Particular thanks to thanhmk28 on our forums for putting a lot of time into the fandom wiki, and writing / formatting a majority of the articles so far. However, thanks to some dedicated community members, the Empires of the Undergrowth wiki has had some big content additions over the past couple of months. We’ve been slightly bemused by these and not entirely sure what to make of them – up until very recently, they were simply placeholders with very little in the way of articles. I’m sure many of you are familiar with the fan wikis that crop up is one of the more prominent ones. Two colonies scan for points of interest on one another – light orange is the real scan, the maroon is a skipped scan where it decided to use saved data from a scan not so long ago in the same place They get their name from the distinctive popping sound they make when threatened, and a closer look at the cause of this sound reveals a defensive system that can be deadly if you happen to be small and in its way. There are several species – this one is called Brachinus alternans. BOMBARDIER BEETLEīombardiers are a kind of well-armoured ground beetle. Naturally, we need more beetles in Empires of the Undergrowth ( but perhaps not so many as to cause an uprising…) so we have a few more joining our various tiger beetles and rove beetles in the upcoming fourth tier. They appear throughout human culture and history, in art and science – they exist just about everywhere that we do. They are the most diverse group of insects, and arguably of all animals. We’ve still got quite a few critters to show off as we complete work on them, as well as a few we don’t want to spoil until we get very close to release time.

Grow your pet formicarium over time by completing missions.

Encounter and overpower dangerous beetles, arachnids and other awesome arthropods.

Play as different ant species and explore their unique traits and weaknesses.

Engage in fast-paced colony versus colony combat above ground.

Carve out and construct your underground nest to suit your strategy.

You can upgrade them by playing one-off missions, sometimes with your home colony and sometimes with other ant species. 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. 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.
