The Nanohive is a {{HarmonyBE}}- {{SupremacyBE}} hybrid utility unit that can be considered a direct upgrade of the [[Ultrasonic Emitter (CivBE)]]. The Nanohive emits tiny robotic drones that infiltrate enemy units through any open ends of the body, causing a violent death. It is for this reason that the Nanohive deals consistent damage over time to all units within two tiles of it. While not that powerful in combat itself (although still enough to handle a hit or two), the Nanohive excels hidden in walls of units to melt down Supremacy armies or high {{StrengthBE}} units.

When a Nanohive is upgraded, it receives an automatic +36 {{StrengthBE}}, bringing its total Strength to 64. For a utility unit, this is quite respectable - it is higher than a basic frontline Centurion, which only has 48 {{StrengthBE}}. Nanohives should be escorted in armies, or in areas where escape is possible should a unit chase them down. Depending on which upgrade is chosen; a Nanohive can serve radically different functions in an army; it can simply have its Nanodrone cloud damage doubled in strength to further augment its' originally intended function, have a self destruct mode, or perhaps most interestingly have an additional +2 hex Sight range allowing it to function as a stealth long ranged reconnaissance unit.

Game info

  • Melee support unit. Unlocked at Collaborative Thought.

The Nanohive is a Supremacy Supremacy-Harmony Harmony hybrid utility unit that can be considered a direct upgrade of the Ultrasonic Emitter (CivBE). The Nanohive emits tiny robotic drones that infiltrate enemy units through any open ends of the body, causing a violent death. It is for this reason that the Nanohive deals consistent damage over time to all units within two tiles of it. While not that powerful in combat itself (although still enough to handle a hit or two), the Nanohive excels hidden in walls of units to melt down Supremacy armies or high Strength Strength units.

Trivia

  • The Ultrasonic Emitter could possibly be an early model of the Nanohive when it was in development, due to their functional similarities.
