@futurebird maybe Will Wright also had this idea but went on to make Sim Ant instead.

@futurebird NOPEant "queen" is the most valued protected piece whos death is the death of th game so she is the King piece!maybe alate "queen" can be chess Queen, most mobilerook bishop knights can be workers of various castes or stagesrooks can be the workers that tend the colony queen (cuz castling!)alate males r pawns! expendable!

@futurebird I'd argue that the chess king should be the de-alate ant queen, the chess queen the alate ant queen, and the rooks the alate males.
