- ANT WARS - Copyright 1993 - Jeff Freeman - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
-
- The object of the game is to bring seeds to the Queen ant(s). The Queen
- may then create more ants, to bring more seeds, to make more ants, etc.
-
-
- There are several different types of Ants.
-
- The ARMY ant kills other players' ants.
-
- The WORKER can dig tunnels very quickly and can carry a few seeds.
-
- The HARVESTER cannot dig very well, but can carry many seeds at a time.
-
- The PLANTER cannot dig well or carry many seeds, but can turn seeds into
- plants. These plants then produce more seeds in a day or so.
-
- The BUILDER can create walls which other ants cannot dig through. This
- is good for defending your colony's food supply.
-
- The BOMBER is a strange mutation that is actually capable of exploding.
- This can not only kill a lot of ants, but knock holes in walls created
- by BUILDERs as well.
-
- The SCANNER can help map-out the underworld terrain - as well as keep an
- eye on the borders of your colony to ensure enemies aren't approaching.
-
- The COLLAPSER can EXPLODE, just like the BOMBER, but the resulting blast
- will only cause tunnels and caverns (which other ants have dug) to
- collapse, this will not otherwise harm ants in the blast radius.
-
- The QUEEN ant makes more ants. The more seeds the Queen has, the more
- ants she can make. You may even have more than one Queen ant (in the
- registered version), in effect allowing you to establish several
- colonies. Other ants can give seeds to a Queen by DROPping the seeds
- onto the Queen ant.
-
- If you lose all of your Queen ants then you are removed from the game
- for several days - so defend the Queen!
-
- Mind that your ants' hunger level doesn't become too high - ants must
- eat at least once every five days.
