But a good question is whether that intelligence is within all hive entities or a few select individuals at the top of the chain. Much like most military structures i'd say that the hive is the later. An individual thrall or soldier will know individual battlefield tactics and other strategies for a small team but will not have information on movements, operations, reconnaissance or anything that higher echelons will organise. Not to compare the hive to any actual soldiers btw. given that my god father was a chaplain in the British royal marines I have incredible respect for anyone who puts their life at risk. Plus this is another defining difference between us and the hive. We have empathy and can show mercy... I feel that the hive lack both of these traits.
