Ant Kingdom City

Ant Kingdom City
The flourishing Ant Kingdom capital is home to the Explorer's Association and the Ant Palace. There's a public Residential Area and a private one housing farms and homes for Ants.

The Ant Kingdom City, also referred to as Ant City, is one of the four Kingdom capital areas in the game, alongside Bee Kingdom Hive, Wasp Kingdom Hive and Termite Capitol. It is the home for many different species, mainly Ants, and the home of Team Snakemouth.

Overview

The Ant Kingdom City is the capital of the Ant Kingdom. The Anthill Palace lies in its center, surrounded by a large constructed wall. The city itself is split into three distinct sections, being the Main Plaza, the Residential District, and the Commercial District. The three districts surround the Anthill Palace and connect in a loop.

Subareas

The Main Plaza

The Main Plaza has a southern exit which leads directly to the city limits where the Explorers' Association is located. It also connects to the only known entrance through the Anthill Palace's walls. The western and eastern exits lead to the Commercial and Residential districts respectively. In the center of the plaza is the Settler's Statue. The statue depicts an Ant that had lost its way while Queen Elizant I and her people were searching for a place to found the Ant Kingdom. After the ant was found, the same location was chosen for the settlement. Also in the Main Plaza is the Bugaria Theater where M.M., Chubee, and Fuzzo can be found inside, a red house that can be opened with the Flower Key, the Ant City's Inn run by the Ant City Innkeeper, and a quest board run by Utter. Additionally, Janet, Tod, Ann, and Samira, can all be found wandering the plaza. A soldier stands guard at the entrance to the palace grounds.

The Commercial District

The Commercial District contains several shops, including Madame Butterfly's item shop, Merab's medal shop, and Fry's cooking shop. An entrance to the Underground Tavern can be found behind some bushes next to Madame Butterfly's shop. Initially, there is an under-construction plot of land. After the team takes Queen Elizant II to Bugaria Pier using the submarine, this plot is replaced with the Termacade. Additionally, Oma, the Unnamed Gourmet, the Seedling Slayer, and Amber of the Ant Storage Service can be found here.

The Residential District

The Residential District houses the homes of several non-ant Ant Kingdom residents. It also contains the Bank of Bugaria. According to Leif, in the past, it used to be a recreational area, and was mostly empty except for the fountain. The homes of Muze and Muze's Father, Ali, Mun and Eophi, and Alex can be found here. Bomby can also be found in this area.

Dialogue Main Plaza Kabbu: Ah, the Ant Kingdom's main plaza. It greets both tourists and citizens alike. It is the bridge between the commercial area, the castle, and the residential area. To top it off, it has many historical points such as the Inn, the Theatre, and the founder statue. Leif: Kabbu, you should look into the tour guide business. Main Plaza (With Eetl) Kabbu: Ah, the Ant Kingdom's main pla- Eetl: We mustn't keep the Queen waiting. Kabbu: ... Residential District Leif: There's a lot of houses here now. Kabbu: Is that so? How was it back then? Leif: It was only the fountain. This was more of a social spot... Vi: Huh. They turned a park into housing? Leif: As more people came in, it was inevitable. But we do miss the park... Commercial District Vi: This is the commercial area, the best area of them all! There's a Medal Shop, a Chef... And Madame Butterfly's store! No other store can compare! Leif: Commerce excites you too much, Vi. Vi: Heheh. And there's THAT place for even more business! Kabbu: Hopefully we can do most of our business out in the open... Main Plaza (Wasp Attack) Vi: Everything is... Kabbu: Come, Vi! We must press on!

Trivia

• This area used the outskirts theme in the demo.
• Originally, there was going to be a farm in the area, though this was scrapped and presumably replaced with the farm in the Golden Settlement. The removal to add a farm also explains the strange loop between the residential areas.
