Trivia

  • Myrmecia ereptor was an exclusive reward for backers who supported over 35£. It is purely cosmetic.
  • The original story of the game involved a scientist who followed an Formica ereptor queen on its migration. The story was meant to be based on an island with a variety of environment and ant species that shouldn't exist in the same place. The gene-thief ant colony expanded through the island, killing rival ant colonies and gaining their desirable traits.
