I recommend switching the food-collection bonuses of spring and summer, due to the tendency of some plants to wither and die in the summer.

That might be more realistic. On the other hand, I think its a regional issue. For example, a brief google search lead me to a site proclaiming that fire ants are most active in spring and fall, and essentially breeding and hibernating in summer and winter. I didn't do a deep search to determine optimal feeding times for ants in general, though.

I am opposed to switching though, only because most of us have already posted our first round actions, and a shift like that at this time might lead some o us to rethink our actions. Since it's a game, and not meant to completely accurately depict ant life (else these evolutions and breeding restrictions would go out the window) I think it's a reasonable enough set as is.

Dig out (another?) Level of basic "rooms" with 50 ants and the rest can forage.

Updating at the moment, but I got drawn into a civ5 game will finish in the morning, should I pm you guys the link again?

[Happerry]

I haven't deleted it. I take it that we don't need a new link per turn then?

[Sheb]

Can I join?

[fillipk]

Mine's bookmarked. no need to send me one.

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?

just saw this question yes you can do either

And I decided that if you forage and have no space you eat it first for upkeep

Turn 2: Spring part 2

Ants gather 50% more food

Sheets are updated you can post turn two actions now

[Ozarck]

Foragers forage. Other ants evolve: reproducing.

Spoiler: GM: this is what i have for upkeep for rounds 1 and 2 (click to show/hide)

Starting food                   300

turn 1 upkeep: 50 foragers 100 food
                     50 regular    50 food
                     1 queen        5 food
                     total           155

round 2 start with              145 food
forage            50 x 3 x 1.5 =225
available for upkeep            365

upkeep         50 foragers     100
                  50 reproducing 100
                   1 queen            5
                   total              205

True except that evolving costs food, 1 food per ant for the first evolution so 145 - 50 = 95 food

[Ozarck]

Okay, editing my action
All ants forage.

Spoiler: round 1 stats (click to show/hide)

at start 1 queen, 100 ants, 300 food.
evolved 50 foragers, dug one chamber
evolve consumed 50 food, evolved foragers consumed 100, regular ants consumed 50, queen consumed 5
end of round: 1 queen, 50 foragers, 50 regular, 95 food.

Spoiler: Round 2 stats (click to show/hide)

Start: 1 queen, 50 foragers, 50 regular, 95 food.
50 foragers gain 50 x 3 x1.5 = 225 food. regular gain 50 x 1.5 = 75 food. Total 300 food.
Foragers eat 100, regular eat 50, queen eats 5 == 155
End: 1 queen, 50 foragers, 50 regular, 240 food.
