It's a small detail, but there's no such thing as a male ant worker. The only male ants are drones whose only purpose are to mate and eat.

In particular, ant eggs are either fertilized, or not. Fertilized eggs become females, unfertilized eggs become males. Castes within the two genders (worker, breeding worker, and queen) are determined by nutrition in the larval and pupal stages.

Just thought Tarn should know.

Then again, these are ant-men, not ant women.
Anyway the antropomorphication* may overrule the insect nature of the source-creature.

Perhaps an amazonian civ-template can be designed/designated, which culls males upon birth (except royalty!) or transforms them into female warrior caste?

I actually have no idea where my objection came from--clear as day in the Arena, there's this:. So, rock on Tarn. Rock on.

Antperson Queens are freaking huge, by the way. There are size differences between the castes. I love it.

They splat pretty well when you drop them from 10 z-levels, though.
