Hello Everyone!
I'm BugWoman Z. I just recently started playing again after a long time, though I hadn't gotten that far previously before my computer died, taking my game with it. Therefore I'm pretty much a Newbie having only recently ventured into (and completing) the Tribal stage and having just dipped a toe into the Civilization stage (I'm still a bit tentative there).
My favorite stage is the Creature stage and I mostly create creatures for that. Apparently they are evolved enough though, because I get notifications that some are ending up even in the Space stage, so that's cool. I won't claim that they are ultra sophisticated though, as I mostly just use the creator as is - no special add ons or anything.
I have about 25 creatures and one vehicle so far, but I create new creatures on a regular basis. My creatures have some similarities, but they are still fairly diverse. If you read my tagline though, you'll see that they can be a little weird, and sometimes insect inspired, well, because BugWoman (and Entomologist) after all.
