The Soldier, is your standard fighting caste for the Gliding-Ant, it is bred for the sole purpose of fighting for the colony. It is one of the stronger of all the species standard soldiers because of its thick shell and thorn damage. However, this particular soldier is not as effective at destroying nests as most soldiers. Like all gliding ants (except the Queen), the soldier can glide from the tree canopy down to the surface. This allows you to take shortcuts, or even jump down directly ontop of enemies. There is a 15% chance of injury when gliding, and a 15% chance of death on impact. This ability can be used as a very tactical advantage. Another unique characteristic of the gliding ant, is its thorny exterior, which deals damage to enemies who bite down on them. NOTE: Workers and Soldiers have different thorn damage and gliding impact power. Cost: 35 food Attack: Below Average Health: Above Average Speed: Normal Thorn-damage: Strong
