Why the fuck there's not a serious videogame about the global ant war?

Every day trillions of quadrillions of billions of ant soldiers and ant civilians die in the continent and entire countries wide trenches between the big argentinian global empire and multiple country side local giant colonies of smaller super powers challenging the argentinian global empire.

There's also thousands of smaller ant entire nations as well engaging in the global ant war.
There's literal ant species who have a wide range of ant soldiers who are literally biological weapons to fight the other ant armies.

Some ants have developed chemical artillery, as well as others have developed some kind of long range jumps skills, as well as multiple species being literal gigantic heads that work as fucking armored tanks to kill the enemy soldier ants, and they can't even feed themselves but need worker ants to feed.
There's others who have evolved to literally explode and do shit like suicide vest attacks on enemy front lines.
Others have evolved units that sacrifice themselves to block the entrance to give enough time for the workers to save as many ant babies they can carry.
Others have evolved literally spies to infest the enemy collony to gain protection, live as parasites or just steal resources.
They also have evolved scout units as well.
Some ants just evolve to have slave ant colonies and keep them as slaves.
Literally living in warharmmer 40k.

RTS is a dead genre, and as cool as ants are, unit readability will suffer because most ants look the same to humans' untrained eyes.

i fucking hate ants. growing up i would randomly spray pesticide over their nest and killed millions of them. im pretty sure if ants had our intelligence they would try to genocide and enslave us. evil looking sons of ant bitches

Ants are so hardcore. How can I learn more about the great ant wars?

is it any good?
>>
>>733635768
It's boring.
If you make a game about it you've either made a game similar to Mount and Blade or Total War. Why would you waste your framework on ants? You're just choosing to lose money at that point.

ant war game where you get sexual favors from the queen for doing a good job

SimAnt is where the ant genre peaked
>>
>>733635768
Because ants are less interesting than people in every way

Queens don't fuck worker ants they literally only fuck flying Chad ants that were created for the specific purpose of breeding. Ants are a black pill

Because ants fight war like a game of Risk where they just throw numbers at each other and one with bigger numbers or stats usually wins. The game would get tiresome real fast, unless you go the way of Army Men RTS where the ants salvage human items and use them to make their own tanks and weapons.

I would envision it like a pvp factorium with industrial throughput and evolutionary adaptability would be the key features.

never ceases to scare the living shit out of me and glad I live where ants are much milder

stopped reading after the third "literal"
>>
>>733647676
Why would it scare you
Ants are numerous because we tolerate them. If they became a problem we would wipe them out in a matter of days.
>>
>>733647597
maybe the poster knows but they are either sizing each other up at the edge of each other's territory which may turn into a battle or their trails run right by each other there and they are just being defensive
>>
>implying humans would stand a chance in a full on ant vs human war
>>
>>733647726
because if I were in African in siafu's range then I would have to deal with them raiding my home sometimes yet depend on them for killing pests trying to eat my crops

and siafu come at night
>>
>>733647453
Remake? Huh
>>
>>733647832
But they can't declare war. They can barely even communicate, let alone co-operate with another hive. Tired of this Reddit shit where we act like animals don't survive at our whim. We could literally reduce this planet to dust
>>
>>733649236
we would die out from such and there'd be some ant nest vibing somewhere that would survive
>>
>>733649460
Fuck you. I will shit on your hive entrance and rape your ant queen before you even claim a single human life. Ant bitch
