Special Controls
If you're a Nomadic Ant, (meaning you haven't picked your team yet) then select; 'Character' then pick between Fire Ants, Carpenter Ants, and Yellow Crazy Ants. All ants are different in stats, the main difference being Size and Hit-points. Then choose what type of ant you want to be. (queen is usually taken). However, before you pick your character, look the the numbers under the factions. The number on the Left side is the worker count. Middle, queen, and Right is soldier. With this in mind, you click on your faction. Then do you'll see under each ant class, there is an egg icon followed by a number. (this does not apply for queen ants.) Pick the class with a number greater than.. well, zero of course! Now you've picked your role, go and select the tab; 'Play' then look to the left side of your screen. This shows your class's job role in the colony. And finally, click 'Spawn'.

But sometimes this will fail, and a message may say; "Error. There are no eggs available for this class." meaning you have to wait until the current queen of the preferred faction lays an egg for your class (not applying for you trying to spawn as a queen) or, "Error. There are no available slots for this class." This usually appears when you have chosen queen, but there already is a queen. All you have to do is re-pick.

If you're a queen, then press the prompt reading; 'Colony'. Select a type, currently 'Worker' 'Soldier' 'Drone' however the drone command does not work, possibly due to the mass amounts of scripting required to function a (possible) mating system.

Cool-down for Worker Egg: 5 seconds.

Cool-down for Soldier Egg: 15 seconds.

Cool-down for Drone Egg: N/A.
