Trivia
- In real life, army ants have four castes: minors, mediae, sub-majors and majors. In the game, sub-majors and mediae are grouped into just mediae because they both act as generic combat units. Either of the two models can be spawned randomly from media brood tiles.
- In real life, army ants can sting. The developers don't implement this in the game to focus on their damage supporting gimmick.
- In real life, army ant majors release an alarm pheromone from their mandibular glands after each bite. The signal attracts more army ants to the contested area and further increases their aggression. In the game, the orange pheromone cloud was later changed to red glow for better game performance.
- Army ants have been confirmed to be unplayable as complete colonies because they mostly build bivouacs using their own bodies.
