About Empire of the Ants

Empire of the Ants is a strategy game that shrinks the battlefield down to a microscopic world, casting you as 103,683rd, a curious ant of the warrior caste. Fighting for your Queen, the Federation and your Empire, you explore your surroundings, conquer new territories and defend your lands through tactical, strategic battles waged across an epic insect-scale landscape.

Winning demands more than brute force. You shape your strategy by carefully choosing your roster of starting, support and super-predator legions, then upgrade your nest's tier to unlock stronger units, deciding between options like the defensive Snail or the mobile Rhino Beetles. Special abilities tied to pheromones let you scare enemies away, reinforce your units or spy on opponents, forging either an offensive or defensive posture. Outposts add another layer, since conquering and upgrading them lets you build your economy, gather battlefield intelligence, gain new powers or shore up your defenses, and claiming other nests expands your territory when space runs short.

Forging alliances with local wildlife proves just as crucial as combat, adding a diplomatic wrinkle to each campaign. For players who want to test their skills further, ranked 1v1 multiplayer pits you against rivals in matchmade skirmishes. Blending exploration, roster building and conquest, Empire of the Ants offers PC strategy fans an unusually intimate perspective on war.
