It would be cool to set pheromone trails rather than markers, like maybe you can right click just to set a yellow marker that acts like the existing kind of rally point, or if you want to avoid dangers or obstacles using a specific path you could shift+right click to set a series of markers the ants will attempt to follow in order, like Y1, Y2, Y3 etc. The ants would follow all markers in order, and upon reaching the last Yellow marker placed would either return to nest if they havn't interacted with anything or return to the first marker depending on how you'd like the behavior to work.
This would be a little more realistic, and it would allow you to add more content, like having to navigate ants around dangers or some such. Like maybe mud or something your ants would get stuck in and die unless you set a path around the mud to objective.
