Termites (Macrotermes bellicosus) are playable as complete colonies in story missions, extra missions and custom games.


Abilities

Termites use basic attack by biting. Major soldiers can only use basic attack while mounting enemies.

Minor soldiers can confuse, slow enemies down and make them take more damage.

Major soldiers can increase attack speed nearby allies after each hitting attack. The effect can be stacked in value and reverts to normal over time. The maximum value is + 125%. Major soldiers can only use this ability while on the ground.

You can have a single termite king when you play as a termite colony. It is invulnerable until the queen is dead. It is uncontrollable and can only attack enemies.

Major workers are still workers even though they are counted toward soldier population and can't do nest jobs.


Food processing

The queen chamber usually has above 7 tiles. Queen tiles can't hold any resources.

Termites automatically bring lignocellulose back to lignocellulose storage. Lignocellulose storage tiles can hold 10/ 40/ 100 lignocellulose.

Termites can only feed on fungus. Minor workers eat and process lignocellulose in their bodies. Minor workers can process 10 lignocellulose every 20/ 15/ 10 seconds. You will lose lignocellulose if the processing termites are dead.

Minor workers will expel the waste in fungus storage to cultivate fungus. Level 3 minor workers can process lignocellulose into 50% more food.

Fungus storage tiles can hold 20/ 30/ 40 food and cultivate 1 food every second. The first lignocellulose storage tile and the first fungus storage tile are free. Later storage tiles cost 5 food to build.

You can disable lignocellulose processing to make minor workers stop eating lignocellulose. They still have to finish ongoing digestion. Lignocellulose processing is the second least prioritized nest job.

You receive 66.67% of the building cost as lignocellulose from deleting tiles. Fungus can only exist on fungus storage tiles so lignocellulose is left on the ground instead.
