Send Location - TODO send "ping" to your players of your species to coordinate attacks or similar. As a message in the Species Chat.

A new player is immune to attacks for X time after founding his/her first colony.
How to make the room for a new player in a town dominated by a Species?

Competition about food when two (or more) colonies are near each other, even if the same Species. (Bigger population needs bigger distance)
- The server will hold a table with distance data between nearby colonies, in order to easy calculate if there is competition about the food that stops colonies to grow
- If 2 nearby colonies are of different Species some ant may get killed from time to time
Idea: Ability to help a small colony more often? To get new players something to do when they are eager.

Currently all species have the same properties but I am thinking about letting them have different skills.

When you attack you expose your own position to everyone for 5 minutes(?) after the last attack command.

You are in range of an Enemy Colony
Click the colony and select "Start Attack".
You see a "board" with your warrior ant count and the colony population count.
Every second a new attack in called from the client causing counting on the server to take place
- Both sides have casualties
- There might be cave in-s casing colony capacity decrease and loosing ant on one or the other side.
The attacker may stop the attack stopping the fight.
If one or the other side looses all ants the fight is over.

A defender may also be on location and can then attack the attackers warrior ants by him/herself by attacking the, on the map, exposed colony attacker. Even if the attacker stops the attack.

By smashing ants on the map a player can kill enemy ants too, one at a time.
