Empires of the Undergrowth - Challenge 1.1 New Home CHALLENGE MODE - Ant Colony Simulator
14Empires of the Undergrowth returns with our attempts to complete New Home, again, but with Challenge mode switched on.
Why? Because I gave Formicarium Challenge 1 a go and it was hard. Really, REALLY hard! So we need to boost our formicarium before trying it again and the rewards from the challenge mode are excellent.
The level is pretty much the same as it was previously except for... crickets. Mole crickets. The burrow through the flipping ground and drop into your nest at will! And they are big!

"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.
Missions are narrated from the perspective of a documentary film maker studying the ants, who offers intelligent insight into the goings-on of the colony and the undergrowth beyond. The primary game mode in early access is Formicarium, where you take ownership of a home colony of unique DNA-harvesting ants as they work to assimilate the desirable traits of their foes. You can upgrade them by playing one-off missions, sometimes with your home colony and sometimes with other ant species.
