Xardalas, Player-4 Blue

Evolve 50 ants into foragers.

Queen reproduces with 50 ants. If the queen is not allowed to take a action, do the evolve action.

Reproduce.

Both of you realize you have no space for the ants you will produce right?

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.

That is a good Question and I have decided that forager ants count as 3 ants for gathering food but only require two food, I'll make a list on the first post about what the basic evolutions do

Question, on the actions thing it mentions you can do one action per evolution. So, basically that means right now we can only do one action this turn? Also how does movement work? Do we need to move our ants into a square before we can do an action on it, and if so, where do our ants start? And does each floor of the hive count as a place you gota move though?

Edit: Also can we forage on the square that has our hill, or do we have to go to a nearby one?

Yes you get one action, no you don't need to move ants onto a square to take an action, until you move them all your ants are in your colony, movement works by moving a group of ants to a new square where they will end their turn, if you are in your colony you can move to any ant hill as one movement point. You can not forage on your ant hill, amts will forage at the best square available unless you specify otherwise.

@Rolepgeek, you will you 100 food in that action and your upkeep will be 205, because of the queen, you will loose 2 ants in that action because the other one will canabilize the two for food.

So upkeep is after actions, then, not before?

Evolve 75 Ants, then.

Yes, I believe I posted an order on the op, you can do stuff with the last 25 ants if you want.

Well, if I can do something in addition to evolving...

Evolve 50 Ants To Forage.
Dig a Burrow just below the surface, West of my current colony.


Other question. What benefit is there to evolving besides additional ants or whatever, if they count as two and cost two ants worth of food?

Is there a limit on the number of ants that can forage in one square at a time other then the one group one?
I can't see the map.  :(
Did you scroll it a lot? I was confused at first until I realized that like 99.9% of it is just a blank white canvass.

Player6: 50 ants dig out a storeroom in the nest (Digging down), 50 ants evolve as Foraging specialists.

On another note, do you have to dig downwards or can you dig sideways?

You can do both, when I pm'd you I gave you the hex your colony was in and yes it's numbers and letters there is a key on the below the map on the left.

If you change your action, please cross out the other one.
