* Lunch Time

  At the beginning of each turn, the ants will each consume their
  food. Drones eat nothing. Workers, soldiers, and guardians each
  eat one parcel of food per turn. Queens eat two parcels of food
  per turn.

  Food is Extremely important during the game. Your ants simply
  cannot survive without food. When food supplies run low,
  expect starvation.

  Food can be claimed in two ways. The easiest way is simply to
  claim it from the ground. Humans keep dropping their food
  stuffs all over the place, all an ant has to do is go out and
  get it. Each morsel of food is worth a certain amount of food
  in parcels. A table of these parcels is given below.

  Morsel      Parcels
  Candy Cane  10
  Corn Chip   25
  Pizza Slice 50
  Steak       100

  The second, more difficult way is to cannibalize the enemy
  forces. Each slain ant adds one parcel to the food stocks.
  Slain queens provide five parcels.

  * Spawning

  During spawning, the queen ants will produce new ants. One
  parcel of food is consumed for each new ant produced.

  Ant types are produced at random, with the majority of ants
  being produced as drones. An ant will only be produced if there
  is an empty area around the queen.

  * Starvation

  Ants eat a lot, and if they don't have their daily meals, they
  will die. If a food supply is exhausted, there is a random
  chance that each ant will die.

  Drones will not die as a result of starvation. Queens are quite
  resistant to the effects of starving. The workers and combat
  ants, however, will be dying in droves. Successful bug-warfare
  requires a great deal of food for prolonged fighting.
