    Imagine spawning as an ant, one of the most powerful and viable insect classes ever, just to be used as a literal barrel

    An ant tier list would be really good

    A top tier class complaining about another class being busted, TZ is truly a gamer.

    If anyone wonders what the parasitoid wasps do that is so disturbing, they will paralyze their prey before laying eggs on them, the prey is alive but in a permanent state of paralysis, so the larvae would hatch and literally eat the prey alive. (Source: Brave Wilderness, Tarantula Hawk)

    That was a really nice explanation of how eusociality breaks down normal natural selection processes. Just by changing how genetic information is passed on, the math of the objective itself switches.

    Never realized just how much ant and bee eusociality breaks the game. And to think the devs have been letting them get away with these broken builds for 100 million+ years...

    I love how you used the darkest dungeon fear effect to show their intimidation stat

    Calling scientists "dataminers" has to be one of the more clever things I've heard here. Great stuff man.

    Everyone always forgets the termites, they invented eusociality, agriculture, climate control, standing militaries, and more but the upstart ants always get the credit.

    It's great that you used hornet's theme from hollow knight as the music in parts, considering the theme of the video

    I'm not a biologist, so I'll just stick to pointing out that this is a great analogy of eusociality and game theory. Great job!

    Would be interested in a rating of the mantis shrimp build and other related builds; as the mantis shrimp has some of the most unique perks of any build in the aquatic server

    This actually is a really common type of exploit in a lot of games, entirely disregarding something that seems really important to most players (in this case size and HP) in order to spend all your available points into OP abilities that you could never combine otherwise or unlock that early.

    "the game is being played less like an RPG and more like an RTS.." honestly that's an amazing analogy haha

    An ant tier list woulr be really good. Even though most of their playstyles are the same, there are some species that are clearly better than the others and have different strategies or abilities.

    Playing as a worker ant is so fun, being able to not have the common breeding main quest makes a lot more time for fun, while also the spawn availability is so big, so everyone can just do a suicidal attack at a powerful enemy and still spawn as a new ant not very long after.

    I’d like to hear you talk about how the Argentinian ant supercolonies have exploited this even further with the way they entered other servers leading to a lack of in fighting between their colonies on invaded servers allowing them to heavily out compete other ants in the area.
