Ant Conquest

I like this concept a lot. Although I think one central one could give an unfair (and growing) advantage to the strongest alliance or coalition, as opposed to several different locations on the map.

Maybe you can only hold it for 30days followed by a 1 week cooldown for someone else to take it over and start building it up.

Maybe this plant is a huge place in the middle of the map, and alliances fight for control over it. Once controlled, it can be upgraded to output food and materials (or whatever resources) to the entire alliance, and is upgraded/staffed/defended through alliance ants/resources. Kind of like an alli...

Woah!!! that sounds like something that might be very fun. :o I suppose its incorporation would mainly depend on what other things we want besides ants, and whether players control those or if they're just an AI sorta thing. (it could even be a side-thing that you get from a certain tech tree maybe...

I have an idea. You could have a new aspect of the game where you can start off as a plant. You grow leaves and roots to grow faster but you have to research different weapons and grow protection (thorns, poisons, etc) from ants and other bugs eating you. You could grow roots into nests and cause s...

I like the idea of a Caste system for ants, but I don't think it's a wise idea to lock players into these castes forever. If somebody needs to change their caste to fit their alliance's necessities or a new player chooses a caste contrary to their playstyle, thus could lead to quitting or at least ...

Ideally there would be balance between all the species, but different species would have different vulnerabilities and strengths. For example leaf-cutter ants and honey-pot ants could have a significant storage of under-ground food so that if a war broke out on the surface they could hole up until i...
