They are best engaged in standard Ant v Anything tactics, with numbers and unified with workers and soldiers combined.It will talk about all of the species from the starting ants to the most recently added ones.
This guide will be improved upon as the species of the games are introduced or updated or even become playable. While writing this guide, we pick up many pieces of information from several sites for you. The Empire of the Undergrowth Species Guide talks about all of the species of Ants, both Playable and Non currently available in the game, to help you learn about what each one does and strategize with and against them. All Species of Ants Formica Ereptor Gene Thieves (Player Ant) Formica Ereptor, the Gene Thief Ant Species, not a real ant species and only exists in the game, is the players controlled ant species. The Queen of the Species at first starts out rather pathetic compared to what its name suggests, only capable of producing a single type of ant at first, the worker. However, this is only at first, as every ant colony starts out similiarly to what the player starts with, a single Queen and a few workers. Where Ereptors strengths come into play is the fact that, unlike the other species of ants, Formica Ereptor can use the genetic strains of other species, and build their ants as if they were one and the same species. This makes Ereptor the ultimate ant species, as the others cannot do this and are stuck with their own species which will be discussed in their own seperate sections of the guide. Formica Ereptor Queen Formica Ereptors queen is like all other Queens, a giant ant that sits in the center of your colony and does nothing by herself She cannot attack, she cannot defend herself, but unlike all the other ant queens, she possesses unique abilities, and can activate two of four powers when her health drops below 75 She can summon the Royal Guard, a squad of 6-7 giant Ereptor ants that have high health and strong attacks around her that will attack and defend the queen from attackers to the death, for a set period of time. Empires Of The Undergrowth For Free For AShe can unleash a hoard of ants for free for a set period of time, allowing nursery tiles to be refilled with eggs even if empty and hatch their ants wihtout needing to pay for them instantly She can stun enemies around her and in the whole nest for a period of time Or she can restore her health and fully plant and release a new group of ants from their nursery tiles for free Formica Ereptor Worker The first and Only ant available to Ereptor at the start, the ereptor worker fullfills two jobs crucial to the colonys survival and thriving. While any ant can collect food, only the workers can either Dig tunnels or chambers, plant down nursery tiels, plant down food storage tiles, plant down highway tiles, or pick up and plant larvae from the queen and to their assigned nursery tiles They are needed and despite their small size, low health, and weak attacks, can defend themselves if their numbers are high enough. It can gather food like other ants, and picks up eggs from the queen, delivers them to nursery tiles that the player builds, places down food storage and highway tiles. Unlike Ereptors Workers though, Fusca workers tend to be also capable soldiers, as ive personally noticed that workers can deal slightly more damage and are best used in large numbers against single enemy targets. Dont rely on them for warfare, but if necessary they are more than capable of acting as soldiers in large numbers Formica Fusca Soldier Ant (Ereptor) The Fusca Soldier is the workhorse of the Fusca empire, its a capable ant with average health and an average attack strength. It costs more food to plant but it pays for itself by being a staple soldier and capable asset to any army. When controlled by the player in the Ereptor Hierarchy, Fusca Soldiers are the swarming melee soldiers. They are best used as front line combat ants, and meatshields for other weaker ants, or even a screening force for workers going about their buisness. When upgraded they can either deal more damage or endure more damage, or even recover health while out of combat or retreat from combat when they lose a percentage of their overall health. Formica Sanguinea The Slave Maker Ants Formica Sanguinea is a Non Player Controlled (NPC) Ant, and is only encountered during the Fusca Level in Challenge 1.2. Formica Sanguinea are not really dangerous, per say, in that they dont have the numbers or strength to overpower the Black Ant soldiers 1 on 1, but they are dangerous to the colony because of their nasty ability and how they attack the colony. They will attack in waves, charging into the nest in squads of increasing number as the colony progresses in time Sanguinea only have 1 ant type that is encountered, a Slave Maker Soldier Slave Maker Soldier Slave Maker Soldiers are after the colony not to exterminate per-say, but to steal larvae for their own colony. When they attack, half will engage the Colony Ants in battle, acting as a distraction while others rush and dash to the nursery tiles of the colony. The Soldiers of the Sanguinea are on par with the Black Ant Soldiers in terms of health, damage, and speed.
