Trivia

  • In real life, a young wood ant queen may choose to assassinate a black ant queen and take over its colony using black ant pheromones. Black ant workers are under its control until its own brood is ready to venture outside. In Rising Tide, you start with 4 black ant workers and a dead black ant queen nearby. This was requested to be in the game by Serafine, a kickstarter backer.
