Properties

The colony has (all as float numbers):

Size (the number of ants living there)
Capacity (max ants and max food)
- Experienced playes may build secret chambers too. (Can not be destroyed by players themselves, only by ants)
Food (how much food is stored)

Founding

A players builds the physical colony. It may only be built on what Reversed Geocoding (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro#ReverseGeocoding) says is withing a country and most likely also more specified parts. This location info is stored with the colony data and is used for scoring lists.

If the owner of the colony has set its property to expand the capacity expands.
If the owner of the colony has set its property to breed the size expands but no more than the capacity.
If the owner of the colony has set its property to get food the food is added (if there is food available) but no more than the capacity.
If the number of ants is bigger than the capacity limit, the number of ant is slowly decreased
The ants eat and food is decreased by the number of ants
If there is no food the number of ants is decreased
Sometimes cave in-s and other accidents occur
