Hi Drae, you gave me great advice a few years ago about BMG I'll never forget: "Why don't you just buy the game and if it doesn't run on your pc, just get a refund." I'm surprised you didn't add "duMbA$s!!" but you're more refined than that. It was something so simple I hadn't even considered because in the real world I don't buy things and return them unless broken. You know how there's a culture of people who "rent" things, returning them after done using them one time like a furniture cleaner or even clothes? That's a part of why things are so messed up. But with Steam it's not that way at all and with you pointing out the obvious, I was able to play BMG after all. Also the other ant game too but that one I did refund.. I liked it but am too old to memorize the controls and key functions to really have much fun, and it was stressful as well in it's own way. Like all my other games, even GTA franchise, I enjoy sustained peace for longer periods of time than 5mins, not always under attack with timed "waves" (San Andreas is only exception, that was fun) or like it's Space Invaders, just waiting for the inevitable (death or game over) vs creating a huge empire to truly go out and conquer vast areas of land maybe including a whole continent or else a good sized island. Have said this before and will say it again in this painfully long post: Drae - I don't know how you pick all these games up so fast, but I sure think it's an incredible trait or skill to possess. Two thumbs up. I'll go ahead and buy this at Christmas, and if too complex, I'll just return for refund within an hr of gameplay. Easy peasy. Drae you tha man. I'll never regret subscribing to your channel. The squirrel suit you wore for the ads to shave your balls (and who even does that? Only the ads by the company were pushing that idea or agenda over and over on yt, hahaha and everyone was scammed into thinking that's what girls like today when in fact they're horrified by it LOL) almost did you in for me.. but I am also a forgiving person too. Mans gotta eat and food isn't free.
That’s what I was expecting where u forage for food and resource and can go inside the nest and fix things etc etc..but nah its more focused on battles so far as my take on it the couple hours im into it. But no doubt its an absolutely good game to have!
This game should have a survival mode. Where you can just explore without commanding the battles. Find food and hunt weaker creatures, use stealth to sneak around stronger ones. The game is cool as is, but to me, the best part looks to be when you get to just wander around.
Same! Queens only hatch males if they are not fertilized during the nuptial flight. And since males don't serve any purpose except to mate, their queen mother starves to death.
Probably would never happen but Drae mentioned something I've wondered about for years. Could a tornado pick up like a tree stump that has an anthill underneath it and take it you know... Miles away... And drop it on the ground undamaged in a new area? Imagine how weird that would be for the ants if they had consciousness. The big wind storm comes and suddenly your house is shaking but you're hiding protecting the eggs then it stops and you go outside and your essentially on a different continent basically lol.
Hey Drae, idk if you're gonna see this but I just came across two great games that I think you'd like to try. One's called "Tin Can" and the other is called "Exhausted Man". Just a heads up, if you think star trucker is hard you're going to love Tin Can and Exhausted Man is self explanatory.
What a cool game I love it family relationships are weird but that is how it works Mom is head of the home colony and her queen daughters have their own bases it's funny
Good day Drae I have been watching some fooster an fisk videos and i think it would be a very good Idea if you and skilly make some videos with fooster and fisk
I think that the heads thing was a distance thing, like heads instead of feet, as ants have points on the end of their legs while having large heads. Just a guess thou.
No, it... it totally is. Drae even showed that, elbeit briefly, because he checked, walked forward a bit, checked again and the didplay was lower. He just never thinks about stuff like that and then just says whatever random thought he has at the time instead of verifying it (which is a really simple test)
Damnit Drae It's not often you play a game that I've friggn Pre ordered! I'm gonna have to postpone the videos you put out for this until I've played a bit.😢 In the meantime I'll just satiate my Drae desires with older videos. No lack of them right
I do wonder if these 2 would co-operate in like a extra optional mission for your collony to learn about a unusual collony of multiple diffrent ant species
I looked up if ants can jump Ants don’t fly except for 1 species that uses it to evade and hunt I didn’t look up if that particular ant is the same as the one in the video, but now it CAN be realistic
I hate ants with a passion, during OSUT, I laid down in a fire ant nest, and they went full berzerk on me. But, this is without a doubt a blast to watch.
The number 103 683rd is the "name" of an ant in a french book "Les Fourmis" by Bernard Werber. She's one of the most important character in the story!! EDIT: I wrote that before seeing the title that tell just that! Sorry!!!!
This has to be the most political ant game I've seen. Literally performing antarian aid missions. "I will be the claw that strikes if I must," is such a good line, and from an ant game??
Why does the ant RTS have the best graphics I have seen in a while.
it might be because you just copied what drae said so you can desperately get attention
Because you might have a crippling eye-related issue, the graphics aren't that great?

Drae on Monday? Am I dreaming?
With enough money many dreams can come true lol. Thank the sponser
Right I was like am I seeing this correctly?
Yeah he probably started the upload friday and youtube is just slow lol
We must be shared dreaming!
I was thinking the same thing
If I had a cent for every ant game drae played I would have a couple of cents.
This game and Empires of the Undergrowth got me so interested in Ants I actually started keeping them. I currently have two small colonies, Messor Barbarus and Camponotus Singularis. Love my babies!
That's so cool, my son wants an ant colony but I have no idea where to begin or what type of ants would be best, he is 11, any recommendations?
@@abcdefgcdefg5178yeah Google it.
Location and species should be a good start.
I'm sure your 11yo can help you

I think “heads” is a unit of distance. 1 head is probably the distance of one ant. More heads means that the ant you’re searching for is further away.
this game is pretty well made def want more of this
the ants go marching one by one
Hoooraa hoooraaa

We ain't reading that
I saw an ad for this game recently and the graphics/gameplay look stellar! Love your videos man, stoked to see you play through this game 😎
A game about ants?!
OF COURSE I want to see more!
Enter scientist meme:
Finally.... Mondraey
At long last! Finally someone I watch picked this game up, I've been oh so curious about it. Thank you sir!
Thisnis such a beautiful game!!!! Thisnis one series i can't wait to see more of!!! Looks amazing!!! #Drae
Awesome content as always thanks for introducing us to different types of games.
This is taking care of us Americans who really need a positive distraction today. Mad love!
just don't be dull headed enough to go out and vote
@@evilswissy ??
Get over it he won majority vote. It’s clearly what Americans want
0:35
Drae: "EVEN BIGGER BEETLES"
Me: "Mushiking" [add enthusiastic voice]
Drae, please please PLEASE do a series on this! My pc can't handle the graphics so I have to enjoy this vicariously 😂
I absolutely love how the ants don't have names, it's numbers.
This game is beautiful! Would love to see more!
That heads count is the measure of distance 😉
HI DREA love your videos so much think you are one of the first youtubers ive been subscribed to since i was a kid love from Norway
Ants. Of all the insets to choose from, an interesting choice
Brings back memories of Sim Ant
That’s what I was expecting where u forage for food and resource and can go inside the nest and fix things etc etc..but nah its more focused on battles so far as my take on it the couple hours im into it. But no doubt its an absolutely good game to have!
love the reference to 103683, the main ant protagonist from Bernard werber's ant trilogy
this game reminds me of away the survival series where u play as a sugar glider. that game looked very pretty and cool. fun to play too.
Your gameplay is determining if I buy this game. Looks good so far. I'll wait for 1 more episode to be sure. 😊
Empires of the Undergrowth + Empire of the Ants = Empire of the Underpants
Drae should play gold mining simulator 2 when it comes out
If you like this, you should give Smalland a try
I literally said to myself after work "Damn it's Monday, Drae won't have a video." Opened TH-cam and saw this. 😂
Nice im so glad you played this game hope you finish the game
i have been waiting for this game, i love ant games
Ofc alot more!❤
I always hyped about this kind of game.
This is cute. Thank to you, VERY funny. Thank you Drae!
Everything the light touches
I would love to see more of this!
🚨🚨🚨 DRAE DRAE DRAE 🚨🚨🚨
-Love the longer videos man!!! And Monday upload??? Whaaaatttt?!?!?
That is all 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁
Awesome looking game!
Ants are so cool
This game should have a survival mode. Where you can just explore without commanding the battles. Find food and hunt weaker creatures, use stealth to sneak around stronger ones.
The game is cool as is, but to me, the best part looks to be when you get to just wander around.
They literally tell you how to Glide at the very beginning of the game and this guy came and figure out that
I love how they got the sex correct. All ants are female unless they are one of the drones meant for breading.
Same! Queens only hatch males if they are not fertilized during the nuptial flight. And since males don't serve any purpose except to mate, their queen mother starves to death.

Amazing game for sure ❤
12:15 What is this? A giant fortress for ants?! 😗
Awesome a MonDrae video! 😊😮😊
I liked sim ant and sim farm back in the day😊😊😊😊.
Hey Drae, idk if you're gonna see this but I just came across two great games that I think you'd like to try. One's called "Tin Can" and the other is called "Exhausted Man". Just a heads up, if you think star trucker is hard you're going to love Tin Can and Exhausted Man is self explanatory.
This game is beautiful
Butterflys bees and all in between wasps get energy from sugars which is highly valuable to ants.
What a cool game I love it family relationships are weird but that is how it works Mom is head of the home colony and her queen daughters have their own bases it's funny
this was great but Drae on a Monday threw me off but glad I could watch it though
Good day Drae I have been watching some fooster an fisk videos and i think it would be a very good Idea if you and skilly make some videos with fooster and fisk
A snail in the hand is worth 2 butterflies in the bush 😂
The "heads" thing is to indicate how far away they are.... its distance lol
Cartographer: noun. a person who makes maps.
7:42 I thought they were called majors. I do watch Ant Canada.
I think that the heads thing was a distance thing, like heads instead of feet, as ants have points on the end of their legs while having large heads. Just a guess thou.
No, it... it totally is. Drae even showed that, elbeit briefly, because he checked, walked forward a bit, checked again and the didplay was lower. He just never thinks about stuff like that and then just says whatever random thought he has at the time instead of verifying it (which is a really simple test)
Bro says RTS and the first thing that pops in my head is return to station lmao welcome to amazon life 😂
Am I reading this right!??!? Monday..... and drae....... a rare combo
Damnit Drae
It's not often you play a game that I've friggn Pre ordered!
I'm gonna have to postpone the videos you put out for this until I've played a bit.😢
In the meantime I'll just satiate my Drae desires with older videos.
No lack of them right
I would think the heads meant how many ants have used that trail
Love your video drae
I really like this game
Heads are some kind of metric system like meters or yards
Is it just me or is this basically Empire of the Undergrowth?
Edit: Nevermind I see it is different
I do wonder if these 2 would co-operate in like a extra optional mission for your collony to learn about a unusual collony of multiple diffrent ant species
Dang the graphics is so good
*are
I literally just watched the trailer to this😂
Secand time when episode come out at monday,and i did think drae play this one
I looked up if ants can jump
Ants don’t fly except for 1 species that uses it to evade and hunt
I didn’t look up if that particular ant is the same as the one in the video, but now it CAN be realistic
Head are probably distance unit for ants
Heads is a measure of distance for Ant! ie it would take 1000 ant heads to go to that tree.
Ant games reminds me of lemmings
❤❤❤❤
Been awhile since the last Monday upload
Brothers of the mine rejoice sing sing with me… I am an ant and I’m digging a hole
I hate ants with a passion, during OSUT, I laid down in a fire ant nest, and they went full berzerk on me. But, this is without a doubt a blast to watch.
The big head ants are called Majors
I think heads may be a unit of measurement, like feet or meters
so i just saw this was coming to xbox soon, and was wondering how it played. id like to see more, as right now, im still thinking of getting it or not
Monday uploud no way🥰
I don’t feel small enough as an ant
The number 103 683rd is the "name" of an ant in a french book "Les Fourmis" by Bernard Werber. She's one of the most important character in the story!!
EDIT: I wrote that before seeing the title that tell just that! Sorry!!!!
Interesting. Actually looks legit and thats really nice given the flood of COMPLETE GARBAGE mobile ads featuring ants
@AntsCanada….adds game to giant rainforest vivarium
Ant mmo would go hard
Tbh yeah being a single small worker of a entire player controlled hive and listening to your queen sounds very interesting
This has to be the most political ant game I've seen. Literally performing antarian aid missions. "I will be the claw that strikes if I must," is such a good line, and from an ant game??
"heads" are the ants measure of distance, i.e. 700 yards.
DRAE YOU SHOULD PLAY TINY GLADE
Can we have a series on this?
clearly you have not played smalland if you like this you will love that one
I just wish this game wasnt so linear, I like my grand strategy rts games most
❤
a monday upload?? W
Sound cuts out for about 15 seconds.
the heads thing is distance
Please tell me we’re still getting a video tomorrow.
We got an ant simulator before GTA 6
