About this product

Product Information

Based on the book of the same name by Bernard Werber, this unusual game from Microids challenges players to feed their workers, expand their colony, and protect the queen at all costs. Though perhaps borrowing slightly from Maxis' 1991 SimAnt in theme and setting, Empire of the Ants offers state-of-the-art real-time strategy gaming in a whole new arena. Players battle for control of 3D-rendered landscapes featuring enormous mushrooms and towering blades of grass. While seasoned real-time strategy gamers should recognize the conventional themes of resource management and military expansion, Empire of the Ants interprets these concepts on its own terms.<br><br>As the ants struggle to find new sources of food and expand the colony, they must remain always wary of threatening dangers, such as hungry predators like the praying mantis and the advances of rival ant and termite colonies. The game offers two main views on the action: one above ground for exploration and battle, the other below ground in the twisting passages of the ever-expanding colony. Another distinct feature of this real-time strategy game is its use of priority settings, which allows the assignment of levels of importance to different projects, thus freeing the player from some of the tedious micro-management otherwise necessary to encourage the success of the growing colony of countless worker insects.
