About this game
Ant Empire is a tactical strategy and management game set in a world where ant species battle to become the top empire. This deeply detailed and nostalgic turn-based simulation is a mix of many popular older games-- but with a much more modern feel.

Spend influence to claim nearby tiles, or remove the claim from tiles owned by enemy colonies. Attack enemy nests, or reinforce friendly nests. Select the type of nest during creation.

Princesses are used to create new nests around the map. As your empire grows, you will have to manage and make several important decisions such as the location of your soldiers, planning attacks, managing your economy, and how to counter the enemy's moves. Research upgrades by gaining research points each day. Research points unlock new fe…
