My ants have probably outgrown the amount of ants Empires of the Undergrowth can display without crashing ;D
Using the pictures from the 24th I made a COUNT.
This is the nest. I gave every recognizable ant a blue dot, then divided the nest into small sectors and counted the ants in those sectors by giving them a purple dot.
These two outworld pictures were taking quickly after another so there shouldn't be too much fluctiation. The amount of ants in the water tube is an educated guess based on experience. In the end I counted 79 ants and rounded them up to 80 (as seen in the first picture).
This brings us to the final number of
visible ants.
Note that this count isn't their EXACT population - sometimes I had to make hard guesses when there were overlapping ants and obviously it does not include ants that were not visible, like ants hanging vertically on the backside of nest walls, ants in the connector between the two nests, ants in the water tube conenctor and the quite massive number of ants in the tubing from the nest to the outworld.
Those invisible ants included
I would estimate them to about 750-800 ants in total.
And just as a reminder... they were 4 workers in March.
