Ant Wars

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Ant Wars!
Ant Wars is a RTS that takes place underground. But it has a twist. The terrain for ant wars is randomly generated so that you will never play against people who have memorized the map. This feature includes a "-restart" command that will wipe the map clean and allowing the game to restart from the beginning.
So. Lets see it in action.

You have many options for the map size and many more options soon to come.

Generation of the terrain takes about 1-2 seconds. -Updated (Old:5-10)

This map uses Food/Supplies instead of traditional Gold/Lumber.
Anyway, you can spawn 5-30 fungus collonies (-Updated) which act as food sources.

You may also choose the spawning size of begining armies. Ranging from small to huge.

Ok, got rid of all them evil green buttons.
What, would you like to see in said multiboard?
Nice :)

Well dunno, maybe how many workers/warriors you have, kill counts, resources or power level (something you create on your own), and so on. This way players can see their and enemy progress as well :)
