“It will lay down a pheromone trail that the other ants can follow back to the food source.” Like wasps and bees, ants are social and live in a colony with one or more queens. That means the workers ...

But SimAnt was a good title with a lot of deep systems in place for managing the ant colony that at the time were pretty revolutionary. Years later, we now have Empire of the Ants, which is available ...
