In short, the pathing of units in AoE2 is primitive enough that it seemingly mimics the way ants move, giving them opertunities to test models in the game before trying it on real ants. That's pretty neat. Someone, please make these guys an ant mod for the game

Instructions unclear made a mod based off the movie Antz
