Trivia

  • Driver ants have been confirmed to be unplayable as complete colonies because they build bivouacs using their own bodies.
  • Driver ant workers are treated as soldiers. You can play with them in Tug of War 3 and also encounter them following large food landmarks in custom games. You can't add them to your custom colonies.
