Combiner
The Combiner is the heart of the Sigma Technology. It performs the recombination of two stock
animals to create the blueprint of a hybrid creature. Use the Combiner to choose the abilities
you want to include in your hybrid. ( Note: The Combiner cannot mix creatures that are already
hybrids.) For some suggestions about creature combining, see “Creature Abilities” on page 17
to learn more.
Access the Combiner by clicking the Combiner icon in the Army Builder.
The blueprints of the creatures you design are saved in the zoo of hybrids.
Similar to the Army Builder, the Combiner screen provides you with a summary
of the attack abilities and research level ranking of the creature being combined.
Click the Camera icon to create an icon of your creature to represent it in the
Army Builder. Rotate the view of the creature by right-clicking the image and
dragging the mouse.
Zoo screen and animal selection screen
There are two screens from which you select animals: the zoo screen (where the blueprints
of hybrid creatures are stored) and the animal selection screen (where the blueprints of stock
animals are stored). Both screens operate in the same manner. The only difference is the type
of animal that dwells in each.
ZOO SCREEN (HYBRID CREATURES)
The zoo screen is where the blueprints of hybrid creatures are stored. Choose from the
hybrids you’ve designed or from the list of readymade creatures provided with the game.
Access the hybrid zoo by clicking the zoo icon in the Army Builder.
ANIMAL SELECTION SCREEN (STOCK ANIMALS)
The animal selection screen is where the blueprints of over 50 stock animals (non-hybrids)
are stored. Combine the blueprints of stock animals to create your hybrids.
There are literally thousands of animal combinations possible.
• Access the animal selection screen by clicking the Select Animal buttons in the Combiner.
