Matabele ants (Megaponera analis) are playable in story levels, extra levels and custom games.


Abilities

Matabele ants use basic attack by biting.

Soldiers can sting and poison enemies.

You must choose either anesthetist or fast-responder medics before playing.

  • Fast-responder medics can move normally on non-highway tiles. They can evade attacks when they are out of combat at level 3. Revival takes 4 seconds.


Food processing

Matabele ants must feed on termites. Dead non-reproductive termites disappear after 2 minutes.

Other food only give 10% of their original food amount. Matabele ants only retain 10% of their harvest amount while harvesting other food.

You receive 66% of the building cost as dead termites from deleting a tile.


Reviving

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

Medics automatically bring nearby dead ants 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 but can be hold by any same-type tiles. The 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 retain 60% of their original health and damage. They can't be upgraded or downgraded.

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. Their level icons are grayed out.
