Red vs Blue(Or Black) Ant War


Recommended Posts

While I'm sure the devs have a ton to work on and this would be really low priority, I know they want to add more ant hills in the future. So I'd like to suggest Black Ants vs Red Ants vying for control of the yard while everything is going on. My basic idea would be if they had multiple ant hills in the yard, the red ants and black ants could basically try and claim as many of the hills as possible, with the soldiers from each side invading enemy ant hills.

Of course this would have to have some kind of benefits for the players and give them a reason to go into ant hills and help one side or another or keep them in check. So I propose if one side is clearly in control of the yard, then they become far more aggressive more soldiers wandering around however each anthill will also contain more resources, with each side focusing on different kinds of resources. Red ants can already collect things like mints, so I propose they'd have a higher chance of containing mints and a few other sets of rare resources. Meanwhile black ants might try and find other resources to bring into their nests (something equally rare), maybe they like feathers or some future resource the point is they should focus on something different. Now, what benefit is there for a player that just keeps them more or less even? Well you won't see resources, but the ants will be less aggressive, fewer raids on your base as they have another enemy to focus on. So it becomes more of an equilibrium kind of thing to keep exploration easy. Last thing I would suggest is each side in the ant war would have to have a way to spawn in from outside of the map so that they can never be completely eradicated.

More of a fun idea, doubt it will ever be implemented but I thought it would be interesting to think about.
