As a real-time combat game, "Ant Empire" is significantly different from other games of the same type. This game takes ants as the protagonists. The player will play the role of the ruler of the ant colony, responsible for commanding the ant workers to collect food and mine resources, lead the army to capture other ant nests, build buildings to produce wood and other materials, and take necessary measures to protect the nests. Build a strong army to defend the empire. The background setting of the game is derived from the science fiction novel of the same name. It tells the story that thousands of years before the emergence of humans, ants have formed a social structure similar to human civilization, with their own cities and the art of war.
The purpose of this article is to introduce you to the most important part of this game - the legion. There are many types of ant legions, and each legion has its own unique growth and upgrade path. Below, the author will introduce them one by one.
【Legion Production】
Legion production needs to be carried out after the nest is selected. Except for the base camp, each nest in the early stage can only produce one legion, and the number must not exceed the player's command limit. In the initial stage, players can only command five legions. Once the limit is reached, new legions cannot be produced. If you need to produce other types, you must first return to the nest and destroy the excess legions. As the level increases, the command limit will increase accordingly, and the army can also be expanded by building houses.
【Legion Combat Power】
Although there is no mutual restraint between legion types, there are differences in combat strength. There are a total of five types of legions, and the order of combat power from low to high is: aphids < laborers < warriors < gunners < dung beetles.
It is worth noting that although the gunner's damage is higher, the melee ability is actually lower than that of the warrior, and the long-range damage is higher than that of the gunner.
【Legion Type】
Legions are divided into five categories, and each category of legions can be upgraded. The upgrade path is: basic arms - senior - elite. Players can also directly produce senior troops or elite troops, but the time and food costs required will be higher than upgrading.
Labor: melee unit
You can collect 20 resources, but the food will be lost after entering the battle.
Construction time: 5 minutes. Construction can be accelerated by consuming food.
Laborers are the most basic unit. They can be sent out to collect resources and can also participate in battles, but their combat effectiveness is very low and only higher than that of aphids. When workers participate in combat, collection will be interrupted and the collected materials will disappear.
Gunner: Ranged unit.
Construction time: 5 minutes. Construction can be accelerated by consuming food.
Can be placed in high places to carry out long-range strikes against low-lying enemies.
The gunner is the only long-range combat method in the early stage. The gunner will spray acetic acid from a long distance to hit enemies in the distance. The long-range combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the warrior, but the melee capability is weaker than that of the warrior.
Warrior: melee unit
The widest range of melee units available and can be upgraded.
Construction time: 5 minutes. Construction can be accelerated by consuming food.
Warriors are the strongest of all melee units except the Dung Turtle, and can evolve into senior warriors - elite warriors. The evolved elite warrior will have one more attribute than the previous one - it can speed up when approaching the enemy.
Aphids: Support Troops
Strengthens friendly teammates at close range.
Construction time: 5 minutes. Construction can be accelerated by consuming food.
Aphids are support troops. Within the melee range of Aphids, they can provide all-round support to friendly units and enhance the combat effectiveness and defense of friendly units.
Dung beetle: melee unit
Locks all enemies into melee combat.
Construction time: 5 minutes. Construction can be accelerated by consuming food.
The Dung Beetle is the strongest melee unit in the game. It can lock all places, including the enemy's long-range units, into melee combat. Accordingly, as a restriction, the Dung Beetle cannot be upgraded.
The above is an introduction to all the legion types in "Ant Empire" this time.
