Age of Ants
Age of Ants is a demake of Age of Empires II (with an ant/bug retheme, why not, it's small),
featuring:
1 map with 4 possible starting locations
Up to 2 allied AI opponents with 3 difficulty modes
9 units, 8 buildings, 12 tech upgrades (most are repeatable)
Up to 99 active units per player
AoE2 controls & behaviors (let me know if something seems off, it's been a while)
Savefiles¹ (save in the pause menu to generate a screenshot, drag and drop to load)
Original soundtrack
wololoooo
Defeat the enemy queen to win!
It's playable on:
desktop with mouse (best experience, download here)
mobile/tablet (on bbs the page might scroll around - for a better experience try playing on
itch)
handheld console
When the game first launches, open the pause menu and select the appropriate controls mode.
¹there are some caveats with savefiles, see the note on itch
controls
I tried to stay as faithful to AoE2 controls as possible, but if you've never played or you
need a refresher, check out the gifs below. If you prefer, there are also video versions
embedded on itch (that way you can pause etc).
