seems you'll need more intelligent breed to teach them such things.

And just how are we supposed to bring that about? Instruct your ants to EVOLVE?
The Queen will evolve when we reach the surface.
I told you how

NUMEROUS HINTS:
-----------------------
You guys can build stuff, but you need scholar ants to learn how to build first. To get those you need to get to the surface upon which time your queen evolves to the next form.

Ok, but why? I don't see the correlation.

You discover the knowledge of the surface, and your Queen 'dies' as another takes her place, Queen Ravouxi II

Not really railroading I just have benchmarks set, when you discover specific thing your current Queen dies, and another takes her place who is more evolved, and advanced then the previous one allowing new units, and such

So it's gonna be sort of like upgrading a building in an RTS, in which you get to build more advanced units, and such?That's exactly what you said, wtf is wrong with me?

In a sense yes, the main way to grow stronger after the first Queen rebirth is research, the rebirths are way to make the queen stronger. Whenever a new queen is born you have the chance to choose three things about the queen to upgrade, and make better/

Re: You are Ants: Turn 75 - More tunnel digging, and a really big rock

Turn 120
Spoiler: Actions (click to show/hide)

Your dig to the surface is basically event less, and your ants have an entrance to the over world easily enough in on time at all, during their work your soldier ants escort them in case of an ambush or such. Once the surface is breached the two head up to scout a bit, and immediately spot a small group of termites housed in some sort of large wooden post drove into the ground, and connected to other such posts. Luckily the termites don't notice your ant soldiers, but they will be a definite risk if they aren't exterminated eventually.

---------------------------------------------
Deep Below: In the Throne Room
---------------------------------------------

Your great queen has grown old, and her body weak, the life is slowly draining out of her every second, and as a last act in her life another queen is born in her place. This new queen, Queen Ravouxi II, has evolved to greater heights then your previous queen she has

(You May choose three options)
A) the ability to lay many more larvae
B) a much stronger chitinous armor
C) the ability to lay a flying ant (1 out of every 5)
D) strong poisonous spores that protect her from attackers, but are harmless to her, and the other ants
E) the ability to teach previously born ants new jobs
F) the ability to lay heroic ants (1d20 chance for each batch of eggs laid)
G) the ability to turn enemy corpses into food (1 for 8 food units)
H) strong armored legs that allow movement
I)the ability to sacrifice all of a batch of larvae but one to make a much stronger ant
