Dig through a hex-based maze of soil and bedrock, seeking food and fending off other underground dwellers. Starting from a central room hosting your queen, order your workers to develop and optimise your nest – a vast network of store rooms, nurseries, and hallways.The stockpile is empty, and without more, reinforcements will not hatch for the ongoing war between the duelling Empires of the Undergrowth. Nightfall has come and the last of the workers are rushing back underground, dodging beetles to deliver food to the nest. Hundreds of warriors clash in a melee of gnashing mandibles as formic acid artillery fires overhead. Control a variety of warrior ant species in intense battles, command your workers to build and supply an ever-expanding base, and protect your queen at all costs while navigating the unique threats and opportunities of the insect world. Forge your empire in the world of ants, building extensive nests and managing an intricate hierarchy in a way that puts the real-time strategy genre under the microscope.
