Summary0022651: Royals units and instigators
DescriptionAs recently mentioned in the "strange large forces from nowhere" issue yesterday, the instigator that straight up creates units ONLY make royal units, ie: guardians. It might not be a bug, but from the conversation Puffin didn't think this was intended, so here are screenshots and a save.

In this save it's a stream of plasma guardians. It's only a royal-type unit of a single type, but it differs with every instigator of that kind.

More variety in what is created would be welcome.

That isn't a Royal. Royal Guardians should have "Royal" as a prefix on their normal name.

This type of Instigator Base simply spawns anything with the tag "InstigatorSpawn". Three Guardians have this, Plasma, Fortified Tesla, and Concussion. Far as I know it should always be spawning a mix of those, but it can probably by chance just have the one type for a while.

I can add more variety to it, but it'll be alongside those. Any particular units in mind?

Any guardian type whose main function is to kill things (so not Tractor, Paralysis, Forcefield or Spider).

Royal gives me confusion because I remember the Royal AI mostly spamming Guardians in the Quick Start game. Do they use the same icon?

I'll investigate later. either way like Fluffiest say more guardians of multiple types rather than one would be good.

Same icon, yes. I don't recall if there's a way for a non Royal to get Royal Guardians, or vice versa.

Added Pike and Grenade Launcher Guardians to it. Would've added Nucleophilics but they're fairly fast and would cause a notable trickle in.
