It'd be nice if there was an explanation at the start of the game about what the different ants were good for - otherwise it takes a while to figure it out, which makes the early game feel a bit confusing.
My feedback:
- it could use tutorial or some hints (like how much ants cost, and what are SPECIFIC differences between ant types), currenlty it's a bit of trial and error
- configurable AI (shame to admit, but I got annihilated)
- configurable map size (newbies could start on small maps to just learn the game, later on you could get complex maps with more water which right now is very underused)
- managing each worker gets tedious when controlling more of them and getting further from the anthill, it would be great to allow Player to just point at resource stack, and let ant handle both getting there and bacl (if control is not taken over manually).
As some others have said, some explanation of ant types and some stuff would be nice. But overall, good entry, keep it up!
