link Some ideas there for semi-intelligent or intelligent aliens, or just giant ants, in games. Giant ant queen creating human zombies through chemical secretions… Cool pics there too of different species of ants. |

"One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves." |

@Terrement – IIRC both Gruntz (for platoon-level) and Strike Legion have rules that could cover the hive mind and things like pheromones/chemical signals, by repurposing some of the hacking or nanotech rules. |

Phase IV is a great 70's SF film. What is so amazing was that it was done with actual super-intelligent ants. They were also good actors! Only joking, but it is a great film. |

Ants also live in symbiosis with a lot of other life forms for their mutual benefit. I've always wondered about alien insects that have opened their hive to humans. |

I have a huge book on ants which I occasionally drop on them if they show up. |
