Hello there! I've been hacking at it the whole weekend and here's a quick update with a new feature: Pheromones.

Basically so you understand it, it's Civilization's culture with a twist. Ants use pheromones for a variety of things and their nests usually have a smell.  Here it's a resource that for now is produced by certain buildings (Like the queen chamber) and is used by others. It will expand as you build your nest.

For me it's the perfect way of representing colonies ownership of tiles, which is something I need for the next update I have planned (Which involves being able to select tiles and see information) and for you it's an opportunity to customize your nest.

It's the first step towards customization and roleplaying which for me it's a big deal when playing any strategy game. Something I have in mind regarding this is the ability to name your colonies. You can expect tiny features like this being added in the future!

I've also done a bit of bugfixing, check the changelog:
