But, then I learned from the Turtol game. After that, I was pretty good at the game. But, even the Turtol game confused me alot. So I figured, I should try to make it clear to people, about all the stuff in the game. I will try to add as much things, as possible. I will try to give you the best stragities, I can give you. If you have any questions about the game, that I didn't answer in this FAQ, please e-mail me at Sknot74261700027@aol.com. Thank you. --------- |2.0 ANTS | --------- By the name of the game, "SimAnt" their is obviously something about ants in the game. And the ants are the game. The diffrent types of ants, each have a special tribute, to the colony. You are the Black Colony and are against the Red Colony. So here is the Ant section of this FAQ. Enjoy. --------------- |2.1 YELLOW ANT | --------------- In the game you are the Yellow Ant. You begin the game as this ant. This ant will lay the first egg of the game. You can change the ant once more eggs are laid. But, the Yellow Ant, represents the ant that you are at the current time. You can change the ant, by left-clicking it and holding it down, until options come up, and then clicking "Exchange." Then click on another ant. You can even be the queen. But, then, if you get killed, your ants, may not have a queen, and that means, Game Over. ---------------- |2.2 BLACK QUEEN | ---------------- Once the orignial Yellow Ant(the first Black Ant of the game/the ant you begin as), lays an egg, the Black Queen will come out. Once she comes out of the egg, you must find her food. But, make sure, your fast, because she dies without food, very quickly(believe me, I know). The queen will lay eggs for the Black Colony. But, she can't lay alot of eggs, unless she has some one to mate with. So set the 'B' Triangle, so that, at least 10% to 15% of the ants are Drones. Drones mate with the ants. But, make sure she is protected from Red Ants all the time. Before you go to raid the Red Ant hole, make sure you have blocked off the area around the hole with rocks and you have left some ants back to protect her, incase of an invasion. ------------------ |2.3 BLACK WORKERS | ------------------ These are mostly what the queen breeds. They will gather food for the queen. They can also follow you in a fight or defense against the Red Colony. Their isn't really much, to say about this type of ants, but, I will try to add more about them, in the future. -------------- |2.4 RED QUEEN | -------------- This is the ant you must kill to get rid of the Red Ants. One of your main objectives in the game, is to kill the Red Ant's queen. You must first defeat the Red Ant army, then go in the Red Ant's anthole, and kill the queen. Sometimes, if you kill a queen, another one will grow. So, you must kill that queen, too. Once all of their Queens are dead, you can try to take over the house. ---------------- |2.5 RED WORKERS | ---------------- These are the ants that you will fight. They carry food to the Red Queen and defend her. They are like the same thing as the Black Workers except the work for the Red Queen and not the Black Queen. ------------- |2.6 SOLDIERS | ------------- Soldiers are the best fighter ants. They work great when attack the Red Colonies anthole. When the Red Workers are delevering food back and forth to the Red Queen, your soldiers, will attack them, and they will be almost, defenseless. But, the fight get's harder, when and if the Red Soldiers, come out and fight. You should go into the fight as a soldier because if you go into the fight as a Worker, you can be easily killed by a Red soldier. ----------- |2.7 DRONES | ----------- The drones, are speciffically born to mate with the queen ant. All they can do is mate with the queen. It helps because they help bring up the population alot, other than the queen laying two eggs at a time, she can lay alot more. --------------- |3.0 OTHER BUGS | --------------- In SimAnt, their are other bugs, besides ants. Most of them want to eat you, but others just walk around. Be careful, because I can't remember how many times, I've been eaten by a bug, before I could lay the queen egg. And when that happens, it's Game Over! ---------------- |3.1 CATERPILLAR | ---------------- The caterpillar doesn't really do anything, but wander around and look for food. You don't have to worry about it, because all the encounters I've had with it, it never killed me or tried to fight me, or anything vicious like that. So what I'm saying is, you don't have to worry about this bug. ----------- |3.2 SPIDER | ----------- Now, these are the bugs, you gotta look out for. And I mean, really look out for. This guy, can either poison you, or eat you. So their are already two ways he can kill you. But, the good thing is, you can be the Spider. You can become the Spider, by left-clicking on your Yellow Ant and holding it, until options come up. When the options come up, select "Exchange" and you will become the spider. You can use this techinque, just for fun, or to move the spider away from your ants, if you fell it is going to attack you. The spider, also likes to think highly of himslef. He'll say stuff like, "I am so cool," or "Which ants taste better, Black or Red," and other things. ------------- |3.3 ANT LION | ------------- These things look like the rolley bugs we see in real life. But, in the game, they mostly, hide in holes. They can kill you, too. You should keep away from them, but you can always attempt to fight them. They will probally win, but I've won, once or twice with them. ----------------- |4.0 OTHER THINGS | ----------------- Bugs aren't the only things in the game. No, sir. Their are Humans and Lawnmowers, and they are very dangerous. They are very deadly. Be careful of them, when your in the house or the yard. You should be careful because they can easily wipe you out, in one handful. ---------- |4.1 HUMAN | ---------- The humans aren't as bad as the lawnmower, but they still do big time damage. They are the worst enemy in the house. They can take out about 200 ants at a time, if he uses the spray. Watch out for them, because they can be pretty dangerous. They can also step on you, when your trying to get into the house. The humans only go after you(at least that only what I see). So your gonna have to manage with two major enemies inside the house. -------------- |4.2 LAWNMOWER | -------------- The lawnmower is the worst enemy in the game. They can swipe out a whole ant army, in one blow. Be careful, and avoid them anyway possible. They can really mess up your game. The only advice I have for you, is get away from them, by moving away from them, and going underground. I haven't really been inside a house or in the yard, too much, yet. ----------- |5.0 BASICS | ----------- The basics of the game are the things that you must know how to do in order to play the game the right way. Their pretty easy to learn. ------------ |5.1 DIGGING | ------------ Digging a hole, is the first step to starting a colony. To dig a hole, you must, first be on the surface. When your one the surface, double-click an area, in the dirt, with no food or rocks, and you will begin digging the hole. When inside, dig tunnels, by double-clicking, the black dirt, in the direction you want to dig in. Build a place, where the queen can be safe from Red Ants, and a place to keep food. And when you get a little better, you can even build a place to keep larva. When, going to attack the Red Ant Colony, make sure, you barracade, the hole off, with rocks. Pick up small rocks, by double-clicking them, then double-click the area, that you want to place it in. ----------------- |5.2 GETTING FOOD | ----------------- Getting food is easy. You get food, by going up to the green stuff on the surface. You can only pick it up, if you have an anthole. Otherwise, you will just eat it yourself. To eat it or pick it up double-click it and then, if your hungry, you will eat it yourself, but if your not hungry you will pick it up, and when you pick it up, bring it into your anthole, and put it in a spot to keep your food, and put all your food their. If the other ants are bringing food to a diffrent spot, you can change, your spot to theirs. It doesn't matter, where it is, as long as the food isin't scattered all over the anthole. ------------------------- |5.3 DEFENSE ON AN ATTACK | ------------------------- When the Red Ants attack your colony you must be ready with soldiers and workers. Send them out as soon as you see them attacking. Protect the Queen Black Ant, if she isn't in the anthole for some reason. Make sure your a soldier ant when you go into the attack. To get ants to follow you press 2, several times, on the keyboard. -------------------------------- |5.4 ATTACKING ON THE RED COLONY | -------------------------------- When you want to attack the Red Colony, press 2 about six or so times, to get all the other ants to follow you. Go in as a soldier and fight, whatever gets in your way. Your main goal, when rading the Red Colony is to kill the Red Queen. You should lead the attack into kill the Red Queen, yourself. The ants listen better, if you command them. --------------------------- |6.0 GETTING INTO THE HOUSE | --------------------------- Once you've defeated the Red Ant Colony in the dirt, you then must defeat them inside the house. To get into the house. Move across the yard, making several Black Ant Colonies as you go. Watch out for the Human and the Lawnmower. They can really mess you up, so be very, very careful. Then enter the house, when you get to that point. --------------------- |6.1 INSIDE THE HOUSE | --------------------- When your inside the house, you must first, find the Red Ant Colony, anthole. Not, too hard, look at the map. But, getting their you must be very careful, of Humans, and other house insects. -------------------------- |6.2 TAKING OVER THE HOUSE | -------------------------- To take over the house, you must scare out the Humans and kill the Red Ant queen. So once, you found the Red anthole, you should have scared, the humans out, so all you have to worry about, is the Red Ants. Lead them into combat, and defeat them. When you defeat them you beat the game. But, after reading this FAQ/Walkthrough you might think the game is easy. Trust me, it's not. ---------- |7.0 CODES | ---------- Like most Sim games, SimAnt has codes. The codes I am giving you are for the PC. Pause the game and enter these codes.

A:Nothing at all. Q:Can I be the Caterpillar? A:I've never tried, because I never needed to. Q:Can I be the Ant Lion? A:I never tried that, either. --------- |9.0 TIPS | --------- *Go into a fight as a soldier. You fight better and stronger. *Lead soldiers and workers into a fight. Soldiers work better. *Block off the entrance to your hole when going to attack the Red Ants. *When attack Red Ants, leave some soldiers and workers behind, in case, they try to attack your colony when, you gone(this happened to me, once before). ------------ |10.0 THANKS | ------------ I want to Thank: GameFAQs for publishing this guide and having a great site, GameSages for having the best code site, GameWinners for having a great code site, Maxis for making the game, and You for reading this and not copying this. -------------- |11.0 COPYRITE | -------------- (c) This guide is copyrite Anthony Vexer 2001 (c) This guide is copyrite Anthony Vexer 2001 Thank you.
