Summary
Empire of the Ants is a real-time strategy game based on Bernard Weber's best-selling novel of the same name. Players are exposed to the beautiful, microscopic world of the ants as it comes to life with real-time 3D multiple camera angles and 'in and out' zooms.
Players assume the role of an up-and-coming ant commander that has been given the chance to oversee the welfare and expansion of a colony of russet ants. Each player must build up their forces, guard their anthill, collect food and building materials, and maintain and grow their colony of ants.
Empire of the Ants features extraordinary AI that replicates the instincts of each insect and faithfully reproduces more than 60 different species of insect and animal to exploit and engage in battle. Multiplayer mode allows for up to eight players over LAN or internet to take part in multiplayer skirmishes with a host of options and playing styles.
