The game of nESt cOLLECTIVe is a strategy based game that i wrote myself.

Story: Your colony of fire ants has recieved via a battered and nearly dead scout news of a new colony, one surpassing your own strength. Ants, being the teritorial type, will no dobut in time find your colony and distroy it. Your colony's only hope is to build up enough of a force to stem the tide of Red Ants. Go, multiply quickly and rid the field of the scourge of the Enemy.

Tips:

Start by acumilating as much food as possible.
Pick your fights with Red Ants, gang up on them.
If an enemy does manage to kill one of your ants the Red will develop bloodlust and search out more of your ants. Your only choice is to kill it quickly.
The same applies if your ants kill an enemy they will go looking for more. This is not always desirable so select and Move them, (ie RightClick them) this will stem their bloodlust.
Pick locations of new AntHills far between each other.
