GM, you have Tomasque's food at 622 and his food storage at 600.

Also, I just saw that part about rolling 2 100% extra food. Nice. I hope it went to someone who needs it.

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

Didn't I already upgrade my queen to level 1?  I was planning to make farmers this turn.

Ok. Now I have some questions.
1. How long this game is supposed to be played?
2. What is the purpose? Is it survival or competitive?
3. What tools do you use? I see cartographer, but I think managing all the ant groups manually can be troublesome.
4. Why we have no discussion about game and only rules/actions posts?

1. Until it break apart
2. Comeptitve I guess? There is nor eal threat from the environment yet.
4. Because most of us havent met anyone yet, and are just expanding?

I'd like to see some beginning strategy discussion.
Mechanics is quite straightforward, but I see people have different ideas. Why not discuss them?

Well, I plan to establish a network of tunnel to (ab)use the fact that travel within a colony is instant. Mostly I just want to spread out as much as possible for now. I am quite worried by the lack of fertile tile, and starvation in the winter.

The one isse I have with the rules is that there seem to be very little incentive for combat, as youre sure to loose a lot of ants even if you wim a fight. Plus, by the time you take an enemy colony over, you will have so many losses you might as well just invest in diggers: its not like we are starved for place.

Some games use following for combat:

D1 = D0*D0/(D0+A0)
A1 = A0*A0/(D0+A0)

A0, D0 - before battle
A1, D1 - after battle

You can easily add some modifiers.
