And do you have a bad connection? You reply so slowly.

Actually the issue tends to be multi-tasking, and # tracking -- that, and this is both new to me and takes lots of time to make sure I'm not screwing up the #s horribly.

Previously suggested actions:
"I think we should send 100 of the old warrior to the node base. This will give it some protection and they can also be used as workers if needed."

"IIwarriors 75
--25 guarding the entrance
--25 guarding the queen
--25 out patrolling in groups of 5.

All old warriors (minus the 100 that are going to the node base) should battle another earthworm except 25 left back to handle the aphids. 145 should have a good chance to take one. I think we should wait for the next batch of warriors before we start testing the Tech 2 warriors."

"move all hurt ants to the "treatment Center"
-Also pull 10 total diggers off the storage chamber expantion group to build a treatment center. We need a place that we can "bed" and rest hurt ants."

allocate some ants to construction and maintenance of ant strip club.

Ants do not wear any form of clothing right now.
Nor do they have any concept of clothing.
Finally, all worker ants are female but sterile, and the queen is female too. Males are short lived and only born to fertilize a new queen.

>>5740968
oh, well then wait for stuff to happen, I guess. Not too much to do, though the treatment center sounds good.

Are the previous suggestions to be implemented?
Otherwise there are idle ants which could be assigned jobs.

1 hour larvae or 2 hour larvae?

What is splendor?

Also, I think we should increase intelligence.

>>5741735
the minerals appear to be "Freaky Shit" while direct consumption indeed proved lethal (at least for now) there may be other methods of making use of them. It is entirely possible that these minerals were directly responsible for the Queen's sentience and the nest's rapid changes, direct contact with developing embryos may accelerate this.

I would have recommended placing the eggs in direct contact with the mother-lode however with its distance from the nest the eggs would have gone through much of their initial development already.

>>5741737
random adaptation (1d30)

>>5741769
lets actually do 10 of each. (increasing original suggested test size by 10)

Splendor makes the ants more majestic, and are more likely to be received favorably by other creatures. They will adopt unique coloration, distinguishing them from other broods. Such ants are generally more capable than others.

>>5741918
Cut the crap, just explain them all.

I need 2 hour larvae ant designations.

>>5741943
100 warriors, 50 workers?

Seems like the warriors can feed us with their lives against the earthworms...

We need CPA. =s

Looking at how our Aphid negotiations are going we could use some more charisma, lets hit up Splendor.

>>5742003
seconding this.

Size explains itself. Bigger ants.
Toxins means that the ant brood will specialize in producing venomous, poisonous and acidic ants. This will allow their queen immediate access to some strains.
Splendor as explained before, makes majestic ants, more easily accepted by other species, and generally stronger/faster/smarter/larger ants (but each aspect not the the degree of say, SIZE upgrade). Additionally opens up new strains for the Tyranid Queen (Main queen)
Random, will be a d30 roll. Similar to a regular random mutation roll.
Thus, 30 is a chance at improved random, or elect for a Great brood upgrade. 1-8 is a poor brood upgrade (less useful than regular ones). 9-22 is a normal brood upgrade, but more limited in selection than above. 23-28 is a good upgrade (slightly better than above upgrade options). 29 is a great upgrade (on par with about 2 above upgrade options).
As with ALL brood upgrades, they are SPECIFIC TO THAT BROOD ONLY.

actually, wait, we have 740 workers and 245 warriors? lets make the larvae 150 warriors, particularly if we are going to be feeding the hive with earthworms.

>>5742015
Splendor and INT? The combination of those would make aphid negotiation much easier.

>>5742003
Thirding this. Earthworm hunting should net us a crazy amount of food. Also, we should send out more scouts.

>>5742077
We're feeding them with anything we can.

>>5742078
lets try at least one random, Splendor and the d30.

I'm just gonna ASSUME that you mean the most advanced warriors from now on whenever warriors are mentioned as production. Anything else will need to be specified as such.

>>5742136
I find this rational.

>>5742124
Seconding this. Also, changing my vote from the earlier hatching plan plan to all warriors.

>>5742136
WARRIORS OF DOOM!

>>5742193
Alright, I'll go with this.

>>5742136
is there any reasonable situation where we would want anything else?

Splendor and d30 roll chosen as upgrades.
First roll after this post will be results.

Larger ants are heavier and bigger targets, so for stealth?
Yes.

rolled 25 = 25

FOR THE GLORY OF THE NEST!

>>5742330
Ooo, booyea.

>>5742330
Fine roll, sir.

>>5742318
we'll do stealth when we get the "flying Ninja" upgrade.

>>5742362
Speaking of which, are our ants still diver ants?

Good upgrade!
-Sloth strain affliction reduction by 25%
-Pheromone complexity improvement
-Brood representatives

Sloth reduction explains itself.
Pheromone complexity improvement allows for more complex communication between ants, and other species - less advanced ants will be capable of producing pheromones understandable by other species, and pheromones can be 'encrypted' to a minor degree.
Brood representatives will allow for improved inter brood relations and communications. Currently the new queen will be somewhat independent though she will not directly harm the Tyranid Queen, she would be more likely to obey her commands.

Heh. Impressive that that upgrade was remembered. It isn't in archive if I recall. Anyhow -- ALL ants except SLOTH ants are diver ants.

We should send another 50 warriors out to fight when they mature.

>>5742470
With the Sweet Ooze Sloth really isn't much of an issue.
tough choice between Pheromone complexity and Brood representatives.
I vote Brood representatives, we need to keep interdepartmental conflict to a minimum to focus on the larger corporate goals of World Domination.

>>5742470
Pheromone complexity.

I want the pheromones... they seem like they'd be a great improvement to our interactions with other species. But it is indeed tough.

well pheromone complexity Does seem like it would do most of what Brood Representatives does...namely keep open lines of communication.

>>5742671
Indeed, but one is simply focused on the other brood.
Highly effective with regards to them alone, or slightly effective for everything?

I guess we're going with the pheromone improvement, then?

pheromone complexity seems to imply better communication between All ants, while the brood representatives seems to imply only between the queens, and since we took splendor, it was mentioned we would be able to get upgrades for the main queen. ok, lets go for the pheromone upgrade since it seems far more useful and hope we an get a "royal status" or whatever later on.

>>5742789
Not just ants,
>other species - less advanced ants will be capable of producing pheromones understandable by other species

Perhaps we can get somewhere with the aphids now.

It seems that a conclusion has been more or less reached.
** there are still 5 idle ants.
Request advanced time when ready.

>>5742836
What? Idle ants? Go Gather Food!

There are two gatherable sources of food right now. . .

>>5743181
nuke them from orbit

>>5743181
bring them a feast of food containing the crazy mineral. offer directly to queen. In fact, have a feast at their nest, with new larvae being the diplomats (10 diplomats would probably work) and insist that we bring the food. Ideally, the entire hierarchy along with our diplomats would die due to the feast. If possible have one of the diplomats slip some more of the minerals into their general food supply.

Send our diplomats to say hi. and find out if they know anything we don't!

>>5743429
This but if we don't like them we can just
>>5743312
and incorporate all the remaining ants after the queen/hierarchy are eliminated. We can do that, right?

>>5743533
A sucessful conquest would certainly have rewards... We should try to contact them first, see what he can find out about them.

What're the chances of us subjugating the other colony and sacrificing their leaders to Khorne?

Send 10 diplomants to make contact. An alliance would be beneficial.

No breed of ants has been specialized for diplomacy -- though the digger ants and worker ants are better diplomats than the inherently aggressive warriors.
The absolute best ant for conducting an inter colony conversation would of course be the queen.
Please specify which kinds of ants, how many and how they shall approach the other colony.

You cannot predict the difficulties of integrating another colony's ants into your own hive. It is possible in theory, but is significantly more difficult to integrate the matured ants than it is to 'adopt' the larvae. This endeavor is also affected by their socal advancements, and intelligence level. The adopted strain would not have the same benefits of your ants, and you would be unable to produce the unique strains without tests first -- thus, their numbers would be limited by how many you adopt successfully. If you can convince the queen to follow you, it would become one of your broods. This would allow unique paths to be taken, but is extraordinarily difficult. Military control of their hive would certainly kill the queen and many of the individuals, and would likely limit you to only the larvae. However, slain ants of their hive could be consumed as food most likely.

lets actually keep the queens together for better inter-brood communication, expand the current queen chamber to accommodate a second queen.

>>5743692

I disagree, it's better to decentralize the queens so that we don't have to restart in case the central hive gets attacked by psycho-burrowing wasps or some other nasty shit.

>>5743656
send 10 worker ants, (ideally ones with Splendor) to the new nest as diplomats.

10 worker ants from where? Sloth? Infernic? (For reference, no ants besides the second queen are of the Brood Tyranae Formicinae)

>>5743729
ok, lets make a new queen's chamber, a nice deep one that's very defensible.

Call back the ants that were digging the scouting tunnels send 20 to scout East, and 40 to work on a new "Royal Chamber" about 12 feet down.

>>5743800
dang, ok, we'll wait till we can send some Splendor ants.

waitasec, we have 100 warriors guarding the new queen while she moves? where exactly is she moving To?

And the Tyranae Formicinae queen, is the only one currently with Splendor? lets call her Princess Jasmine. we'll drop any social brood upgrades on her, and any offensive brood upgrades on the Tyranid queen.

>>5743729

This guy knows what he's on about. I agree with diggin a new, more defensible royal chamber.

Nonono. New ants of the Tyranid Queen will have Splendor (the other queen is the wrong brood).
Tyranid queen has Splendor brood trait. (Tyranae Dorylini)
Tyranae Formicinae has no brood traits yet.

And, there is a secondary 'hive' consisting of 1 royal chamber, 1 nursery, and a fully sized food storage area. This is where most of the diggers have been working for awhile.
The 100 non IIwarriors are moving to the new colony as per previous suggestions. They are still under your command.
It is probably best to leave them there until the new queen has her first generation going -- 2 hours from now. In the mean time she will likely rest once she arrives, gather a bit of food, and then produce a second batch of eggs in the new area.
The second hive area is located about an hour south -- fairly close to the flower fields, about half an hour to reach there.

>>5744070
I see, well when the splendor ants hatch send 10 as diplomats, then.

>>5744070
ok, cool, lets continue with plans on the deep XL Royal Chamber though.

And of course, theres also the 75 idle infernic IIwarriors. . .
Anyway, I can't assign workers/diggers/ants to DO things unless you give me NUMBERS and from where.

>>5744154
send the warriors to go extract protection money from neighbors. When the diplomats are ready we can send them along to demonstrate our military might.

>>5744188
Oh, and of course simply refer to them as a small, typical ambassadorial escort.

!! Aphids are attacking the ants which are tending to them! -- the wounded have been moved from the area, and cannot work. The aphids appear to be cooperating with eachother, protecting themselves. The aphids are being contained within the pen area.
The wounded ants appear to be suffering from the Aphid venom. It is unknown if they will survive.

Can we give the other queen a name?

you know to make it less confusing? How about .....? I don't know

That would be ideal, as the name: tyranae formicinae brood is neither short nor easy to remember how to type/spell. <_<

I just wanted to say that we should try to use the aphids for poison harvesting purposes.

Of course, this should be attempted after the riot is dealt with.

>>5744709
how about Ranae, you know like it is a shortened tyranae so it kinda works and Ranae can pass for an actual name?

Get it another vote, and its fine.
