      Humans have compared ourselves to ants for a long time; in the context that we're gods compared to them, but I think even ancient observers noticed that ants have complex societies. Ant war is very intriguing. They're a lot like us, minus the complex brain. If ants were the size of dogs, and smarter, we'd all be boned.

    Aside from separate army ant swarms ignoring each other, there are a few ant species with dynamics that go beyond enemies. One particularly chilling example is a species of ant that practices the enslavement of other species.

    It's so interesting how an animal like the ant is individually entirely unimpressive. Both in terms of physical capabilities and intelligence they are not special or are even inferior to so many other animals.
    But then as a group they stand out so much in that they are the closest to humans in terms of organization. Offensive and defensive war tactics, agriculture, building large structures to live in, etc.
    Despite being so far away from us biologically, they are the only animals that share those things with us.
    Close relatives like Bees are similar of course.

      An interesting thing is; termites, an ant/bee like social insect that has no connection with them (they're a relative of cockroaches which is weirder),
      is actually better builders than ants.
      Many of them builds incredible towers made out of dirt to live in millions. I kind of fascinated by them.

      It takes place in Central Park. You can pick different kinds of ants, like slaver ants, which get +2 units of warriors after conquering a hive, army ants, with faster replenishing troops, or leafcutter ants, who can build better structures.

      "Hello. Me, Cyril. I would like you to make a game, 3D-action is the essence... The user can play wood elves, the Palace guard and a villain. And if the user plays elves then the elves are in the forest, the wooden houses are raided by the Palace soldiers and villains. You can Rob korowai... And elf forest time to make sure that there is a dense forest... And the engine can be put so far away trees in picture when podhodil they are converted to the 3-dimensional trees[1]. You can buy, etc. features as in Daggerfall. And enemies are 3-dimensional too, and also 3D corpse. You can jump, etc. If you play for Palace security it is necessary to obey the commander, and to protect the Palace from evil (name I invented) and spies, guerrillas elves, and goes on raids on some of these (elves, evil...). For evil... it means spies or guerrillas elves sometimes attack, the user himself, the commander can do what he wants orders his troops with him to attack the Palace and go on the attack. There are 4 zones in the game. T. E. map and on it there is 4 zone, 1 - zone people (neutral), 2 - zone Emperor (where Palace), 3-zone elf, 4 - zone vicious... (in the mountains, there is an old Fort...)
      In the same way that the game could not only kill but also chop off a hand and if user will not cure he will die, as well gouge out the eyes but you may not die but just the screen not to see, or to get or to buy a prosthesis, if the leg is also will either die or be crawling or in a wheelchair to ride, or the most good... put the prosthesis. You can save...

    I love this Ant series and furthers my distaste of the "we are just ants to aliens why would they come here" argument. The way i see it curiosity is the foundation to intelligence and if there are sophisticated alien species out there they would absolutely want to learn about us. I can just picture an alien watching a Kurgesagt video about the "Humans on the Planet Called Earth."

    honestly this is really neat, ants have like actual wars, there are scouting parties, raids, invasions, they have tactics, form lines and defensive, offensive positions, they are smart enough to form barricades with stones and build homes out of leaves (well, some of them) some ants have cattle, some ants (I read about) actually have other slaves that are other ant species. I wonder if there are commander ants, how do they take orders?
