My bad!

Evolve 55 Basics with +1 Reproduction (-55 food) Now named Nurses
Evolve 20 Basics with +1 Foraging (-20 food) Now named Foragers
Evolve 25 Basics with +1 Digging (-25 Food) Now named Builders

Reproduce with 50 Nurses (+50 Basics)
Dig Burrow South East at Level 1 with 25 Builders
Forage with 20 Foragers and 5 Nurses (+(45 +50%) +d100% food)

The only problem with this action is that if you evolve an ant it doesn't get an action

[Kashyyk]

Well that ruins everything!

So let me see if I understand base building right:

1)  Each hex is actually four hexes; levels 0 [surface], 1, 2, 3.

2)  Each hex-level can have one structure; level 0 can only have Ant Hill.  Ant Hill is the only way in and out.

3)  If there's more than one connected Ant Hill, the colony can be used as a movement shortcut (since colony only counts as one hex.

4)  Each structure takes one hex and must be connected to another hex.

5)  I could dig a long way in one direction to, say, cross water or find more fertile ground elsewhere.


Am I getting it?


Anyway, orders:

yes perfectly

Evolve 75 Foragers
25 Basic ants shall forage

Spoiler: upkeep calculation (click to show/hide)

food:
start w/ 300, gain 37.5 + d%*.25, subtract 75 for evolution, and 180 for upkeep (25 for basic, 150 for 75 lvl1 evolved, 5 for ant queen)
300 + (25*1.5 + d%*0.25) - (75+180)
337.5 - 255 = 82.5 (+ d%*0.25)

25 forage.

How many people are we waiting on?

1)DAPARROT (Dig: storeroom south L3, burrow south L1)
2)Kashyyk (dig burrow SE L1, evolve 50 Breders [nurses])

(though he splits his 100 ant group into two actions(dig and reproduce), which I understand you can't do, unless one action is "evolve")

3)Sheb

same issue as Kashyyk (dig and forage)

4)Azkanan (dig: burrow south-west, storeroom northeast (L0=lowest level?))
5)Kansa (dig: storeroom-west (n/s? lvl?) evolve 25 diggers, 25 foragers)

who has 25 ants digging a room - a two round action

6)Toaster

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

dig: burrow, south L2. Evolve 25 diggers, 25 breeders

7)Ozarck (25 ants forage. Evolve 75 foragers.)
8)Spiderking (Evolve 50 foragers. Dig storeroom, west (n/s? lvl?))
9)Generally Me

Again, making three separate actions(forage, dig, and reproduce), which is a no no. One per group, and you have one group

So, everyone has posted an action, but four of the actions are a little broken, because of this:
All ants o the same kind, with the same amount and type of evolutions, are a single group. You cna make one action per group. the exceptions to this rule are a)you can evolve a portion of a group and act with the remainder, and b) scouting, which requires a minimum of 5 ants.

note: for something like digging, ordering 100 ants to dig 2 rooms counts as one action - essentially they spend half a turn digging the first, and half a turn digging the second. And yes, please include which level you dig on.

[fillipk]

Thank you Ozarck, I'm sorry it's been a few days but RL has been in the way.

[Kashyyk]

I was not aware that splitting identical ant types was not allowed. What's the reason for that?

[Kansa]

I'll have the 25 ants digging a room evolve into diggers then.

[Ozarck]

Ah ... Azkanan, I believe the levels are L0 is aboveground, and L3 is lowest. You have your diggers working on L0, or above ground. I assume you wanted them at the lowest level?

Sheb, do you want your diggers to dig Northwest, or Southwest?

Thank you Ozarck, I'm sorry it's been a few days but RL has been in the way.

You're welcome, and no worries ) I didn't want to correct people earlier, as I didn't want to step on GM toes, and have GM boot step on my anthill

I was not aware that splitting identical ant types was not allowed. What's the reason for that?

The rationale is to prevent micromanaging, for one. It could get pretty complicated to track, especially for the GM. there are other issue, but that's most of it, if I recall.

50 ants dig a storeroom to the west.
25 ants dig a burrow to the east evolve into foragers.
25 ants evolve into foragers diggers (sorry).

Like that?

[Kashyyk]

Fixed.

 He said diggers rather than Foragers.
