The three ant types and what they do

Table

In short Each ant type has a fixed role, so you need all three to run a healthy colony.

Your queen is the center of everything, but she relies on the ants you raise around her. Workers, Majors, and Drones each cover a different part of colony life.

Queen	the colony's core; if she falls, the remaining ants form a new colony
Workers	gather food, which keeps the whole colony alive
Majors	your frontline fighters against bugs and enemy colonies
Drones	support your fighting force in combat

Multiplayer and rival colonies

Tips

In short Up to twelve players share a server, and their colonies are both a threat and a source of rewards.

The server cap of twelve players means you will almost always have competition nearby. Other players' colonies can be fought for ants and food.

Tips worth knowing

Up to twelve players can be in the same server at once
Rival colonies can be attacked just like bug creatures, and they drop ants and food when beaten
You can also cooperate with other players to bring down tough bugs together

Glossary

Queen: The ant the player controls; she is the heart of the colony and her defeat triggers the new-colony mechanic.
Worker: An ant whose job is to collect food, keeping the rest of the colony fed and functional.
Major: A combat ant built for direct fighting against bugs and rival colonies.
Drone: A combat ant that supports Majors during battles rather than fighting on the front line.
Colony: The group made up of your queen and all the ants under her; you can have up to two per server after a queen is defeated.

Common questions

FAQ

What happens to my progress when my queen is defeated?

Any ants that are still alive automatically band together and form a new colony, so you keep playing. Each server allows a maximum of two colonies created this way.

How do I get more ants and food?

Defeating bug creatures and enemy player colonies both reward you with extra ants and food. Workers also collect food.
