Rework of the Aphid Farms

Inspired by the Thread New Freeplay Map this belongs half to that Thread and half to general Suggestions.

Now our Ants are able to climb up plants, maybe the aphid farms should be also on plants. That way Leaf Cutters and other Ants have a good reason to fight for a plant. The Leafcutters need the leafs, the other ants the honey drops.

Nice thought but unless we had a specific reason for doing so this is unlikely to happen. It'd involve adding extra animations for all ants you wanted to climb (which, presumably, would be all of them).

I would defiantly like ants climbing to aphids (this was originally the plan) but it would require some work. 2.2 wont change any more (as there is a huge amount of work in that mission) however you never know it could make it into freeplay one day.

Well not all ants are farming honeydew from aphits which is best shown by the leafcutters. They only eat the mushroom which they are growing and taking care off. But Ants like Messor Barbarus could be interested into the seeds of plants of you are ever planning to add this species. They aren't big fighters tho. They are mostly peaceful and only attack threats.
