We really need a modern remake of this.
I first got to try Sim Ant a lot later than release. I found that I could just fast forward (I don’t remember how, maybe on ZSNES emulator?), and the win rate without touching anything was at least 50%.
I’d love to see a remake that both allowed for little micromanaging and made your gameplay consequential. Perhaps if they player had a hand in programming the ants’ behavior. Maybe make an Visual Ant Language or something that looks like Scratch and as the game progresses you get more steps to drop in.
if anyone ends up in a leadership role, your job is to remove obstacles from your workers, avoid people from interfering with your workers, give your workers what they need to succeed, co-ordinate between your workers , fill the gaps in their knowledge, and take the shittiest tasks that are leftover.

Meaning: stop other “leaders” from ever coming remotely near your people.
yes, but if your person is specialised to the point where they would be able to resolve the matter best, let them have the cross discipline/personal leadership to be a representative of your team/project to allow them to grow.
I’m incredibly lucky right now this is exactly what my current boss does. It’s wonderful and I actually feel like I can get a lot of work done (at least when we’re not bogged down with the corporate mandated giant ‘scrum’ meetings)
I would like to teach a few people in my organization this lesson.
If only management would undestand…
Management are just there to shout at people.
- Go to a meeting
- Do nothing
- ???
- Profit!
