MAY UPDATE 2

ADDED: FERNAII and her unevolved form; FEN! She is in the bright forest!

ADDED: Moves have several new variables called: recharge, calorie_cost, and obedience cost. This allows moves to immediately recharge some energy immediately, or cost calories, or cost obedience, when used. 

ADDED 4 NEW MOVES: All of the moves are BUG moves. First there is SWARM and POISON STING. Poison Sting does good damage and inflicts Poison for 9 turns of small damage. Swarm inflicts good damage and inflicts INFESTED which drains a monster’s calories and tiny amount of HP. OVI-POSIT has a BUG monster think about how much it wants to breed, boosting its fertility and virility, the move costs a little obedience to use. Finally PHEROMONES allows a monster to take out one of the opposing ‘leaders’ (your trainer) BP, those are the contraceptive defenses, the little ovum with shields over them, and increase that scout / leader's fertility (a little) permanently. 

VERSION: START with a BUGGER and Fernaii to test things!

ALTER: BONK now does 15 dmg (^12) Bonk now restores 7 energy. As the move that monsters automatically revert to when unable to use a move, BONK cost zero energy and offered the code logic an option to fall back on and that was always available so it could finish its turn. BONK as the zero cost slot 1 move ALSO kind of took the role of a ‘cooldown’ move. NOW, with the more energy expensive moves rolling out, and my stated design philosophy of: “NO POINTLESS MOVES.”, it makes sense to give BONK a small energy recharge effect, further establishing its identity as the “fallback” move.

FIXED: I think I fixed a slight aspect ratio bug. I will fix the F key being bugging while saving while working on the next update. 

Here are the next two basic enemies for the ant tribe! I am now working on 3 more ants, who are "special" as either one off fights or who have unique mechanics. Patrons are voting to decide the ants color scheme! Will spend this week finishing the MIND and GHOST moves to complete the combat update wave. As well as punting out a finished FLYBOT for the next update. UPDATE IS LIVE IN THE MEGA
