A fun multiplayer game I play. I believe the colonies are based of Camponotus but with disproportionately large supermajors.

It's interesting, and a good way to kill time, but I don't like it for whatever reason

EDIT: You may think it's a great game, so take my advice with a grain of salt

I do enjoy it, not as much as empires of the undergrowth, but it has that multiplayer(me and AntsDakota play some) aspect that is cool.

I personally think it’s much better than the popular .io games like diep.io, slither.io, agar.io, etc.

Pretty fun game, I actually like the mechanics more than I do EoTU, but I don't like the fact it doesn't allow game saves, or some sort of persistent world mechanic in a sandbox mode shared with other players. Hopefully, in the future, it will change.

Every time you play is a separate game, like checkers or chess. I do hope they make improvements as well, though. What would be nice is if it was multiplayer and you could save your colonies. Different species of ants and mobs would be nice, as well.

What does everyone think of simant? It is much more of a strategy game.

Thanks man, that will be a cool day then it happens. If I find one this year I will give it to you. Don't get your hopes up though, because Camponotus tend to live near older homes. And my house is only 13 years old. :yes: It is possible that I might find one somewhere else than my house.  :ok:

One of you will probably find Camponotus this year; they’re common enough.
