Rival colonies in Broodgarden used to just fight. Now they trade, buy off stronger neighbours, and once they've researched it, try to stir up discord in your own nest. Break a weaker one and a sharp rival takes it as a vassal instead of crushing it. #indiedev

"A bird swooped and snatched a forager!" Broodgarden tells you what happened to your ants, not what your statistics did. One ant, named, gone — and the line that says so is the same width as the one about the nest getting filthy. #indiedev #strategy

Tough choice. Lava is more dramatic but ice is more insidious. Either can creep in and kill you. Probably ice as making heat comes as a byproduct of industry so it begs the player for growth and development.

Yes. Every new mouth needs feeding but efficiency boosts from upgrades, research, spells and moots (government decisions) means you have more food left over for other production such as luxuries with much better export value.

That post is out of date, sorry. Turning the emulation off froze Godot's dropdowns on phones, so it went back on. It's still the one mouse path, fed by the finger. And we don't tell a tap from a drag yet: a press acts where it lands. You've found a real gap.
