Empires of the Undergrowth - Formicarium Challenge 1 - Ant Colony Simulator
30Empires of the Undergrowth is back with the first test for our formicarium as we are sent many invaders.
Who sends these invaders to our lovely, supposedly safe nest in the laboratory? The crazy scientist bloke, that's who! He ignores the orders of his colleague and, after some initial easy numbers of enemy ants, bombards our nest with tides of beasties!
The man is unhinged. Everything starts off small, with a few ants here and there, but the numbers build up as the scientist guy giggles with delight about the ant onslaught he's sending to us.
Before we know it, we're facing an endless stream of two types of enemy ant and then he throws in some Devil's Coach Horse beetles in for good measure! Do we survive or is our nest overrun?

"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.
