[Mr. Palau]

Wow that boring, I change my vote to ACI

That way if we ever have too many ants we can just sacrifice them for a stronger one.

[Flying Dice]

ACF

And frankly, being able to use corpses of other insects for food should be a default feature, given that most ants do it.


Anyhow, gather food from the right side of the entrance, with soldiers on guard. Continue to expand storeroom, and dig out a small room just below the entrance where guards could be posted in the future.

[Mr. Palau]

F isn't as good a combination with A as I, since it is per batch of eggs not per Larve, and is not guarenteed unlike I. Also with the batch sizes the queen is laying the ant we sacrifice the others for should be pretty strong.

[adwarf]

Those ants are still nowhere near as strong as hero ants though

What are the odds of a hero chance per egg batch, 1/20?

[adwarf]

1d20, 20 being a success and giving you a hero ant

[bitesh]

Don't negotiate with the termites unless they have DELICIOUS OIL.

Even if they do. Just TAKE IT from them.

[ComradeGafarov]

Good point.
DIPLOMACY IS OUT OF THE QUESTION.

NO A. We are not currently reproducing at our max rate, and would starve if we did. A may become desirable later, but it is not right now.

E is also distinctly meh - Keep in mind, we can already educate ants once, and have never had the need to reeducate them. we will never use this ability.

E is about flexibility. Like you said in the first part of the post, we cannot afford to be shitting out ants to quickly. We might run into a situation where we might need more of a specific type of ant, and cannot afford to make another batch. E wont make us awesome, like some of the others, but it may just save our life.

[Angle]

Unlikely, unless we do something stupid like make a thousand miner ants.

[ComradeGafarov]

I think that E is absolutely the best option for DELICIOUS OIL.

[bitesh]

Then let's not.

[Mr. Palau]

ACI, so we can produce the appropriate amount of ants as needed and control their quality as well.

NO A. We are not currently reproducing at our max rate, and would starve if we did. A may become desirable later, but it is not right now.

As far as I know we have been reproudicing at the fastest rate currently possible. Also we have enough food to last 15 turns. (9/5 + 4/3=3.1333[repeating], 48/3.133[repeating]= 15.3191[continuing].) It is not of a concern for several turns even including births at an accelerated rate.
