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.
- Carve out and construct your underground nest to suit your strategy
- Engage in fast-paced colony versus colony combat above ground
- Play as different ant species and explore their unique traits and weaknesses
- Encounter and overpower dangerous beetles, arachnids and other awesome arthropods
- Grow your pet formicarium over time by completing missions
Today, we pre-emptively released a build with the intention of getting ahead of things for the planned release of our winter level on Wednesday. Unfortunately it seems that we missed a glitch when testing - level 2.1 Rising Tide seems to have problems with food spawning in the new patch.
For now, we've rolled back these changes so the game is still completable. This shouldn't affect too much since the new level, Hibernation, wasn't due to be fully released until the 22nd anyway. We'll get everything fixed and re-packaged, and reinstate the update when we're ready!
