Ant War fight. Carpenter ants who make the nest grow larger. Fire ants: who are good at fighting and find more enemies to fight. Game play consists of building an ant colony by assigning percentages of your ants each day to one of four different roles: Farmers/Scouts: who farm and forage for food; Nurses: who breed new ants for your colony; Workers: who expand your ant colony; and Soldiers: who are dedicated fighters for your colony. The ant colony has three main resources that are used food, nest size, and ants. Your ants need food to survive, the size of the nest

In ant species with queen castes, when the dominant queen stops producing a specific pheromone, workers begin to raise new queens in the colony. Some ants produce sounds by stridulation, using the gaster segments and their mandibles. Sounds may be used to communicate with colony members or with other species. Ants attack and defend themselves by biting and, in many species, by stinging, often injecting or spraying chemicals, such as formic acid in the case of formicine ants, alkaloids and
