General Gameplay Tips
Ants is a fun game, but in order for it to be fun you need to know everything about it!
- First of all, when one of your ants gets hurt, you can heal
it by sending it to your ant hill.
- Combants deal 2 damage, so watch out!
- When your ants get hit into the water, they die! Nope, no
Swimming Ants except for the Diver.
- To morph an ant, select your ant and tell him to go right on
top of the powerup. This will change him and give him a special ability.
- Fires can be put out by other Fireants, and Bombs can be
diffused by other Bombants.
- To ally up in a game, select another ant hill, and on the
right side of the screen, press the button that says "Team Up!"
- When teamed up, the chat that you send will only be sent to
your allies. To send messages to everyone, press the "All" button when sending a
message.
- The Function Keys on the far right (F9, F10, F11, F12) send
pre-defined messages to everyone in the game. To determine what these messages say, go to
the Options menu while playing a game of ants.
- Ants has shortcut keys. Here is a list of them:
Ctrl L - Shows Life Meter On Your Ant
Ctrl Q - Opens Quit Dialog Box
Ctrl N - Selects next ant
Ctrl P - Selects previous ant
Ctrl H - Selects Ant Hill
Ctrl A - Selects ALL Ants
- To use a special powerup, you can either click on the
powerup button on the right, or right click where you want to use it.
- On one on one games, you aren't allowed to team.
- It is impossible to team with 2 other players. A box that
says "Are you sure you want to break the team?" will pop-up.
- If an ant is carrying food, and he dies, a breifcase of his
food will be left behind. Be sure to pick it up!
- If you steal from an enemy ant hill, the enemy loses 50
points and if your Thief returns home, you gain 50 points.
- To hatch an ant, click on your hill then click
"Hatch!". Keep in mind it takes 200 points to hatch a new ant!
