Due to Real Life reasons, I have to disappear for awhile.  Take me out of all games that I'm participating in.  Sorry.

Yes I'm going to cap it off at 15 simply because of book keeping reasons maps are coming out in the morning

Giving waitlisted people the ability to murder non-responsive players was a great idea. Need to do that more often.

So uh...when do we get those PMs? :P

Also doesn't combat boil down to "Losers all die, Winners lose half the strength of the winners?"

Can you give some examples of evolutions, just so we can see what's considered reasonable? Can we evolve only part of our colony, separate from the rest? How many ants do we start with? Can we build our colony diagonally? If we have an Ant leave and reenter the colony, does the time in the colony count as one Move or two, total? And since in the Spring we only gather a percentage of food, and in the first place ants forage barely more food than they consume...well...

I get the impression that players will only know about things that their ants can see. Would I be able to get a copy of the master map/player data you have?

In a bit I just sent out the first one; Yes; done; yes; 100 plus a Queen; no; one to enter one to leave; no you forage for 50% more food then usual

Post your actions in the thread people, the only thing that is hidden is the map

Reproduce.

EDIT: Question. Is the only real point of having Forager Ants because it effectively increases the number of ants you have for 'profit margin' from foraging? After all, they may get twice as much food but they also consume twice as much food.
