Ant Armies

Postby DemonicGamerGirl » Mon Sep 02, 2013 11:19 pm

You know when you raid anthills, you get: Ant Pupae, Ant Larvae, Ant Soldiers, Ant Queens, and Ant Empresses. An idea I had was that you could use them to battle other players, kind of like pokemon. You could put the Ant Pupae and Larvae and put them in little containers you build out of soil (anthill incubator). The Pupae will grow into Larvae in 3 days and the Larvae into soldiers in 1 1/2 days. Occasionally, the larvae would grow into queens, and even rarer, empresses.

Classes:

Ant Soldiers: Your typical, expendable soldiers, not weak but not strong. You can equip them with minature things to power them up, like bits of stinging nettle as a weapon, and pieces of stone as armor. Kind of like the clay soldiers mod for minecraft, but simpler.

Ant Queens: Required to have a battle, as you need to protect them from harm. During battle, they may produce ant soldiers when half of the army is dead. When the queen is killed by enemy soldiers, you lose the battle.

Ant Empress: The Ant Empress is an ant queen but 5x better. Instead of staying stationary, they will charge into the battle and attack viciously. When their health is low, they will begin to mass produce soldiers, or even a queen.


To initiate a battle, click a buddy and click the option 'Ant Duel' to begin. You choose how many ants will participate in the battle and there CAN be more than 1 queen, but only 1 empress. Also, you MUST have a bet of sorts. Like, you bet a Q55 boar meat and lose, your adversary gains the boar meat.

I hope you like the idea! It's a thing I just thought of a minute ago and decided to write it down before I forgot.

Comment and post your ideas and opinions!

I like the amount of thought you put into this, but IMO Haven is not meant to be like other games. And I really dont see the usefulness in the ant army reguardless. It would just walk into water and get confused :lol:

This little activity will be to like add to the game. It won't be expensive, all you'll need is dirt. Plus, when you come home to your buddy, and are bored because you're waiting for your house to 'set', you can play really a nice little ant war battle thingy. And when I said, 'kind of like pokemon' I meant only that you use animals to battle for you. YOU won't be battling, but your little ants will. And that's all the semblance I hope to get between the games.
