It’s been a really long time, but I once did a paper on ants in like, 3rd or 4th grade, and if I remember correctly they don’t kill the aphids, they use them for milk. Pretty much an ant cow (not to be confused with cow ants)
Hey Matt, I like this a lot. You should really check out the channel AntsCanada, if you fancy some ant knowledge and stuff. This dude has awesome antfarms and you learn so much about those increadibly engineery animals. Beavers have nothing on them... (But I do love me some timberborners) keep on the good stuff Oh and maybe check out Empire of the undergrowth, or howits called, it's like an Ant RTS game
16:49 you save up the pink flower and then place it on top of them so it stuns them if you had to use it you can use the purple flowers to make your self invincible to attack them or command to attack them
As I’m sure many people have said in the comments already, here are a few ant fact (I’m studying microbio not insects so forgive me if I’m wrong): leaf cutter ants use fungus they have developed a symbiotic relationship with yo grow fungus, they then eat the fungus instead of the leaves, also ants don’t usually eat aphids, especially when they are trying to get honey dew, but certain species of ants and aphids work together the ants protect and even transport aphids between plants so they eat the plant and poop out honey dew which the ants actually eat, so in these two examples of symbiotic relationships ants have they are quite the little farmers, and also a bonus scorpion fact, some scorpions actually fluoresce under UV or even natural moonlight, which is pretty cool (no idea why it happens but it does happen in nature)
Additional bonus spider fact: There's a species of tarantula with a symbiotic relationship with frogs. The frogs in question are _smaller_ than the tarantulas and are essentially kept in the tarantula's den as a guard dog/mousing cat. The frogs eat the ants and other insects that can crawl into the tarantula's den and harm the tarantula, and the tarantula protects the frogs from the predators that would eat them. So if we lived in a world where tarantulas were the ones to evolve sapience instead of humans, the tarantula-people would have domesticated frogs, probably.
This game seems like the rightful succsessor of sim ants, the first ever made ant colony sim game known to man. Sim ants was made by the same company that made SimCity 2000 and other sim games, their name was Maxis if i remember correctly. About 30 years ago i played that game, and one nice thing was that you could have lots of colonies that take over a house where you had to drive the people out. And the neverending fight against the red ants...(at least untill you killed all red colonies) Good memories!
If you live in the UK, which I imagine you do, the red ant that stung you is Myrmica Rubra, or the European fire ant, which are considered to have a more potent sting than fire ants, so there you go.
I got that same legendary scorpion king last night. I started playing myself. The first player base I tried to raid.... fucker had 4 boss monsters. The scorpion, a spider, another spider, and then a praying mantis. I was livid. Because it mean's I lost. But the game is pretty fun surprisingly. I did so much in one day that my map was completely empty, including killing the red ant farm. And then The cake showed up. It was the same spot yours was. And I harvested the shit out of it, and did both of the special monsters. One was a blue scorpion and the other a normal one. I killed the normal one but took the blue one as a pet. Now I want to level him up but need 500 legs to upgrade one of the 3 stats.
Yeah player bases are hard. I lucked out and my first one only had one creature in the queen’s chamber so my scorpions massacred them. But I’ve seen DF throwing his army away on player bases.
Hello RCE I just wanna say that I've been watching your vids since... I'm not really sure but I was here before the 69420 subs special and I remember I even saw the 1k subs special like a month after it was released. Anyway I love your vids bro and you probably already know but I also wanted to say that i watch your vids because of your personality (on yt) and not because of the games you play or anything else, you're my 2nd favorite UA-camr (sorry for not having the 1st space for ya)
Empires of the Undergrowth is another really cool ant RTS game where you can play as different ant species each with special abilities plus it's very educational.
Pov:- Legendary emperor Scorpion :- Architects Powerful ants :- Engineers . We all know this is gonna end .....ants will take revenge. It's quite noteworthy to see this is one of them few games Played by Rce in which there's no **"strongest shape"** mentions or structures 😅🤣
Honeydew is aphid poop. The aphids offer it to the ants in exchange for protection. Ants farm fungus. The only male ants are called drones and they can fly. So can the queen before she is mated with a drone and cuts off her own wings kills the drone and gets to work. So yes it seems the developers might have looked at the ant wiki when designing this game.
RCE if you are looking for a fun yet challenging game I would recommend Captain Of Industry 🏭 as it can be stressful at times and I know that’s what we want to see. Thanks
7:31 ants sting they bite to get a grip to use their bodies like a scorpion tail I know it's better to say bite but take it from a former Florida man fire ants are no joke
You should invade the red ant colony instead of going to where they are getting the leaf. If you invade the red ant colony and kill the queen ant, the whole colony will disappear
Yea… rce when I was nine I was shirtless outside playing with my friends and I fell down on a massive fire ant nest and every part of my body ached when it moved😂
I’ve been playing the game for a bit and some advice I have is killing all the ants in the red colony except the queen which will then make it so they can’t attack you and every time you go back it will remain one ant
Ants have domesticated aphids and use them as livestock. Aphid eats stems and poos out sugary beverages for them. Besides humans ants are the only other known animal to have domesticated a different species
Gotta love how RCE joined his own fan club

Pretty sure that’s legit. With fungus and aphids, they invented farming
Pretty much my understanding too. Aphids are to ants what cows are to us.
You are correct. Ants keep aphids as cattle.
They'll not often move aphids unless the plant's dying
Else that's all correct
Also interesting: The ants stroke the aphids with their antennae, though it's not sure, it's thought that this provokes the aphids to excrete more honeydew
@@Natural_Power If a velociraptor was stroking me I'd produce more honeydew too...
Some scorpions are actually electric blue under UV light, so it kinda makes sense for the scorpion to be blue
Most are I believe it has to do with the exo skeleton and uv light reflecting or going through it, if I'm correct
This series has been fantastic. Love seeing more of it. I did not even think you would be able to battle other players!

Came here from AC, 😄
Rce your literally one of the most underrated UA-camrs ever
The mixture of watching you and dangerously funny works so well idk why but it does
Tips: You can recruit more if some of the soldiers die
The scorpion is blue at night because scorpions have bioluminescence and will shine that color under a blacklight in the dark!
16:49 you save up the pink flower and then place it on top of them so it stuns them if you had to use it you can use the purple flowers to make your self invincible to attack them or command to attack them

Also both scorpions were the blue ones (emperor scorpions), it’s just that they’re blue by night and black by day.
6:29 actually they eat the aphids’ poop because it tastes sweet. They feed the aphids leaves and the aphids give them little nuggets of sweetness
i once got bitten by a colony of fire ants, it hurt a lot. now i have ant trauma

Hey, some info about the ants: The ants don't kill the aphids, they give them food to collect the precious product the aphid make: honey dew.
I must say that was the nicest number of ants. Very nice
Iirc, ants actually keep the aphids alive cause they help with cleaning the nest and produce honeydew for the ants to eat.
Whoever made the clan and claninfo is a legend. Best warcry ever
The scorpion is only blue at night because a fun fact I learned in Arizona, scorpions glow under black light.
Gotta admit, it was pretty awesome for my clan to be featured in his video
RCE you got me to download this game! I'm already with 110 ants, this is a very addictive game!
Hope our ants cross paths one of these days
In game, Emperor scorpions are actually really good, they're really fast, have a lot of health, and attack really fast.
Pov:-
Legendary emperor Scorpion :- Architects
Powerful ants :- Engineers .

It's quite noteworthy to see this is one of them few games Played by Rce in which there's no **"strongest shape"** mentions or structures 😅🤣
Finally! A game i Can play while RCE is playing. Too bad the clan is full. Please let me in.
My dad went on a trip a few years back and stepped in a fire ant hill and we he came back his whole foot and leg was covered in bites.
LMAO

Why is it every time I hear your voice and see a circle (ant mound) - I think to myself: "How is he going to turn that into a testicle?"
You should invade the red ant colony instead of going to where they are getting the leaf. If you invade the red ant colony and kill the queen ant, the whole colony will disappear

I was camping last night very near to a gigantic ants nest lol, thankfully they left me alone!
Was also enjoying this game in the tent xD
The clan is still only ten members max. Sad. Love the game and the content. Was excited to find a UA-camr who plays it
Veritasium did a video on scorpions being blue, they fluoresce in a blue light, which is visible at night time if you shine UV light on them.
I think you'd come up with some pretty funny solutions in Opus Magnum. Love to see you play and how you handle the puzzles.
That would be quite the challenge for him!!

Just some information mat some species of ants use aphids as live stock keeping them as pets and harvesting there secretions
Fun fact about finnish language: Fire ant is kusiainen that translates to piss ant
Honestly one of my favorite games youve played
They farm the aphids, Matty. Just like Bio-Architect does.
"Theyre eating everything ... in the arse ... in the face..." 😂😂
Ants have domesticated aphids and use them as livestock. Aphid eats stems and poos out sugary beverages for them. Besides humans ants are the only other known animal to have domesticated a different species
Oooh this reminds me of SimAnts so much!
A game made by Maxis
I belive ants actually farm the bypass of aphids like milk from a cow.
RCE, have you thought about p playing Subnautica, you get to engineer deep sea bases, build submarines, and craft cool technology
I downloaded this game after watching your other 2 videos and I totally get the addiction 🤣
Aphids are also called ant cow.
I didn’t imagine I was going to like this game
6:45 But... that's the same strongest shape you always build in other games...
I was wondering if RCE was going to call them brothers forever. Apparently not.
It’s been two months since the last timberborners episode plz bring it back
Pls continue this series
Im pretty sure you can help your bros when fighting enemies
I wonder how many architects there watching RCE
Scorpions glow under black light
Ah, did some ant research I see. Interesting
RCE make a clan! I would love to join
The Brit wins all battles knowing his queen is immortal>:)
Friend you where stung by a fire ant that's where the venom is. The bite is more to hold on so they can sting you over and over
I like how this game became clash of clans out of nowhere
I like this lets play. want to see ,ore of this one. thank you RCE
You should play empire undergrowth which is basically the same game but better
Oh, you have an emperor scorpion? I have 2
This is so fun to watch keep it up
Some ants actually sting instead of biting
Bro which one you try next😅
I also will be a part of it🤗🤗🤗
Love your videos and all the engineers!
I just realized that they missed the chance to name it the antiversary event
Fire ants are nasty little bugs. If you really want a shudder, Google what they do in a flood.
Loved watching this game
I'm at a point where it cost 600-800 food if I die.
You can use the insects only in batles
Rcr create a group. Imagine Great ants coalition
I read Gwagon as Gwagon instead of G-Wagon (15:35)
Save resin and buy the health foe the Venus fly trap and you will get it.

15:33 YES
Hmm... Ever thought about playing a Pokemon game on the channel?
If you like this game i'm sure you'll like "Empire of the undergrowth", it's about the same game, but a little more realistic :)
love this series bro!
You know you could've gotten two scorpions at that event?
fire ants hurt I angered a entire colony and was covered in ants
Fire ant stings aren't as bad as large European Red ants, fire ants are just more vicious and have larger numbers
