Empires of the Undergrowth v1.1010742

Empires of the Undergrowth is a real-time strategy game that turns the subterranean world of ants into your personal battlefield. You begin at the queen’s chamber and expand outward, ordering workers to dig storerooms, nurseries and tunnels in a hex-based maze of soil and bedrock. Above ground, you’ll harvest seeds, nectar, fungus and even take on insects or amphibians-each resource comes with its own risk and reward, and every decision can ripple back into the heart of your colony.

As night falls, vulnerable foragers rush home amid beetles and other predators; by day your warriors clash with rival ant empires. Coordinate simultaneous overground and underground operations, adapt to changing threats and protect your queen at all costs.
Key Features:

Empires of the Undergrowth delivers a fresh spin on RTS gameplay by blending meticulous base building, strategic resource management and intense ant-scale combat-all while you forge a thriving colony beneath the very ground you walk on.
