Significant optimisations to textures
Fixed exploding ant ability Persistent Secretions - damage is now 50% of base explosion damage over 4 seconds as intended
DPS values for new colony creatures now show when selecting them to build. Please note that these values do not account for the explosion as the DPS on that would skew the results in a way that is not representative of the actual creatures regular attack
Myrmecia ereptor now shows in the end-game victory cinematic animation if it is selected as the colony appearance
Swapped position of rufa and atta in custom colony setup
Queen danger termite voice line now plays for both termite types
Removed falloff from exploding ant damage so it now does the same damage at the edge of the explosion as it does in the centre
Exploding ants and termites are no longer revivable by Matabele medics if they have exploded
Fixed hat position for the two ereptor queens
Myrmecia ereptor now appears in the level selection screen
Army ants food items have been better hidden in Front Line and No Ants Land

"Your queen has set up home beneath a rotting log. She is fat, and vulnerable. Her first brood will need to move quickly if the colony is to survive. Their priority now is to find food, and there is plenty around; but there are other hungry creatures in the undergrowth. The workers will need to be vigilant."

Empires of the Undergrowth is an ant colony management game, in a fast-paced real-time strategy style. The player excavates their nest underground, constructing tunnels and chambers to store food and raise brood. On the surface, the ants claim territory, gather resources, overwhelm fearsome arachnids and clash with other colonies. Nest design, army size, composition and attack timing are key to securing victory.

Carve out and construct your underground nest to suit your strategy
Engage in fast-paced colony versus colony combat above ground
Play as different ant species and explore their unique traits and weaknesses
Encounter and overpower dangerous beetles, arachnids and other awesome arthropods
Grow your pet formicarium over time by completing missions
