Beating Spore as a Tiny Ant 

I like how all of the sudden everyone in the comments have studied ants to prove their point

You missed the opportunity to call the world “my kitchen floor” because that’s where they always seem to end up

Most, maybe even all ants, are actually omnivorous! It's why they get into your home and invade. They want to eat all the food in it. Ants usually love sweet food. Most hymenopterans in general seem to be omnivorous.

you actually don't need to give your creature arms for tribal stage - they will hold tools in their mouths (which makes cutscenes hilarious)

If you change the graphics settings as a baby is hatching during tribal stage, you’ll get another free baby. Best way to fill up your tribe quickly for the cost of one baby.

Could have called the first one Antcestor.

I'm so glad to see spore content recommended to me, thank you for allowing me to relive nostalgia.

Genuinely surprised they have not made a new spore. I still play this on occasion, and remember buying it when it first came out on disc a decade or so ago. Great game, very fun.

It seems like you got bigger during the creature stage even though you never wanted to, very interesting that a bigger brain forces a bigger body lol

One of my favorite strategies for the creature stage is to ally with rogue creatures and make them pack members. With their 250 hp, they are excellent frontline fighters. And they're usually decked out with all the finest social "gear." Because they travel alone, it is much easier to befriend them and then add them to your pack. But my favorite part is that you can take them with you to the tribal stage. If they're still alive and still pack members, they will appear in the little corral/paddock as domesticated animals! I like to send off the tribe members to hunt and/or gather and have the chief gather eggs from the paddock. The best part is that when you are attacked, by other tribes or possibly wild animals, the domesticated rogue creatures will help you defend you land. They also retain their 250 health. In fact, for those of you who might not be aware yet, ANY pack members that weren't your species that were still alive when you evolved will be in the paddock as domesticated animals. You can gather eggs from them as well. If they aren't rogues, their health won't be even close to those tank powerhouses.

4:37 you were right the first time. The abdomen is the back segment of insects, the thorax is is in thr middle, and then there's the head. The abdomen only appears to be in "the middle" of humans because we stand upright, but since insects (and everybody else) stand horizontally, theirs is at the back.

actually in their younger stages they (ants) are partially transparent and the cell stage could be considered the young stage

Fun fact fire ants are not poisonous but instead have stingers

I believe antlions are lacewing larva? Something like that. Bassically they start life with max stats (as antlions) and lose everything to be able to fly and mate... then die.

Fun fact- Queen ants actually have the wings. They get the wings fly and mate then they shed their wings and go burrow deep somewhere they feel safe and then have their babies/army and you'll never see them again unless you dig them up.

They’re also omnivore ants And they also eat anything they see

5:00 you could've went for a larva looking creature

I like how spore is so old but everyone keeps playing it since its so fun XD

The fire ant picture was a weaver ant and while fire ants are omnivorous the weaver ants are truly carnivores

Next try to beat spore as an ant of medium size

The majority of ants are actually omnivores and have a farm of fungus that they use to feed the colony they also capture, kill, or scavenge other insects that they also eat

4:43 I think you were right on the first one, the back part is called the abdomen and the middle is the thorax. At least, I’m pretty sure lol. I am notorious for mishearing things and I learnt that fact many many years ago so I very well could have misheard. I always second guess myself XD

6:58 "And ants do have big ole dumpersons." Commentary at its finest.

more pogged spore content

You:What is it, the abdomen. Me:Yes. You:No. Me:🤨

biblically accurate ant

I'm so happy we have the ants we have today instead of those

Not 7 year old spore content? Amazing.

There are 15000 known ant species and another 15000 possible unknown ant species, a ton of ants❤

Imagine if we met these Antonios. Apparently they're the size of small dogs

As a myrmecologist, I have had to resist going on a massive thread about everything ants

The one thing I didn't like about spore was that unless you want to struggle during the campaign you had to use certain parts with no regards to looks. Kind of wish there was a way to upgrade weaker parts to also have higher damage.

I wish the cell stage could last forever, it's so mesmerizingly beautiful and relaxing

Fun Fact: Most ant species are actually omnivores!

Btw, the thorax is the middle part, the abdomen is the big bulbous butt. Now although fire ants are venomous with stingers, some ants can expel acid to attack so the poison thing can still be considered accurate. And I have never heard of a ant that can produce electricity like an electric eel.

Your ruthless aggression is very satisfying...and Antlike. heh.

Btw young ant queens have wings and once they mature they loose them

In the game these ants really tiny, but if you put it to scale, it'd be more or less the size of a small dog in real life

I put this on as I went to bed and got hooked on it. Very good video felt very nostalgic to watch spore again. Keep it up 💯

9:07 "Once we are 15 - let's mate" - Jancum

Spore is one of those games that are quite old but still good

So the Proto Ant is your Antcestor - right?

You could make a great "out of context" video with your soundbites lol

Spore is such a unique game and I love seeing people make more content with it. ( Though I wish we could get a new version that really captured the essence of what makes for interesting) Edited for spelling(voice to text needs editing 🤷)

I don’t know where you live, but you have some real weird looking ants over there.

Ant lions aren’t ants. They are ant murderers.

I don't understand English well but this video was really interesting, I was especially amused by how the ants were running and jumping haha. I hope one day I can play this game

as the boyfriend of an aspiring entomologist, antlions are not ants, they are a close relative to the lacewing and mantis fly

A lot of ants spray formic acid! :D They can also inject it with stingers, which they have on their buts! They need both protein and sugars to make healthy colonies, therefore they're omnivores.

This video made me realize the potential of Spore challenges and how creative they can be. Also I love the ants designs!

was recommended this video. Looked at your channel expecting a million or half a million subscribers. Bruh... I literally found a gem of a channel 😭💖

Now make a roach build, where it has as much hp as possible. Edit: cause theyre hard to kill

"delicious amphibian ?" Whatcha mena by that?

just casually watching this at 1am, where my walls are paper fine and i can hear my brother drunkly (loudly) talking (/sing) with his friends in VR chat... while trying to fall asleep since i need to catch a train at 8am... :D

Love seeing Spore videos, it’s so nostalgic and comfy. I like your editing and commentary as well, you have a lovely relaxed vibe! Subscribed, looking forward to more cozy videos from you!

6 legs ????? ants do be 6 leg guys

Am I the only person that was bothered by the fact that 1 of the 6 tentacle things during cell stage was out of sync with the other 5 tentacles? I just couldn't stop paying attention to that hahaa

this is one of my first videos by you, and I am hooked. I have always loved spore, and this reminded me of my childhood. thank you. instant subscribe.

A green tree queen ant:"falls" Him: a perfect photo to mimic my death

You don’t need hands to get to the tribal stage

A Weaver ant queen is a good choice for the death counter

As I was watching this, I just got an ad for liquid ant bait.

Ants are overpowered bugs that’s all I got to say

Watched some of your Spore videos and I just wanna tell you that it's nice to see how you take the evolution roleplay seriously without being dry and humorless. Your Spore series is amazing!

I got an ad for orkin on this video, a pest control lmao

Thank you RU-vid for introducing me to this dude.

4:46 one more correction: the thorax is the area of any insect’s middle part, in flying insects/ants such as the alates or drones, they have extended thoraxes to fit the flight muscles. The abdomen is the tail part.

I remember when I made a herbivore that was just tall enough to simply grab the fruit trees, however I forgot how to do that as I done it once many years ago but it is possible and not that simple.

atleast noone stepped on him

The voice over makes this gold tier entertainment👌

"Trying to think of a pun here..." Me: "ANTCESTOR! ANTCEST- ...fuck it."

ant-man rules the multiverse.

Bro the universal antcestor

The thorax is the “connector” to the first and third parts of an ants body, like spiders, ants have enlarged abdominal pieces to their genetics which allow them to attract mates and identify themselves among each other

I find ants actually quite beautiful when compared to other insects. When you see other beautiful insects under a microscope they become nightmare fuel, not ants.

Ants are actually omnivores (but they just like meat)

I like animal facts and I see a ton of people sharing their ant loving facts, so I’ll join the discussion. Fire ants are crazy smart, they’ve been known to link their legs together during floods to form rafts, and they carry the babies and Queen on their raft. Nothing is more disturbing than seeing a large, floating pile of live Fire ants. Can tell you from experience, their sting hurts. Some ants have been known to farm Aphids. They guard the aphids from predators and in exchange the aphids produce a sugary substance that feeds the ants. Ants carry their dead to an ant graveyard. The ants recognize dead ants by scent, and the chemical cue that produces this scent is made by Oleic acid: a common ingredient in some cereals like Trix. Ants get very confused by Oleic acid and in one experiment, a live ant was made to smell like this chemical. This ant willingly went to the graveyard and stayed, until the scent wore off. Speaking of scent, most ants recognize each other from scent. Many ants have poor eyesight, which some crazy species take advantage of. One example is the large blue Caterpillar, which tricks the ants into taking care of it as brood parasite.

I'm rlly thankfull for this video. Perfect for while I wait 40 min for the night buss after a party💀

You kinda sound like technoblade, I love spore.

Hearing the solid snake death killed me😅😂😂😂

Wow, that was fascinating! It was the greatest documentary about Australian ants I've ever seen!

Ant go scrt scrt

"I don't see why the baby is mate calling, that dosent seem right" 🤔

This is my first vid, and right as I heard that this guy won as a frog I became very interested.

The thorax is atually the middle part, you had it right the first time 4:42

The fact that an ant lion is a ant is not true, it is a fly larvae that feeds on ants instead.

Lmao i love the edit and voiceovers

You said that butt thingy is a thorax but it isn't that's the adamen in the middle it's the thorax

I'm getting flashbacks to our druid in a DND campaign that kept ranting about how ants were the ultimate form of life

Now that my friend looks like a whipspider

spore is indeed my favorite evolution samulator

now hold on there, there is no "us" in this equation 7:30

Yep, theres electrical ants, first thing i saw about them was them existing in the UK after coming from Uzbekistan or something

Nvm I'm back, I'm going through a spores phase and you've got a relaxing voice, goodnight day 2

Antlion is techically not an ant, not heard of a Antlion before literally just searched it up

This video had the most “that’s what she said” and “pause” moments I’ve ever seen in a RU-vid video

6:00 your ant has insufficient limbs.

This is my lore right here

bro calling their abdomens, thoraxes

Learn something new every day, I only know the antlion from terraria, and I would say it like ant-leon.
