Anyway, there's this great scene at the start of it where the ant battallions charge at a termite nest, and a massive battle ensues...
Anyway, I was watching it, thinking "man, this would be great in Spring".
While I think it would need some sort of effective melee combat system, it wouldn't be realistic at all. The cool thing about Antz is that while it uses ants, they are basically humans on a small scale. So you could have pebble catapults, and give them little ranged weapons, etc.
You could either have different species sides, such as ants, termites, bees, spiders, etc, or just have two sides with various creatures (along ambiguous lines, as in, the reds and the blues, or more fun lines, such as the IN THE HOUSE side and the GARDEN side...)
Anyway, just my little idea. I wish I had the time and texturing skills to do it, because I know I could make it fun.
... And obviously you would have to make some really great maps where things are at a huge scale, so that a chair takes up half the map or something; but I was planning on making something like that for Spring anyway.
