Nest

An ant nest is the physical paths and chambers built underground suitable for a colony to live in.

When a nest is inhabited it can be:

• Enemy Colony
• Allied Colony
• Unowned Allied Colony
• Controlled Colony

Ruin

A once inhabited nest that is destroyed becomes a ruin. A ruin can be rebuilt in to a nest.

Properties

The nest has properties (most as float numbers):

• Capacity (sets max ants and max food). Colonies living in the nest may expand it.
  • Secret chambers - Experienced players may build secret chambers too. (Can not be destroyed by players unless they kill the colony living there first)
• Food (how much food is stored)
• Location information, what country and region it is in. (used for scoring)
• Name

Creating

See Found New Colony on how to create a new nest and colonize it.

Actions

• Colonize to get your ants to live there.
• Destroy to remove it.
