The counterpart colony is a [[Gene-thief Ant|gene-thief ant]] colony that appears in the story mode as a rival to the primary colony.
Music tracks are made by Slug Disco Studios and are available on their official YouTube channel.

The counterpart colony utilizes different ant species from the [[Primary Colony|primary colony]], all of which are melee units. Its color is canonically blue.  
Multiple music tracks are layered on top of each other. They are played at the same time and looped automatically to form each theme. Unsuitable tracks are all muted. The current track slowly fades out and gets muted when an event happens, which allows the corresponding track to kick in.  


The counterpart colony has access to [[Slave-maker Ant|slave-maker ant]] soldiers, [[Trap-jaw Ant|trap-jaw ant]] soldiers, [[Army Ant|army ant]] mediae and army ant majors. It also has the following [[Formicarium Adaptation|adaptations]]: '''Second wind''' and '''Royal guard''', '''Defensive''' and '''Aggressive brood'''.
Some tracks will fade out briefly to allow narrations to start. Narrations can be delayed for a few seconds so that it starts at the next segment of the music track, which gives an impression that the narrations fit in the middle of the music.


You can play as the counterpart colony in custom games by beating '''[[The Other Foot]]''' on any difficulty. Workers don't have the previously mentioned [[Formicarium Adaptation|adaptations]].
Music tracks in the game usually have 2 versions: safe and action.

=='''History'''==
=='''Trivia'''==
[[Scientist|The scientists]] had obtained the counterpart colony during their research on gene-splicing and the polymorphism of gene-thief ants. This colony was implied to be one of the rare healthy specimens.


This colony must send its workers to take part in formicarium challenges of another colony. During the inbetween time, the male scientist sent some of the most gruesome creatures in the game to continuously attack the colony for both the research and his own amusement.
* Music in the game is composed by Liam using FL Studio.


The counterpart colony managed to thrive likely due to the impressive selection of strong melee units that it had gained over the course of the project. It had grown into a massive colony with 259 ants by the time you actually met it properly in [[Possibly the Final Experiment|the third experiment]]. Ultimately, the colony was destroyed in the final showdown with the death of its queen.
* The music tracks in '''Hibernation''' are remixes of various Christmas songs: '''Jingle Bells''', '''God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen''', '''We Three Kings''' and '''Twelve Days of Christmas'''.

*The events of '''The Other Foot''' are deemed non-canonical by the developes. Its continuation has been deconfirmed.

Music tracks are made by Slug Disco Studios and are available on their official YouTube channel.


Mechanics

Multiple music tracks are layered on top of each other. They are played at the same time and looped automatically to form each theme. Unsuitable tracks are all muted. The current track slowly fades out and gets muted when an event happens, which allows the corresponding track to kick in.

Some tracks will fade out briefly to allow narrations to start. Narrations can be delayed for a few seconds so that it starts at the next segment of the music track, which gives an impression that the narrations fit in the middle of the music.

Music tracks in the game usually have 2 versions: safe and action.
