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 controlled by the player in the Ereptor Hierarchy, Fusca Soldiers are the swarming melee soldiers.
It costs more food to plant but it pays for itself by being a staple soldier and capable asset to any army. What it has over the worker is that its attack speed is higher, and when upgraded can deal much higher damage and attack faster while also enduring more hits than the worker can ever do. The Fusca Soldier is the workhorse of the Fusca empire, its a capable ant with average health and an average attack strength. Don't rely on them for warfare, but if necessary they are more than capable of acting as soldiers in large numbers. Unlike Ereptor's Workers though, Fusca workers tend to be also capable soldiers, as i've personally noticed that workers can deal slightly more damage and are best used in large numbers against single enemy targets. 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. they are Worker and Soldierįormica Fusca's worker is a basic ant, it performs all the functions of the workers, similiar to Ereptor's worker. However, workers should only be used for attacking or defending as a last resort, as they much prefer to do their duties as egg carriers to the queen while the soldiers do the real fighting.Īll other species of ants that Ereptor can use are covered later on, and will have a (Ereptor) word next to the ant type's name.įormica Fusca is the first ant introduced to us in the game, and while Formica Fusca has very little diversity, only two ant types to the colony, it fullfills the purpose in the Ant universe and the game, to the tutorials and basics in the game and the Undergrowth as an empire.įormica Fusca's Queen is just a giant fat ant that sits there and does nothing, she lays eggs and if she dies the colony diesĪs for the two Ants available to Fusca. They are needed and despite their small size, low health, and weak attacks, can defend themselves if their numbers are high enough. 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. The first and Only ant available to Ereptor at the start, the ereptor worker fullfills two jobs crucial to the colony's survival and thriving.
#EMPIRES OF THE UNDERGROWTH ALL CREATURES FOR FREE#
Or she can restore her health and fully plant and release a new group of ants from their nursery tiles for free She can stun enemies around her and in the whole nest for a period of time She 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 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.
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% 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.įormica Ereptor's queen is like all other Queens, a giant ant that sits in the center of your colony and does nothing by herself. Where Ereptor's 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.
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. The Queen of the Species at first starts out rather pathetic compared to what it's name suggests, only capable of producing a single type of ant at first, the worker.
Formica Ereptor, the Gene Thief Ant Species, not a real ant species and only exists in the game, is the player's controlled ant species.
