[ 2022-09-01 10:59:19 CET ] [ Original post ]
Weve made a bunch of fixes and some changes since the fire ant update, so many in fact that we want to run an optional beta before full release to make sure we havent damaged some vital system somewhere. This opt-in beta will run for a short while. Please note that optional betas are only accessible on the Steam Windows 64 bit build. If you would like to join the beta, the code is fireantfixtest. If you dont know how to join a beta and would like to, follow the instructions below: [quote] [olist]

Empires of the Undergrowth Depot Linux [2.13 G]
"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.
