Cuztomizations

Randomization

Maps have default designs for the surface and the underground area. Surface and underground enemies are approriate to the environment by default.

Every colony is randomly assigned to an underground area and a surface nest location at the start of a custom game.

Landmarks will be generated based on your choices if randomization is enabled.

Caverns and underground enemies will be randomly generated based on your choices if randomization is enabled. Food amount and danger amount can be toggled in a preset range but food amount must always be higher than danger amount.

Leaves, lignocellulose and dead termites replace other underground food when you play as leafcutter ants, termites and Matabele ants respectively. Edible enemies and food from underground caverns don't disappear over time.
