Hi all,
it would be pretty neat to have a "forage" group that will work mostly autonomous like the "nest" group does. The forage group should be for the outside world and look for food on their own, marking it and forming ant trails. They could also mark enemies or avoid rival colony pheromones when foraging.
When playing 2.2 the amount of micro-management of having a dedicated forage group that needs manual command lest they all drown was unnecessarily high. Of course when all those tasks are done manually, that should be more efficient (=rewarding) - but having the possibility to have ants auto-search for food and show some typical behavior would sure make for an even more organic feel of the game
