The ant colony means the ants living together but here the word colony is normally also used to refer to the physical nest built underground too.

The different owner status of colonies

See also: Nest

See also: UI Colony View

Settings

Ratio on Worker and Warrior ants.

Properties

The colony has (all as float numbers):

  • Population (the number of ants living there)

Inherited from the nest:

  • 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

See Create Nest and Colonize

Every minute

  • If colony has set its property to expand the nests capacity expands.
  • If colony has set its property to breed the nests size expands but no more than the capacity.
  • If 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 in the colony is bigger than the nest capacity limit, the number of ant is slowly decreased
  • Slowly migrating actual Worker and Warrior amount towards the setting (ants are given new tasks)
  • The ants in the colony eat and food is decreased by the number of ants
  • If there is no food in the nest the number of ants in the colony is decreased
  • Sometimes cave in-s and other accidents occur (decreasing capacity and killing ants)
