Considering that TO was already able to make words when it encountered the rescuers, I guess that with the ENs it will reach level of a teenager/young adult.

Round 13 - 6:00, April 28th, 2000
Round Prologue
As another sunrise occurs, the informed insect-experts are slowly preparing for their trip into the reserva, whilist TO is in another location…
The Organism
TO’s exoskeleton is now harder than before, offering more protection (+50 MH). The ant-humanoid is now also capable of shifting weight in it’s body, which might be helpful in certain situations (+25 MH, +25 S).
TO’s vocal cords have experienced large-scale cell die-off, causing some damage to TO (-25 H). On a brighter note, mutation commanding has been successfully developed, allowing the giant ant to command it’s children to develop specific features (+32 MH, +32 S). TO’s camouflage has also been improved, now being a lot better at deceiving humans that no danger is present (+50 MH). TO also developed a new caste - scout ants, which are capable of quickly transmitting data from a large distance (+25 MH, +25 S, @MisterMustachio please submit a minor mutation related to scout ants). The Brain has also got a new development, that being the evolution of “Evolving Neurons” which are capable of shifting connections and behaviours, making TO’s brain more adaptable to changes (+25 MH, +25 ME). TO’s poison stinger too got upgraded, making it a lot more useful in combat (+50 S). TO also developed a weak chemical which can confuse enemies (+25 S). Most importantly, TO has became larger yet again, now roughly 4 meters long (-100 R, size up to ~4 meters).
TO has began using the dug-up soil as the building blocks for upward expansion of the new hive, bulding termite-like mounds but many times larger. This has created a perching place for various birds which TO has consumed (+75 R). After the expansion was complete, TO tried talking to the zombie, but it understood what TO was saying as an insult and procedeed to throw a rock at TO, causing it some harm (-25 H). TO then cut down many shrubs and leaves to cover up the nest, catching many animals which happened to call those shrubs home (+113 R). TO then rested and regenerated it’s wounds (50 R → 125 H). With it’s new ENs, TO tried to understand something of great importance, but it changed it’s neural networks so much that it got damaged a bit in the process (-25 H)! TO then hunted many animals through the forest and the fields where livestock animals resided (+63 R). Remembering it’s traps from the first nest, the great ant tried to recreate them here but it almost got burried alive instead (-25 H)! After escaping the collapsed trap-pit TO practiced it’s luring skills by tricking mice, they weren’t so great but a few mice got eaten in the end (+38 R).
(+207 MH, +157 S, +50 H, +25 ME, +139 R, Size Doubled)
SIZE-RELATED CHANGES (will take effect from Round 14):
- Things such as mutations/action costs, statistic gains due to mutations/actions, energy consumed per round, health loss due to roll of 1, resource gathering multiplier and resources turning into other statistics have been multiplied by
50100 (so for instance, a resource-gathering action with a roll of 3 or 4 will now gather63125 R (50100 R +1325 R from the former +0.25 R per R-gathering action) and cost2550 E.)
Statistics
HEALTH - 1029/2289 → 2058/4578
STRENGTH - 2108 → 4216
RESOURCES - 657/768 (-200 R from mutations, used 50 R to regenerate 150 E) → 1314/1536
ENERGY - 121/1025 → 242/2050
Informal:
SIZE - ~4M (4 cm x 100)
KILLS - 1 PERSON
HUMAN POPULATION ~ 6099999999
COUNTRY POPULATION ~ 5100000
HUMAN AWARENESS LEVEL - “Four Rescuers saw you and have reported your existance to the local authorities in Matiguas… Many volunteers reported the existance of strange ants in your former residing site… Researchers are on the way to investigate the ants…”

Miscellaneous
I’ll remind you that there exists a system that allows you to make a vote against a player whose Mutation/Actions goes against your own Mutation/Action.
Some additional rules and stuff:
-If size of the organism increases, so will the organism statistics, aswell as their effects (so if you double your size, the organism has double in height statistics, and it consumes double energy/round passively).
-Actions such as converting resources into energy, or turning resources into health, don’t cost energy. However, if you don’t have resources nor energy, you can draw your health bar (meaning that it’ll have a lower cap) in order to regenerate energy just like resources.
