Ants can be more or less cautious and this is correlated to the size of their colony. The bigger the colony the more bold the ant. Just having ants seek food and lay trails after finding food isn't enough to get the kind of complex emergent behaviors you see from real colonies. Give your digital ants "emotions." 2/
