And I'm still too busy and using an old video card (MSI NVIDIA GeForce
GTX 750 Ti (N750TI-2GD5/OC; 2 GB of VRAM) so I can't play it for now. :(
Maybe I will finally play it in a decade when it is free and have better
hardwares. Ha! :P

Maybe we should all chip in and get Ant what he needs to play his
family game.  Or maybe Spalls will find something good at the
dumpsters for Ant.

The dumpsters have been sadly quite empty recently. I think the
building staff is on to me and hoarding the good stuff for themselves
inside rather than leaving it on curb.

Did your previous good stuff include good video cards though? :p

Argh. You deserve to be staked out in the desert and covered with
honey for that pun.

Hahah.


As to the game itself...

Firstly, there's a demo for those not sure if it's for them:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3062270/Empire_of_the_Ants__Demo/

Beyond that... well, the visuals are the game's biggest hook (and the
bugs, if you're into that sort of thing). But what little the trailers
show of the gameplay just doesn't look all that interesting. At best
it seems a rather humdrum RTS; some of its mechanics (riding a giant
snail? or leading armies of ants against armies of beetles?) seem
outright silly (and in direct opposition to the ultra-realistic theme
the visuals suggest), and apparently everything is done in
third-person mode, requiring you to shepherd your forces everywhere?

It just seems to lack any novelty or sophistication beyond its
graphics. I can't personally get excited about it.

So, you're not a RTS fan?
