If you live in California or some other states you probably dislike Argentine ants. First, because in CA there's a HUGE COLONY THAT GOES FROM SANDIEGO TO SAN FRANCISCO!!! Second, because of that HUGE colony, it's hard to find other ants species because of the competition they bring. Third, they have dozens maybe hundreds of queens at a nest. That means they repopulate really really fast. So I think they would be an interesting species in the game. You first encounter them on the surface when it's just there queens trying to find a nest. They are attacked by ants and bugs alike, they make swift sprints and then stop. (That's when to get them) They're also a good early source of food because you can easily pick them off, and they give fair chunks of food.
Later some queens survive and form colonies, these colonies become bigger and soon your workers can't deal with so much cannon fodder. You need stronger ants and when you get stronger ants, say driver or fire antsthats just an example, don't ask me about balancing in a beta I've never played, that will tear through the Argentine ants! After being decimated the survivors will have to evolve rapidly because they have been beaten for generations, and they are some of the last Argentine colonies on the island. Later in the game, you will see that the Argentine ants have hybrid ants. You will know how when you invade the nests and see that they have captured queens and are forcing them to make males to mate with the Argentine queens! Also, they have male scouts that fly around and report back to their respected colony, even reporting your ant's position. It's up to the player to find out how to get rid of these ants from hell.
