appreciated since I
do not have much experience in giving value points to insects.
Please, remember that you can choose and play whit the expansions
that you want.
Finally, I leave your well-deserved credits to those who helped me
indirectly to create this variant:

jumps like a Grasshopper, or it can jump first like a Grasshopper and
then it moves 1 space around the hive.

Movement: The Cricket moves by jumping on only one Bug. It can
jump over stacked Bugs and can stop jumping at any time.
-Jumping Spider (Jps): 1x (AbStrateGyk)

Movement: The Jumping Spider moves 3 spaces around the hive,
but it must jump on a Bug in one of those 3 spaces of displacement.
Passive Ability: It can end its movement on top of an arachnid

without having completed its movement, and in the next turn in which
you use it, it will be able to move 1 or 2 or 3 spaces and then it can
finish its movement on top of another arachnid.
-Ant-Spider (Asp): 1x (AbStrateGyk-Warrior Bug)

Movement: The Ant-Spider moves 1 space around the hive and then

passive abilities of Bugs.

that Bug.
General Notes and Clarification:

-If the Louse is covered by a Bug, if the hive is not broken, the Louse
is removed from the game and returned to the owner's Bug bank,
while that Bug takes its place.
-If your opponent places more than one Bug in his turn (due to the
ability of a Bug), the louse can only move once in that turn.

of the upper Termite, so only that owner can use the Termite Mound.
