In this video we'll look at an academic study which used Age of Empires 2 to simulate battles between ants and explore Lanchester's Square Law.

The Study (published in PNAS): https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2217973120
Written by Dr. Samuel Lymbery, Dr. Bruce Webber, and Dr. Raphael Didham. Edited by Dr. Douglas Emlen.

More informal explanation of the study written by one of the authors (Dr. Webber): https://www.csiro.au/en/news/All/Articles/2023/August/Ant-warfare
