    Hive Attitude

    I think xenos could use an additional status for hive behavior like Hive Orders, it could be called Hive Attitude. (Can't think of a better word right now)
    The queen could set it with a predefined list (like pheromones) and every xeno would get a notice in chat and see it in status tab, so like hive orders, but maybe a cute HUD display would be good too.

    My recommended attitudes:
    Scavenge: typical early game stuff
    Skirmish: attack easy targets but dont fight their defences (I'd call this one the most standard attitude)
    Defend: only fight in the hive and defended territory
    Regroup: pull back and wait for most xenos to show up
    Assault: try to destroy enemy defences
    Capture: for times when capturing is more important than anything else listed here

    Why add this if Hive Orders already exists?
    Because this would have a standard meaning, if I put "Skirmish" in hive orders people wont have much idea what I really expect.
    Hive orders can be typically used for more nuanced stuff like "Dont let the turtle retreat to their base".

    Can always use easy way of giving orders to the hive and organizing people.

    I can agree with that, just simplified hive status as you can set at will, +1
