How intelligent is TO right now?
Also, can we expect humans to come back soon?

Maybe around 200 IQ, you can just generally assume that every “smartness mutation” adds around 20 IQ.
Round 21, said that at Round 19.
Mutation: More intelligence
Action: Create diplomats

TO and their gang children have developed this technology sometime ago.
That wouldn’t last very long.
But wait? how would they sme-
This totally should have started with a marine organism.

I mean, at the beginning of the game I had to do a coin flip between an ant and a shark. The ant won.
Fate has decided against the advanced fish people.
This is going to be in out of context isn’t it

I’d think that people would still turn the shark into a SCP-8610 instance of some kind.
i’d be making us partner with ikea first chance i get to do so.

Mutation: Strong Sticky silk that comes out of the front limbs that TO and their cast can walk on but other animals will get stuck
Action: Spin the silk around the tower so it can passively catch prey like fly tape or a spiders web

Round 21 - 6:00, April 30th, 2000
Round Prologue
As the day starts, humans visit their new strange ant neighbour once again…
The Organism
Before the sunrise, TO developed it’s eyes, making them better at night sight, but it’s not perfect (+25 MH, +25 ME). The Healing processes have also been improved, alongside a new caste specialized in helping with regeneration (+(1.25 X Size Modifier)H/Round). TO is now far smarter, at around 240 IQ if it was to take a test (+200 ME). A special ability has also been developed - TO and it’s children now can secrete silk from their front limbs, which is easy to walk for them but not for any other creature (+100 S, @Centarian please submit a minor mutation related to this silk).
The tower’s height has been improved even more, being easily visible from the region around the Reserva. TO was given gifts for that too (+75 R). To celebrate, the ant went into a food storage room where it ate all it wanted and spent the said food into health regeneration (+500 H). TO then tried to produce more of the healing caste, but yet again it instead made other castes. At this point it’s starting to get frustrating (50 R → 50 S). However, when focused on making the diplomats before the humans arrive, TO made a success with even more diplomats than wanted being made (100 R → 100 S and New Political Power Tier). Using it’s newly-evolved silk powers, TO has fully covered the tower’s surroundings with sticky silk, which has catched lots of food (+125 R). TO also studied the various metals extracted for the nest, making new and better alloys which allow the tower to be sturdier. More gifts were given for this great discovery (+125 R).
HUMAN INTERACTION
(Rolled 4/6 - team of 12 humans)
12 people have entered TO’s nest yet again, being quickly met by the smart ant and it’s zombie. They told TO that news of this extraordinary organism are spreading fast and beginning to be seen all over the world. They also said that in some 24 hours (ROUND 25) official nicaraguan researchers will arrive at the place of the new hive to do stuff with TO. They also told the ant that the political leaders of the country have also been alerted of the existance of the ant.
Another news is that, as the human visitors suspect, from this point on people will visit this site all the time but the night (every round other than the 00:00 round).
Soon after that the diplomats have shown up. Not fully grown yet, they currently have the height of children. The visitors were highly disturbed by their human-like appearance. However, some of the diplomats would start speaking to the humans, not being quite as good as TO was at this yet.
At last, a photo of TO was taken, showing the mystery ant, the revived tourist and some diplomats.
(+25 MH, +225 ME, PHR improved, +250 S, +325 R, +625 H, New Political Power Tier)
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
ARMOUR - 125
HEALTH - 3465/6753
STRENGTH - 5691
RESOURCES - 1061/1536 (-275 R from mutations, Used 100 R to regenerate 300 E)
ENERGY - 7/3275 (-300 E from actions)

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.
Political Power Tier essentialy gives a perspective into how strong are TO’s forces on the political stage.

Let’s say that they will be capable of taking out their adult-age tasks by the next round.
