This will be a discussion about the Fire Ant demo, here is how to get in the beta if you haven't already done so. [Steam users only] This also shows how to get in the beta. This was only supposed to be on Discord, but hey, we all want fire ants in EotU.
Info taken from here: https://discord.com/channels/765563728333766656/803215288496554034
Here are the steps — are on Discord aswell.
1. Find Empires of the Undergrowth in your Steam library, right-click on it and choose "Properties"
2. Choose the "Betas" tab
3. In the box titled "Enter beta access code to unlock private betas", enter thefirstflame - Code!
4. After the "Access code correct" information appears, make sure you've chosen "Open beta" from the "Select the beta you would like to opt into" drop-down menu
5. Press close - the game will now update to the beta branch
Here are the main features of this demo.
The Promised Land - Your Solenopsis invicta fire ants are trying to reach a bountiful area of the jungle. Build floating bridges to nearby islands by placing a pheromone marker on it, when water allows. New objectives will appear as you complete the existing ones. Beware the bombardier beetles!
Beetles Rise Up! - Free your beetle brethren and destroy their captors. Game knowledge will help you understand which beetles to free from their captors. Destroy all enemies and free all beetles to achieve victory! Your beetles will all follow a single marker.
Current version: 0.2312
Patch Notes:
0.2312 The Promised Land balance changes
- Length of the high water time is longer the longer you play, and longer for easier modes
- Bombardier beetle spawns are lower and increases more slowly on easier modes
- Bridge to the promised land shortened by 2 tiles for all modes
- Easier modes start with more overground small creatures spawning near the nest
- The UG has had cavern spawns balanced for all difficulty modes Fixes
- Freeplay new game will now open on the correct tab
I hope I don't replace Mike's job!
Please DO NOT UPLOAD or share any media about this until August 23rd.
Thank you Slug Disco team for this beta!
