NPC: ants

[Shoob]

ants... 'nuff said.

ants in:
- giant white ant
- giant brown ant
- giant carpenter ant
- giant blue ant
- giant green ant
- giant yellow ant
- giant red ant
- giant black ant
- giant fire ant
- giant lightning ant
- giant acid ant
- giant ice ant
- giant army ant

not in yet:
- giant poisonous ant?

if you notice there are not worker or soldier or queen ants yet... I plan on these being egos (with a 40/59/1% distribution) and ants will always be ego typed (ego will be a suffix). workers wont really have any change... soldiers will have another +1 damage and 10 health, queens will have another 50-100 health, +2 life_rating and able to summon kin 1 in 5 (ish, probably a tad high).

hmmm... should I be mean(er) with the ice ant and make its return attack also be ICE instead of COLD

[darkgod]

Yes !

[Shoob]

ok... I thought I would warn you with this one... there are several ants that have elemental sheaths... so you cant just do a find and replace all.

the above is fixed though.
