Due to the unpredictable nature of beta tests, we strongly recommend you back up your formicarium saves before you play:
You will find your saves on Windows in:
C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\EotU\Saved\SaveGames
Note that AppData is usually hidden; you can either un-hide the folder in the files settings or just type it into the bar. If you make a copy of this folder and save it somewhere else, you can restore your saves by replacing this folder with the backed up one.

An optional beta is available to all Steam owners of the game running a 64 bit Windows system. The idea with these occasional builds is to give people access to new things that need wider testing, with the understanding that there are likely to be crashes and balance issues. We would appreciate feedback if you can provide it - post on our Steam forums, or our official forums. The beta code is summertimeants. If youre unfamiliar with how to activate a Steam beta, heres how to do it: [olist]
Headline Features
New Extra Level - Tug Of War
- An auto-battler game mode in which you pit your chosen build against an AI opponent
- The enemy has a number of different builds to choose from; to beat it youll need to be smarter and faster!
- Instead of gathering resources you are given food periodically based on how well youre doing
- Push back the enemy and kill their queen to claim victory
Freeplay AI Colonies
- AI enemy colonies can now be added to a new freeplay game in the setup menu
- In this first implementation their AI is basic so they dont have a difficulty setting (it is greyed out; this will be expanded on later) but you can give yourself a challenge by having them cheat to varying degrees
- A new victory condition - Conquest - can be set in Advanced Options. To achieve it, all enemy queens must be killed
Fixes & Balance
- Fixed an issue where a loaded harvestmans leg could cause the game to crash
- Can no longer place markers for nest group underground via minimap
- Blocked side routes for the huge whip spider on Aggrandise (preventing your ants pathing through its chamber unintended)
- Underground enemy icons are now scaled based on how many points they provide. This should make it easier to gauge threats before attacking
- Allied creatures now show health when camouflaged
- Ramp collision improvements
- Reduced point value of army ant media
- Marker calculations have been improved (should be more responsive)

"Your queen has set up home beneath a rotting log. She is fat, and vulnerable. Her first brood will need to move quickly if the colony is to survive. Their priority now is to find food, and there is plenty around; but there are other hungry creatures in the undergrowth. The workers will need to be vigilant."
Empires of the Undergrowth is an ant colony management game, in a fast-paced real-time strategy style. The player excavates their nest underground, constructing tunnels and chambers to store food and raise brood. On the surface, the ants claim territory, gather resources, overwhelm fearsome arachnids and clash with other colonies. Nest design, army size, composition and attack timing are key to securing victory.
