Fantastic Guys! it was wonderful to meet you all and I hope you guys are enjoying the colony we shipped out :) and you did indeed catch a supermajor :)

"They'll be butchered and sent off for processing" Damn the reference back to the game is incredible

@nkbm3120 Год назад

Yeah that was top-notch!

@sergioibarra3461 Год назад

yess it was so natural as well

@ice8984 Год назад

Glad to see developers actually taking care of the game by gaining more knowledge and using that knowledge to correct stuff or introduce another specie of ants for us to play

@virgolyx3099 Год назад

I wanted to mention that at 5:00 Liam states that the team forgot about F. rufa parasitizing on F. fusca, but in 2.1 I believe you spawn in with a couple of your first workers being those of F. fusca, along with a dead host fusca queen for early food, implying your queen killed the host and took over the role of queen in the young fusca colony. That detail was honestly what made 2.1 one of my favorites.

@TheUnknown-kw3fl Год назад

That was a last minute change they made when he just realized that.

@TheMasterofBlu Год назад

is it in 2.1 too ? ik in 2.2 you spawn with a black ant queen body next to your queen

Now I want asian marauder ants in the game

@paulgrady7531 Год назад

Me too

@paulgrady7531 Год назад

They’re awesome

@virgolyx3099 Год назад

Me too! They're most likely the most desired ant species to be featured in a DLC, if there ever is one

@maxbennett5412 Год назад

I actually once had some fun coming up with an idea for how they would work that was received well. No comment from the devs and I know it probably will never come into the game but it was fun to think about. It was something along the lines of the majors having low damage output but really high health for their size and cost and the supermajors have really low health for their size and cost but massive damage output. Might seem weird with how that goes but the two synergize by having the majors being able to climb on the supermajors and act as living shields and extra damage output that keep the supermajor safe and doing most of the DPS as the supermajor can't really be damaged or stunned until the majors riding it are killed.

@Ungy5182 Год назад

I agree 100%, or maybe even weaver ants. But I can understand if that would be to hard

@CruelLinksOfPain Год назад

2:00 Are these Pharoh Ants? I thought these were fire ants.

@antanticsuk 11 месяцев назад

They are tetramorium bicarinatum, an inbreeding species originally from asia. Awesome little critters.

@theimmortalgamer8702 Год назад

I like the reference to the new home level when mike is talking about the live feeding

@shaon1412 Год назад

Unfortunate that it happened late, but fortunate that it happened. A nice journey to watch.

@SerafineSilverstream Год назад

Great video, hope you got lots of interest from the folks there!

@RevanEXE- Год назад

I love the work of the devs. They always ask the fans for help and feedback. They also are very good at researching things to make the game realistic. Good work! Keep it up!

@Trassel242 Год назад

I’m so happy to hear there’s even such a thing as an ant convention, my own interest in ants began when I was 4 and learnt about some kind of slaver ant. Some kids get really into dinosaurs, I got really into ants. Playing EOTU makes me feel like I’m that little kid again, you’ve done an excellent job with the game and I can’t wait to see what’s next in store!

@rogue_rmn Год назад

Asian maurauder ants would be my dream ant faction if they could make it into the game. There already my fav ants irl so i would love them.

@paulgrady7531 Год назад

I wish that I could have made it to ant con this year, but I’m stuck in the US😢

Asian Marauder Ants actually can make these HUGE trails from their nest to find food (hey, this reminds me of Army Ants). These foraging activities can last days.

@peterjbill9870 Год назад

That's a super major you are right

@EvilNecroid Год назад

6:20 put those in the game :)

@RishiRaj-nh2lj Год назад

Hi,I have a question to the devs that will you be adding bull ants(Mermecia genus)in the game ?because the game has a screen where you can see the bull ants image along with other ants

@Awesomeclips663 Год назад

did any of the ant queens give you ideas about eotu

@EvilNecroid Год назад

ah aussie meat ants. i used to have some when i was a kid. me and my friend used to stand on top of their nest in thick socks and then pick them off our socks into a jar.

@mygamingaddiction9704 Год назад

Slug Disco team, are we still going to have the tiger beetle (Cicindela dorsalis) in battle arena or in-game? love the game artwork and the game in general.

@barb56 Год назад

Yes I believe they're just removing it from 2x levels but keeping in extra levels and battle arena

@summer_snow684 Год назад

@nkbm3120 Год назад

@antloveforever981 Год назад

You should put Asian marauder ants in eotu it would be amazing and they also nonstop march so it would match the game when you constantly have pheromones😮❤
