Rule: Unfamiliar smell = attempt to hold
Own territory:
A smells unfamiliar to B ➡️ B holds A
B smells familiar to A ➡️ A doesn't struggle
Eventually A becomes familiar ➡️ B lets go
Other territory:
A smells unfamiliar to C ➡️ C holds A
C smells unfamiliar to A ➡️ A attempts to hold C
Other ants called in to assist C in dealing with the invader.
