[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SubtleSpartan I'll answer this quickly cause I cba to get into a big debate again, fighting the flood is essentially fighting yourself, they absorb the memories of those they assimilate. They can use everyhting their hosts can use and for every organic opponent they kill they gain a new soldier. They are the pinnacle of evolution, designed to wipe out organic life. No organic race could stop them at full power through combat alone. How they would fare against non-organics however, is aother matter...[/quote] Except the Flood will be absorbing standard rank-and-file soldiers who won't know very much. Heck, even if they consumed every citizen of a hive world they won't learn much. Many citizens don't even know if there are any other cities on the planet, or even if there is anything beyond the Hive! To answer the my earlier questions, there is no way for the Flood to navigate the Warp. Navigation requires the Navigator gene and a Gellar field, neither of which the Flood possess. In addition, Chaos has been known to overwhelm the fields. If the Gods want you dead, they kill you. Plus, the act of infection also strengthens Tzeentch as he is the god of change.
