How to play: • Click on the options. There are four options which are to dig, place food storage, place workers, and place soldiers. • After selecting an option, you can click to use it. You need to dig to place anything, and the tile must be a wall to dig. • The costs of the tiles are different. Food storage tiles only cost 5, worker tiles cost 20, and the costliest is the soldier tile costing 50. • To use markers, select the UI markers and hold the mouse key to tell the game which tiles you want to follow the marker. You can change the position of the marker you have to press space. • Extra key binds: H to spawn a super soldier. (Counted as cheating.)
THIS IS A VERY EARLY VERSION OF THIS GAME. EXPECT BUGS. To be clear on what this game is, this is a recreation of an amazing game called Empires of the Undergrowth. Issues: • Ants can get stuck on walls when there is not enough free space. This is due to limits in pathfinding.
