25 ants: Evolve into Digger.
25 ants: Forage.
50 ants: Evolve into Forager.
Queen: Do nothing.

Is 'do nothing' is a valid action? Because mostly that is.

(I checked the map, and I'm still missing the burrow I built 2 turns ago, 2 tiles north of my queen's nest.)

Player 12 Action:
-25 Diggers dig 1 burrow 3 tiles north of queen's nest, at layer 1
-70 Foragers forage
-30 Breeders -> Kill for food
-45 Basic Ants forage
-5 Scouts (Group 1: south of colony) move 5 tiles north, 1 tile east, and 1 tile south
-5 Scouts (Group 2: at colony) move 6 tiles north, 1 tile east


(I'm hoping I can find a fertile tile soon that I can reach with the burrows.  Otherwise, I'll probably have to sac quite a few ants.)

even if I could get there, I don't quite have more than twice your combat strength, so, with the nest defense bonus, I'd lose.

The first couple rounds were a little confused, and one of my action updates got missed, and I didn't plan carefully enough anyway, so ... gotta do what I do.

You don't need to take it from him, he could just give it to you in a trade and you could be allies.

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

Re: Ant Colony- Turn 3 people still welcome for the first 6 turns (11/15)

These turns simulate a month, each different action simulates what your ants focus that month.  If you choose to forage your ants go to a tile within your ant hill's vision gather food and bring it back.  Moving simulates combing each tile you move through, breeding is ants focus on increasing the population, and digging simulates your ants expanding their colony and evolving is breeding for a specific strain, without increasing the population.

So if you move ants really far from the next, for example exact oppoite sides, is it assumed they are walking bck and forth the whole time? Does distance decrease rate of foraging?

You don't need to forage you need to dig more space to store food, I believe.  This isn't an RTS where you need to move back and forth to get food, this is more like civilization where you get stuff from each tile you work but you can only work tiles so many spaces away from your colony.

all ants able to forage besides queen, do so on the one fertile square near my hill

You can only have 1 group of ants foraging at a specific tile, can't you?

Event

94 - Really Good Event - Windfall Harvest - Next turn Ants gather twice as much food (stacks with fertile tiles) and everyone gets 500 food ------(You guys got sooooooooooo lucky)------

2 turns till winter, Ants gather no food during winter so I have included how much food you need to make it through winter

There may be errors so if you spot one let me know, also I recommend digging a storeroom if you haven't already
