do you even ant?
I would play this

We seriously need more ant games
The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Simant
>>271323348
because it's the only one
and the bugs life game, of course.
The ultimate comfy game

No other game really managed to replicate this feel for me, but ops idea might be a good contender.
I get the feeling that if ant-people were a thing they'd be our natural allies.
Spiders too.
>>271323003

only if in they have this "winged 3000 ant queens into the sky" kind of mechanism to spread themselves. If they kept long term colonies instead of breeding like niggers it might not be so bad. They would basically just be gated communities.
>>271323890
I think its some kind of centipedey thing. Either way that whole webm was gross. I would try to kill it all with fire not film it. That or run away screaming losing what little masculinity and dignity I had left.....which is little.
>every ant just wants to ERP
>>271323635
Ants are little people. With that said, an Ant would fuck us up. You think you're gonna fight off a huge ass ant that can lift a hundred times it's own weight? Hell no, he's going to snap your neck with his mandibles, toss your carcass on his back, and march back to the colony.
if all ants were 1 inch large they would dominate the planet
>>271323908
Being on equal footing is actually better in the long-term because neither side develops resentment/jealousy of the other.

>>271323235
Ya know, a multiplayer pikmin would actually be kinda neat. Like imagine it being 10 players only and you're given a random colored pikmin. When you die you respawn out of one of those onion pod things, but there's like a limited number in there. Mechanically each pikmin type would still be the same, but you'd have to work together to accomplish shit.
>>271324875
I distinctly, distinctly remember my first encounter with ants. I was at a friends house and there was this weird moving black mass on a window sill or something. It was so fucking bizarre because I genuinely had no fucking clue why this black stain was moving like it was so I touched it, I immediately get this weird electric shock tingly feeling in my finger so I place my entire hand on it. Whole hand feels like its getting a light electric shock. Fucking weird. Eventually realized they were ants when they started dispersing.
all I did in tech ed in middle school was play simant and lemmings
We need multiplayer for all those old sims games, simant, simtower, simfarm

Apparently, their bite is like... 2nd or the 3rd most painful bite among insects according to some dude that let every insect bite him. Akin to being shot by a gun some say. Fucking hardcore.

you even see the Antz film? how they build a bridge using themselves? they actually do that in real life
>>271326205
For sex?I hope

>they come with built in body armour thats capable of also building structures, what the fuck would they need us for.
I don't know man, I just like the idea of a sci-fi setting where Humanity's firmest ally turns out to be something we'd associate with terrifying bug-monsters.
>>271324257
No they wouldn't. Individually ants are little more then a machine with no intelligence. Each and is like an individual bit, can't do anything unless there are enough of them. Even then humans could easily manipulate them using hormones.

Well no shit, theres a reason its called a bullet ant
There will be two ant clans that you can choose from when you join. After one in game ant month to setup your base and prepare defenses, the barrier between the ant clans comes down, and an all out war breaks out to destroy the other ants queen. After the enemy queen is killed, one clan earns a short celebration period and the game restarts. Hows that sound for a game?

What I'm trying to say here is that DEWEY WAS RIGHT
>>271323635
I think Flypeople would be our allies, seeing how much they love waste, and how much we produce. I'd feel as if Antpeople would be too expansionist and territorial, and would try to wipe man out. And they'd probably succeed since they're much harder workers and aren't as burdened by emotion.
Anyone have the link to those ants that are basically jew ants?
I.E. they have infiltrated a red ant colony, enslaved them and basically let them serve these parasitic ants.
>>271323309
>Literally an army of the blind leading the blind

>>271326504
If the ants like us could start to think big (get a consciousness) they would be natural allies to us in a way. Many of their values are also ours, even though we are different species. Did you see how they drag off wounded soldiers to their hive? I bet if they had tiny hospitals they would treat them too. Not many other animals do this.
>>271328030
shrek yourself
The expansion "Zombie ant fungi"
>A parasitic 'zombie' fungus controls its ant hosts to die outside their nest so it can find fresh prey easily, researchers have found.
>Researchers say Ophiocordyceps camponoti-rufipedis, known as the 'zombie ant fungus,' controls the behavior of carpenter ant workers - Camponotus rufipes - to die with precision attached to leaves in the understory of tropical forests.
>It also manipulates its victims to die in the vicinity of the colony, so it can drop infected spores onto the ground and infect others.

>>271328510
I've seen ant documentaries that confirm it.
One type of and will go to another species of ants colony, kill the queen, bath in her guts to fool all of the workers into thinking that she is their queen. There are also many types of ants that will keep other species of ants as slaves.
>>271328693
do ants have names?
>>271328805
Nature is fucking brutal. We are basically ants but on a larger scale.
>>271323635
Don't think so m8. They'd have no reason to be. What you're asking for is a species that's as intelligent as humans (with even more intelligent leaders), immensely stronger, immensely more prolific, and much, much better organized.
There's literally nothing they'd gain from us, they wouldn't even consider enslaving us since we're too weak by comparison to be worth shit as slaves.
We'd just be annoying pests to them at best. Maybe a controversial delicacy for some colonies, like us eating other "intelligent" animals.
>>271329054
They aren't as intelligent as humans; don't kid yourself.
We could make ants extinct if we really wanted to
>>271329054
If anything ants would be less intelligent.
They operate as a hive mind, intelligence comes from the group, not individuals.
Ants have more in common with the Geth then us.
>>271327373

>yfw Spiders are actually undercover race Aliens in mechs.
>>271329229
They've already taken over the world. There's literally nothing stopping them when they decide to periodically invade my house for no damn reason. Only mercy stays their blade.
Read this you doubleniggers. Ants are literally mini-humans.
Ants would revolt against their glutinous masters, sacrificing themselves to protect their families from being enslaved.
See image or http://discovermagazine.com/2013/may/05-how-ant-slaves-overthrow-their-masters
>>271329242
Actually it's more analogous to something like Sparta, since the ants that keep the slaves are a race of warriors that are completely unable to survive without their slaves. Their bodies are made for combat to the exclusion of everything else.
>>271328693
Yeah why would anyone do something without their name attached to get attention

Did you read my posts from that thread of a day ago haha? About the humanoids always being used as aliens because people have more empathy for them? Ha, neat.
And yea, reverse expectations are also very neat. Why wouldnt a smart alien type out there try to manipulate us. Why does it always have to be this casual and standard of nice faced aliens.
Outer space is supposed to be spooky and strange, limiting yourself to feel good human feels is just lame, its not what sci fi should be about.
>>271329229
there is more ant biomass on this planet than there is human biomass
we have just found that a certain type of ant has hypercolonies spanning entire continents
they already took over the earth, we just don't know it yet
>>271328217
I read in a magazine about how a breed of wasp lays its larvae in a ladybug along with some chemicals that fuck with its brain to protect the larvae. It lives inside the ladybug, eating it from the inside out.
After the larvae outgrows the ladybug and cocoons itself, the ladybug attaches itself to the cocoon and defends it from predators until the larvae reaches wasp status. The ladybug usually dies afterwards, but some survive the ordeal.
