Sunkens in the map are the honeycomb cells and eggs waiting to be fertilized.
Hatchery makes larva that is used as a hot switch for abilities.
Description:Based on the title, you probably have guessed that the map is about bees. Indeed it is,
and much research have been made to relate the gameplay as much as possible to
bees while upholding fun value.
In the game, you play as a queen just hatched after the older queen has unexpectedly
died. You will compete with your contemporary queens by fertilizing as many
honeycomb cells as you can under the time limit (you can even fertilize your rival's).
To gain an edge over the competition, pheromones (triggered abilities) can be used to
your advantage or your rival's dismay. In order to make the pheromones, you need to
earn gas either by capturing unfertilized cells or drone cells randomly generated in the
map. Pheromones are activated by a larva, morphing to 8 different abilities:
(D)rone - 'Honey' - Heal own cells under your queen and capture rival's mutalisks.
(Z)ergling - 'Banish' - Destroy the cells under your queen and receive gas "refund."
(O)verlord - 'Allure' - Capture fertilized cells in proximity.
(H)ydralisk - 'Disarray' - Force rivals to ally you and make them unvision themselves.
(M)utalisk - 'Fan' - Unfertilize everyone's egg cells in the map.
(S)courge - 'Swarm' - Force all hatched workers to move to your queen.
(Q)ueen - 'Negate' - Stop your pheromones from releasing.
(U)ltralisk - 'Pipe' - Heal all of your bees and make them swarm.
De(f)iler - 'Premature' - Hatch eggs under your queen.
Basically, your objective in the first 10 minutes of the game is to capture as many
sunkens as possible and gain royal jelly (gas) on the way.
When the time limit runs out, the eggs you control will hatch into offensive workers, and
your virgin queen will morph into a formidable devourer queen.
What happens after that is a slaughterfest. The last remaining queen will take the crown.

Disclaimer:I am aware of discrepancies in the map versus real bees such as...
The virgin queens fertilize even without mating with a drone.
Eggs can be refertilized.
Pheromones significantly affect the eggs.
The cells/eggs are attacking.
The bees hatch simultaneously.
Bees don't fight among themselves in this horrific manner.
Post notes:Please comment on the map as it is in beta stage, your suggestions and reports will be
acknowledged.
