Ants Wars [Strategy]

to describe the factors
-What unit you are making
-What food types you currently have
-How much of that food type you currently have

Those are the main factors for when you make a new unit.
Let’s say you have 50 grass points, and 30 pine-nut points
Depending on what you have available gives it a bonus that will effect it for the rest of it’s life.
Now, it isn’t you standard ‘This ant costs 10 food points. Since you have 50 grass points and 30 pine-nut points, it will take 7 grass points and 3 pine nut points
It won’t be like that at, instead it will be like this.

A red ant accepts both Grass and pine nut points. It prefers grass over pine-nut and gives bonus depending no how much grass you have.
Grass also is used as a major food source for your red ants.
So because grass is a major source that is used in both the ants birth and life, it’s divided by a greater factor.
So out of 50 grass, the game actually splits into very small blocks depending on how many ants you currently have. Let’s say for every ant you have, the game divides that 50 grass into smaller blocks.


Your ants will eat their food source every often. Depending on how much of that food source you have, gives them a bonus that changes depending on how much food you have.
So you have 70 ants. And you have a total of 50 grass.
NumberOfUnits X .Food Source /3
In this case; 70 multiply .50 /3 = 11.66
11.66 is the total amount of grass that 70 ants eat in grand total.
Invidually, each ant ate .16 grass

So now your total grass is 38 (rounded, every 2 mean periods it removes extra food point)
Let’s do another meal time.
70 X .38 /3 = 8.8
So in total all your ants eat a grand total of 8.8 food points.
Invidually, each ant eats .12 grass

As you see, it slowly gets smaller. But as your food gets smaller, the changes become less and less noticeable.
When each ant gets an invidual piece of .8 grass points, it will become slower and easier to defeat. While on the opposite, having more food makes it faster and harder to kill.
Though if you have 3 ants and 300 grass points instead of each ant getting more than 50 grass each at each meal, it’s capped at .20 grass for each invidual ant.

When you choose to make a new unit, the food system applies something similar to that (actually taking a little more grass) and gives it a permanent bonus or defect depending on how much you have.

3 ant types

Close Range: High health, medium attack, fast speed
Ranged: Medium Health, medium attack, medium speed. Have small minimum attack range (1/6 range can’t attack)
Long Range: Low health, medium attack, slow speed. Has medium minimum attack range (¼ range can’t attack) Isn’t effected by combat trigger if attacking. Effected by combat trigger if attacked.

Strength: Takes less damage from ants, and deals more damage to them.
Weakness: Takes more damage from those ants, and deals less damage to them.
Neutral: Takes average damage from those ants, and deals average damage to them.

Each group is broken down into 4 different ant types
Ant A: Good against B and C, bad against D, A
Ant B: Good against C and D, Bad against A, B
Ant C: Good against D and A, Bad against B, C
Ant D: Good against A and B, Bad against C, D

Each unit has 2 strengths, and 2 weaknesses. While it’s strengths don’t’ give it 1hit kills against a unit that’s weak to it, it gives you a large advantage.


Guard Ants are also powerful. They come in 4 types.
GantA: Good against AntB, Bad against C, Neutral to D and A
GantB Good against AntC, Bad against ant D, neutral to A, B
GantC Good against ant D, bad against A, neutral to B, C
GantD Good against ant A, bad against B, neautral to C, D

Each unit has 1 strength and 1 weakness, along with 2 neutrals.
Guard ants are incredibly strong when underground and near the hole, though above ground they are very easy to kill.





When the game starts, each player is given an option for a slight increase in a spefic food type. The food type you pick will be given 200% more food points in this area, and get 15% more points for food of that spefic type.


There are 6 food types. Each food type is distributed evenly (on an average) around the map. The food types are often mixed together, so when your worker comes back, it might get you some points of multiple groups.

There are 4 staple foods, which are used to feed your already alive ants. The staple foods also act as a booster for hatching ants; giving them a permanent bonus.

There are 2 hatching food types. These are required if you want to hatch ants, though if fed to already-alive ants, they give them a small (not permanent) boost.

In short: staple foods = keeps alive units alive, boosts baby units
Hatching foods = hatches baby units, boosts alive units



Obviously (hopefully you know this) these aren’t the names I’m going to use, I simply used those terms to describe the basic feeling. Feeding system is fully automated (while workers are automatic, you have some control over them. Such as find new food, find certain food type, ect)
