Simple idea, the queen can appoint successors, maybe called princesses and make em praetorians idk, I’m just tryna throw some lore into this
If they die, some dumbass drone with a solid 3 minutes of playtime can’t snipe the queen role when it’s not really a good time to learn
Basically: queen dies, successors gets a guaranteed chance to evo to queen, maybe doesn’t have to de evo to drone or whatever
