[Antz] What would have happened to the colony if the General had succeeded with his plans? Would the colony have survived?
gpt
This is a difficult question, normal ant colonies don't function as we saw. There is 1 queen, and princesses (future queens) leave the nest at the appropriate time of year to form their own colonies (also the drones are all females, or genderless). if the queen dies then a normal colony would usually die out. Some species can replace a queen, but these are not normally colonies familiar to North American cities. 

Within the movie itself, again taking from real life situations, the princess (new queen, now NQ) would be prepared to lay eggs. There is usually a male present for fertilisation, the only males the colony will produce (also winged), but for argument lets assume the general will fill this role.

The new colony will have an abundance of older soldiers but this sin't an issue because a NQ usually fends for herself at the start of a colony. Likely the colony will grow much quicker and have a more secure start with leftover soldiers. Though there is also a chance that the soldiers won't recognise the queen and will instead be drawn back to their original colony until it and they die off. 

I love ants.
