Colony Action

**Colony Action** events take place every hour starting at 5 minutes past the hour. There are eight events every day on a fixed weekly schedule, and each event occurs three times that day on an 8 hour rotation. Each event has specific tasks of varying point value to complete in order to earn rewards. It should be noted that although there are only 5 unique titles to the Colony Action events, each title can refer to several variations of that event. There are three main reward thresholds for each event which all differ based on the Queen's level and the event itself. Besides the three main rewards, all players can compete to reach the top 10 spots each hour to earn additional rewards.

## Event Calendar

* Monday
* Tuesday
* Wednesday
* Thursday
* Friday
* Saturday
* Sunday

## Ranked Rewards

Although the three reward thresholds for each event differ, the bonus rewards for reaching the top 10 of all players at your current level are the same for each event and level.

## Reward requirement tiers

There are four types of colony action reward thresholds: cheap, normal, expensive, and expensive II. The points required vary by queen level. For the normal tier it looks like:

 22
 23
 24
 25

## Reward tiers

The diamond value of each CA only varies by queen level. So if it takes 5.20M points or 16.30M points to get to the third shell, the reward values are the same either way.

Gifts

## Alliance Gifts

Gifts are given to all members of an alliance when certain criteria are met, and fall into two basic categories: Normal Gifts and Rare Gifts.

### Normal Gifts

When members of an alliance successfully kill wild creatures (usually lizards or event-specific creatures) with rallies, all members of the alliance receive a Normal Gift. The type, rarity, and star level of the gift depends on the level and type of creature defeated. Regardless of type and rarity, all Normal Gifts have a chance of giving one 5.0K Honeydew item, four 500 Honeydew items, or one 5m Speedup. In general, higher rarity and event gifts are more likely to give speedups and less likely to give honeydew. Approximately 80% of honeydew is one 5.0K Honeydew item, and the remaining 20% is four 500 Honeydew items.

### Rare Gifts

When any member of an alliance purchases a pack (with real money), all members of the alliance receive a Rare Gift. The type of gift depends on the category of item purchased, and the rarity and star level of the gift depends on the cost of the gift. All Rare Gifts give an amount of Alliance Contribution and an identical amount of Alliance Points, as well as items, usually resources. Higher rarity gifts give more Contribution and Points, have a higher chance of giving rare items, and if they give resources, give more resources. The type of gift (Building Gift, Evolution Gift, Special Ant Gift, etc.) has no influence on the contents.

While the vast majority of gifts will match their associated price, occasionally gifts will be higher or lower than their price would indicate. The Pack Store will show what gift will be given to the alliance when the pack is purchased.

#### Gift for Newbie

While most Rare Gifts give a single type of item that is randomly selected, the Gift for Newbie always contains exactly the same items. Gifts for Newbie come from gifts that cost $0.99 USD and contain the following:

* 2500 Alliance Contribution
* 2500 Alliance Points
* 52 1.0K Meat items
* 26 1.0K Plant items
* 13 1m Speedups

#### Other Rare Gifts

Other rare gifts will contain only a single item type. They have an even chance of getting 10.0K Plant, 10.0K Meat, 6.4K Wet Soil, or 4.8K Sand items, and a smaller chance of getting other items, including honeydew, speedups, or diamonds.
Special Ant Dispatch

## Opening Condition

The Dispatch Task will be opened simultaneously with the special ant evolution function

## Dispatch Rules

1. Dispatch Task Quality/Conditions: Task quality is divided into 4 grades: green, blue, purple, and orange. The higher the quality, the better the rewards. The dispatch conditions are different for different qualities.
2. Dispatch task rewards are divided into basic rewards and extra rewards:
	* Basic rewards: If you only meet the basic number of special ants to dispatch and complete the task, you will receive basic rewards.
	* Extra rewards: If you meet the extra conditions of number and quality of sapcial ants and complete the task, you can get extra rewards.
3. Mutation Petal can be used to add additional dispatch tasks.
4. Only combat special ants can be dispatched.
5. The dispatched special ants cannot be used for other dispatching tasks.
6. The dispatch task can be manually ended in advance, the dispatch task remains unchanged but no reward will be obtained.
7. Each special ant can only be dispatched once a week.
8. New tasks will be added automatically after dispatch tasks are completed and the rewards are claimed. There is a weekly upper limit for dispatching, and upgrading buildings can increase it.

## Alliance Assistance Rules

1. Assistance Special Ants can be used by multiple alliance members to dispatch at the same time, and there is no limit on the number of people.
2. Each ruler can give at most one special ant to all alliance members for dispatching. 3. After confirmation of the assistance, the special ant as assistance can be replaced; the replacement does not affect the alliance members that have used the ant for dispatching tasks.
3. The special ant can still be used to carry out its own dispatch tasks without being affected even if it is used as assistance by others.
4. Each ruler can borrow at most one special ant from alliance members for dispatching every week.
5. After the assistance special ant is decomposed/star-reverted, it will be automatically removed from the ruler's assistance list, and will no longer be displayed in the alliance assistance list. The assistance special ant dispatched already will not be affected.
6. After leaving the alliance, the assistance special ants will be removed from the list, and it will no longer be displayed on the alliance assistance list. The assistance special ant dispatched already will not be affected.

## Dispatch Task Refresh Rules

1. The dispatch task is refreshed every week. After the refresh, the pending dispatch task will be randomly replaced with other dispatch tasks. If last week's dispatch task is still in progress or the reward has not been claimed, the task of this week will not be refreshed until the reward is claimed.

Atratus Glider

### Story

Cephalotes atratus, found in almost all of central and northern South America, is one of the largest and most common ant species among Cephalotini in terms of their body size. Besides, they also have the highest number of hives.

Their body length could reach 12-14mm. In a mature ant colony, there are thousands of ants. When they are out, they could even cover the entire trunk that they live in. What is rare among these ants is that they can directly feed on pollen.

Slim Arched

## Story

Scientific name: *[Camponotus mirabilis]*.

It is only found in parts of the northern South America, and is called the ghosts of the Amazon rain forests. Their heads are long and flat, and their bodies are huge, reaching more than 12mm. They nest in the local bamboo by drilling holes into the bamboo joints while the bamboo is still immature and the surface is not yet hard. As the bamboo grows, these holes form natural nesting chambers. They normally breed aphids in the bamboo joints to gather honeydew as their food, but will occasionally also prey on other insects.

Evolution Fungi

> "The spherical Fungi growing underground offer an unexpected evolution effect."
>
>

The **Evolution Fungi** is where rulers can expand and empower their colony through researching evolutionary traits, at a cost of resources and time. There are at least 16 evolutionary "trees", each focusing on a specific aspect of the colony, though not all trees will be accessible right away. Some traits may even require that a trait from a different tree be developed in order to develop it. Upgrading the Evolution Fungi increases its building power and, at certain levels, increases the speed of evolution.

This allows the Rapid Production percentage to increase. At default, the Rapid Production will only increase until it stops at default 75%. At max level, Stable Production will increase to 85%. This can be increased further per resource type with specific stationed Special Ants.
Pangolin

## Description

The Pangolin is a limited-time Rally Boss that appears during the "Trial of Valor" event. Like the Raving Groundhog, it requires no Stamina in order to fight it and it does not injure or kill any Soldier Ants a player sends to fight it.

## Placing the Pangolin

A Pangolin can only be placed by a player that is part of an Alliance, has a rank of R4 or higher, and is level 12(unconfirmed) or higher.

## Fighting the Pangolin

The Pangolin can be fought over a 3-day period, during which a player can choose to Invade and fight alone, or Rally and fight with other members of their Alliance. In addition, the Pangolin has a recommended Soldier Ant type that deals extra damage to it on each of the 3 days. Guardian Ants deal extra damage on the first day, with Shooter Ants being recommended on the second day followed by Carrier Ants on the third day. Paying attention to this enables players to deal more damage and earn more Pangolin Scales, the event tokens for the Trial of Valor event.

A Pangolin can only be fought by players at level 12 or higher and that are part of the Pangolin's summoner alliance.
Harvest Fircone

Riley Quinn

Riley is one of the hosts of the Trashfuture podcast, but also has published writing in Jacobin, Novara, and The New Socialist. Originally from Ontario, Canada, the microclimate of the Niagara Escarpment proved insufficient for the future podcaster and he decamped to the rich and bountiful land of England where, upon his birthday, he could reap the bounty of the sea as his reward. When he graduated from the University of Toronto in the early 2010s he was, in his own words, a business success guy. However, living in England changed him and his politics, mostly owing to how dumb and psychotic it is. He is also the author of the Lost Boys Trilogy, about a magical woodland.

American Psychosis: Examining the particular atmosphere and cultural impact of September 11th on the American psyche with co-host Andrew Law.

The Spitting Image: On October 4, 2021, Riley announced his collaboration with the beloved and very good "satire" program *The Spitting Image* with a quote tweet of his authored sketch - which depicts Labor figures Keir Starmer and Jess Phillips in a foolish and derisive manner. The tweet, which was obviously not a joke, was discovered shortly after by adroit online detectives who had been scandalized by the episode's use of naughty language or something. Quinn's name does not appear in the credits for the episode of *The Spitting Image* that featured the sketch, presumably due to an administrative oversight and not that Riley was making a joke.

## Description

The Jack Jumper is a Special Ant of Orange rarity with the Ranged and Universal traits. It can be obtained through hatching. A Wikipedia article about this species can be found here.

## Story

It is also known as Velvet Ant but more widely known as "Jack Jumper Ant". It's the scariest ant species on the Australian continent. They are very large and can reach 12-14 mm. They have venomous stings that contain a neurotoxin. Some have allergic reactions and their lives may be in danger when exposed to this neurotoxin. They mainly feed on small insects which they hunt by injecting venom, and they also gather honeydew.

* Main skills overview
* Awakening

## Trivia

The Jack Jumper has the same combination of traits as the Crimson Fragger, Bullet Ant, Golden Sugar, Long Jaw Giant, and Spiny Daemel.

The ant that appears on the Jack Jumper's "Jumping Attack" and "Body Advantage" skill icons is not a Jack Jumper, but the similar-looking Jumper Ant which has neither Skill. In a similar fashion, the ant appearing on the Jack Jumper's "Blitzkrieg" icon is the Dinosaur Ant, which is a Develop-type Special Ant that doesn't have this Skill.

The Jack Jumper is also one of the 17 Special Ants available as a free avatar.

The Jack Jumper belongs to the same genus (*Myrmecia*) as the Jumper Ant.
