Description

Check the Empire of the Ants remake!


Welcome to Empire of the Ants! The classic real-time strategy and simulation game, based on Bernard Werber’s best-seller, released on PC in 2000 by Microids, is now available on GOG!

In this game, you play as the leader of an ant colony in the Bel-O-Kan empire, the mother colony, and must complete various missions in order to defeat the most fearsome predator, the praying mantis.

You must manage two environments: the ant colony and the great outdoors. The ant colony is organized around the Queen's chamber, warehouses, and spaces for eggs and the production of underground food such as mushrooms, aphids, and gourds. Inside the colony and in the outdoors, you can zoom in and out, rotate the camera angle, and use the mini map to view exploitable resource areas.

Only armed units are controllable, while workers follow only priorities set by the player such as food and maintenance of chambers. Establishing priorities will allow you to build the ant colony adapted to your strategy and will lead you to survive your opponents and through each season, including winter hibernation.

So, prepare to lead your red ants to victory in Empire of the Ants, now on GOG!

👍in '01. '24 makes bethesda look smooth

I can't make this game run for more than a few minutes. Bringing up the map overlay so I can see where the resource zones are crashes the game within a minute of doing so. I was able to play about 15 minutes without doing that, but it makes knowing where resources are and where your workers are going impossible in a game about controlling the resource zones an protecting your workers. I've tried compatability mode, no luck. changed all settings I could, still no. This game might just have to remain a fond memory because I can't make it play on a modern system. :(

Nonfunctional and broken

Game runs at low FPS (perhaps some 20-25?) and crashes randomly after a few minutes. Completely unplayabel

Played a loooooonnng time ago...

This review is only about the game I played years ago, not this version on GOG. I liked it a lot. Being an ant was a really fun and unique experience. However, this game is initially in more languages than just English. This is sadly enough very frequent on GOG : many games are proposed in English version only although they originally exist in many more languages. This is one of the reasons why I don't buy many of the these games. So, to sum up, the game is really worth it for itself and if you don't bother only play it in English. I would give it 4 stars. But since the other languages are not available on this site, I only give it 2 stars. For the price, ti's worth it. But you can also wait for the new release to come with Unreal Engine 5 graphics.
