[wip] Giant Ant colony

Madcat

An example of a giant ant colony for a mini-project.

CC3, and photshop as I had to render a few different versions of the map to get everything displaying properly.

Nice work. I will surely see how this progress.

TBH, the only thing I really want to do is something about the big empty chamber. Might doodle in a party of adventurers.

from the movie 'Them !' ?

Not seen that; I started writing some extra fluff for Giants Ants for D&D and somehow ended up with a mini-supplement's worth of words.

Great map.

Also, TCM (Turner Classic Movies) is showing Them! on June 18th of this month. Check local listing for time ,and remember the TCM online listing may not list the correct air time by default for your location. They have a couple of other sci fi insect themed movies showing before and after it too on that day.

If you ant some more info on Them! see this link. TCM has clips and the theatrical trailer for it online.

The party is going to need a big water hose.

Great map of the ant colony, but remember ants build there chambers not to be easily flooded, by rain water etc. I know this is just for D@D so it does not have to be real world accurate but ants are amazing creatures and their homes are works of art in the sense of construction. They use the same theory as the goose neck in a sink to keep water out of the lower chambers.
but my main comment is great work!!!

Madcat

Yeah, I was thinking that they should have some anti flood construction going on; I'll probably revise the map at some point to take that into consideration.

Or the tunnels drain down into the Under Dark and flow into a giant lake down below.
