I don't feel like installing an emulator, if you release a mac build I'll test it 🍎
temporary-url.com is a great and cool thing!

how long do you have to start building units before the AI comes in with tanks and... RAIDs

honestly i havent played long enough that one colony has eliminated the other.
it takes about 6-7 food to produce a raider ant (i think there should be some code so that older guards/scouts eventually become raiders but i'll have to check that its in there). raiders do a random walk until they find either a threat trail left by a scout, or a food trail for the enemy, in which case they are supposed to follow the food trail back to the enemy nest. you can help them a bit by selecting one and manually walking them to the part of the map you want.
in future updates i'll try and tweak things so a better flow gets established. i haven't really stress tested so im not sure what kind of unit counts are possible.
thanks for playing =)

guess i should clarify it was intended to be a sandbox or "virtual terrarium" more than an RTS or sim with a specific goal of winning. you could probably just dig a colony with a good layout and then deselect the queen to let things evolve on autopilot.
