Lore[]
Gigablossoms are rare plants in planets outside of Zerus, this one was, however, a rare case of a gigablossom, is one who gets to travel in other critters or animals inter-plantary, like this one who was brought in by a fauna cargo ship to the planet Cliteria the current safe-haven for critters, this one is special, it devloped into a massive plant capeable of movement, it has developed capabilities to survive in this half-hostile world...
Playstyle[]
Gigablossoms are a base race that relies on it's root structures for food, procreation and defence.
Build a base close to a mineral tower and defend it until you have enough Angry Saplings and Apple Lords to move out. As your army advances build more roots at chock points and food sources to deny them to the other critters.
Your success relies on the survival of your Giggablossom for if it falls you won't be able to build more roots.
Since Absorbtion Roots draws energy directly from the soil it isn't reliant on any food type and as such can build it's base anywhere without having to focus on any food source. Heavily reliant on minerals as most root structures as well as Apple Lords require at least one mineral to be constructed.
Your units are weak but suprisingly resilant due to the fact that every time one of them dies it heals your other nearby units. As you and your army are plants their corpses drop plant food and not meat and can be a juicy early target for scantipedes, cows and other plant eating species.
