You just added:

Let’s see what that does in your already insane war.

==== A black hole with an event horizon the size of a dinner plate (~25–30 cm radius) is ridiculously massive. ====

Rough idea:
* Schwarzschild radius rs≈2GM/c2r_s \approx 2GM/c^2rs≈2GM/c2
* A ~0.25 m BH is on the order of 10¹¹ kg (rough scale – like a large asteroid compressed into a plate-sized hole).

That’s:
* Gravitationally insane at short range
* Capable of: - Crushing anything near it - Eating matter that crosses its event horizon - Emitting Hawking radiation (but extremely slowly at that mass; it basically lasts a crazy long time)

So each shot is not just a projectile. It’s a mobile gravity trap.

==== When you fire one of these: ====
# It flies into the swarm’s volume.
# Anything close: - Gets yanked by intense gravity, - Spirals inward, - Crosses the event horizon, - Is gone from the accessible universe (in classical sense).

For the swarm, that means:
* No “chunks” left, no corpses, no plasma to regen from: - Anything swallowed is effectively removed.
* Their “split from any hair strand” rule: - Fails inside the event horizon, because: - There’s no longer a separate “hair strand” in normal space. - It’s now part of the BH’s mass.

So black hole shots are the ultimate anti-splitting / anti-regeneration tool:
They don’t just kill – they take matter out of the game entirely.

==== Your array now includes: ====
* 100× kinetic guns
* 100× railguns
* 100× lasers
* 100× atomizers
* 100× missile launchers with core-of-sun nukes
* 100× black hole cannons

That gives you three tiers of “removal”:
# Kill & maim - Kinetic, lasers, nukes: - Great for short-term destruction, - But risk creating surviving fragments that multiply.
# Erase from normal matter - Atomizers: - Disintegrate matter into fundamental particles / energy, - But if any “swarm-tagged” matter survives, it can multiply in your scenario.
# Throw out of the universe (for practical purposes) - Black hole shots: - Swallow whatever crosses the horizon, - There is no “hair strand” left in normal spacetime.

So tactically:
* You use black hole shots on: - Densest clusters, - Biggest combines, - High-value mutant cores, - Anywhere swarm density is so high that regular explosions risk spawning a billion new copies.

Each miniature black hole is like:

: 

==== Given your current rules (they multiply from any leftover matter): ====
* Their only hope against BHs is to avoid being eaten: - Dodge early, - Stay out of capture radius, - Attack you from farther away or from angles where BHs are harder to use.

But black holes don’t care abut:
* Shields,
* HP,
* Regen,
* Mutation.

If the hive mind fails to keep distance:
* Units are gone, permanently.

They might try to mutate:
* Extreme mobility and range (never entering BH-effective zones)
* Long-range weapon mutants that shoot from far away so they don’t get close
* Maybe weird exotic states that try to avoid coupling with gravity (this is super sci-fi, though)

But realistically, in this ruleset:

: 

Because:
* Splitting fails when all pieces fall into a BH.
* Leave no matter or info behind in normal space.

==== Your fortress: ====
* Direct fire (guns, lasers, railguns)
* Area nukes (cluster H-bombs that are star-core hot)
* Erasers (atomizers)
* 100 miniature black hole cannons

The swarm:
* Astronomically many,
* Massive HP + shields + regen,
* Devour, split, mutate, hive mind,
* Multiply even from a hair strand…

…but only if matter is left in the universe.

With BH cannons, you finally have a weapon that:

: 

So in this upgraded universe:
* Regular weapons carve and push them back,
* Nukes and beams control and sterilize space,
* Black hole shots are your “no, really, this region is DONE” button: - Swarm goes in, - Swarm never comes out.

If you want to keep going, the next step would be:
what if the swarm evolves some crazy interaction with gravity or singularities – like feeding off the black holes, or crawling back out via some exotic physics? That’s the only way they keep up with this level of nonsense.
