Matabele ants (Megaponera analis) are playable as complete colonies in story missions and freeplay.


Abilities

Matabele ants use basic attack by biting.

Soldiers can sting and poison enemies.

You must choose either of the 2 variants before playing a mission.

  • Anesthetist medics require 10 seconds for each revival. They can sting and slow enemies down. They can make enemies take more physical damage at level 3.
  • Fast-responder medics require 4 seconds for each revival. They move normally on brood tiles. They can avoid taking damage when they are out of combat at level 3.

You can unlock adaptations for your Matabele ant medics using Royal Jelly in the main story.


Food processing

Matabele ants mainly feed on termites. They can only harvest 10% of base food amount from other creatures.


Reviving

Ants are respawned normally after death. Dead ants stay on the ground for 4 minutes if you have access to Matabele ant medics.

Medics automatically bring dead ants nearby back to the queen chamber to revive them one at a time. They can't attack enemies or gather food in the process.

Revived ants are put in their original control groups. Number of active ants is represented by an addition of living ants and revived ants. You can only revive an ant once and each tile can only hold a single revived ant.

Revived ants only have up to 60% of base health and base damage.

You can disable reviving to prevent your medics from picking up dead ants. They still have to finish ongoing revivals.

You can enable creature information to identify revived ants. Level icon is grayed out.
