Colony

This page shows the mechanics of colonies.

Mechanics

You can play as 9 different colonies in the entire game: gene-thief ants, black ants, wood ants, leafcutter ants, fire ats, Matabele ants, little black ants, big-headed ants and termites.

You can only control a single colony in any levels or custom games.

Non-player colonies are controlled by the game. They can use the same mechanics as you can. Each colony must be assigned to a number, a color and an underground area.

Actual players are more decisive and responsive so non-player colonies always need headstart and cheat to stay threatening.

Non-player colonies and other enemies are always hostile to eachother.

The respective colony is defeated when its queen is dead. Tiles are deleted every 0.5 second and return 66% of the cost.
