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