@@Levington.mainchannel sure did, I was playing that level for hours, and I got so powerful that even the narrator said I was unstoppable, but once I killed the bullfrog I lost to all of those darn amphibians
Kill the ants at the bottom of the map, steal their aphids, then use the resources you get from massacring all of them to kill the bigheaded ants before they can make any majors
True, the energetic tempo and instruments really describes how you need to expand and focus throughout this level. It really encapsulates the difficult gameplay but also how powerful fire ants really are.
This level is really the perfect example of: Night 1 - you stay quiet, and you are the prey. Night 3 - you roam around, everybody else bcomes the prey.

I do not speak English, if something is written strange it is the google translator. This work has moved me, I can not believe that they have not achieved musical fame, all famous artists do excellent works, but, they do not compare with this work of classical music which you will never stop listening to over and over again, the two variants for each theme adapt to what you want and I highlight this because of the precision it has to change from one theme to another. Please never give up because there is a great community that will never get tired of supporting you. The best game I've ever played. The best music I've ever heard and the best experience listening and playing this incredible and wonderful game. Thank you for reading
I have played this game for way too many hours now, and I still listen to the soundtrack weekly. Slug Disco, you made the most extraordinary music tracks in all of video game history.
This became my "standard battle" vs lizardfolks in my rpg campaign lol. It worked very well to set the jungle mood and it builds tension pretty nicely.
this is insanely good. absolutely love all the music coming from the new levels. That being said, Front Line (Action) is and will probably remain the best song yet.
I onestly think these new levels are the best added until now. The Fire ants are exactly how i imagined them: Glass Cannons. They hit hard in numbers but damn they go down just as fast. Magnificent work with these levels guys. Music Is beautiful and mechanics are Easy to learn but hard to get around the envoirment. About to tackle the formicarium challenge 4, i'm expecting to battle huge opponents. Love this music 🤟❤️
“Staving off another night of attacks, the invicta colony once again proves its strength. Despite this victory, yet one obstacle still stands in its way. Ever present, the bullfrog looms over the ants. *The beast must be defeated.*
My, the new instrument, the Güiro, is sounding absolutely beautiful mixed in with the woodwind, and adds that bit of extra detail we all need in our lives
I like to think the levels happen around the same time like the spring tide in 2.2 and the collapsed dusky ant tunnels in 2.1 probably from the spring tide
Honestly really fits well especially when in combat with the amphibians of the area, but 1:47-2:20 using the rachet thing sounding like frogs croaking is dope
4:37. Unfortunately for this queen, amphibians and carnivorous plants are not the only things that lurk in these marshes. Pacific Giant Centipedes, Scolopendra Subspinipes, also wander these areas in search of an easy meal. Their giant size and many legs make them a tough and fast opponent for any who stand in their way. If the fire ants are to keep them at bay, they will need to quickly organize a group and take the fight to them, or else the centipede will ravage their nest…
An ant has fallen victim to a centipede. The venom will quickly seep through the ant’s veins and kill it from the inside, giving the centipede an easy meal Through grit and cunning, the ants manage to take down a centipede. While it’s shell will not provide much of anything, the soft lower body has enough mass to support a colony for days at a time. The ants will work quickly to pick it apart.
@@miguelpedraentomology6080 Rising Tide and Queen of the Hill have a special place in my heart aswell. Oh, and Hibernation, with the different Christmas carols mixed in! But all the levels have absolutely PHENOMENAL music.
This is by far the best soundtrack for a video game I’ve ever heard, it’s rare that I end up loving a game soundtrack so much that I go out of my way to look it up and listen to it. I love all the different instruments used and how unique and energetic it is! All the noises make it sound like there’s a lot going on and it’s music to my adhd brain. I can’t wait to listen to the ost for the next levels
Heck yes! When I played this level the first thing I thought was “when will this be available?” Amazing job. And on the topic of music, is this soundtrack getting on Apple Music a possibility? I want to add this to my playlist.
Fire Ants are my favorite faction to play, and this absolutely feels like their theme. After the tense survival levels of the black ants, the defensive grind of the wood ants, and securing your supply lines as the Leafcutters, you now get a chance to flip from defense to offense. This song doesn't mount as much tension as the other songs, because you're no longer so worried about losses. If you're anything like me, you'll take Pervasive every time, and you experience being the destructive horde carving out a niche from the local ecosystem You reach critical mass before too long - too numerous to be challenged, and the song revels in your power. To paraphrase a certain chemistry teacher, for once, you aren't in-danger, you *are* the danger. Fire Ants are considered some of the most successful invasive species in the world, and this song makes you feel it. It's a welcome taste of power before the brutal bullfrog battle, and the tense Biblical apocalypse to come in the next level
Very well written, but Vigorous stomps Pervasive and you are still very much defending. The frogs that burrow in and the carnivorous plants wreaking your ants making food harder to obtain. It IS very annoying and quite difficult playing this level on Hard unlike the other ant colonies. You are struggling, UNTIL you build up enough of a force that you can no longer be reckon with. That's the same for all the colonies though, not just the fire ants. The more numerous the more deadly. Fire ants are just... they move fast af.
@mikewil7571 Oh, yes, of course there's still a lot defense - that did slip my mind during writing this, haha, the amphibians are a pretty big threat. But honestly, being able to take them on added to the feeling of power - the greatest beasts of the Undergrowth fall before my empire, even if they take their toll. To be honest, I never saw the appeal of Vigorous - I'm open to being proven wrong, but in the attritional warfare of ants, leaning into the numbers advantage of fire ants by going Pervasive and being able to lose my entire first wave with little consequence always seemed like the natural choice
@@SHARKY_009 That's what I'm thinking - when ant warfare is so attritional, being able to spare more of those precious food supplies when replacing losses is a huge advantage
@@SHARKY_009 Vigorous is irrefutably best according to general consensus and it's already been proven through tests. You won't need "free ants" if you know how to play the game. If anything, you'd require more damage output due to the constant attacks your nest faces as Fire Ants. In other words, your opinion is flawed and vastly outweighed.
Overwhelmed with burning venom, the bullfrog finally succumbs to the might of the fire ants. Utterly spent, it collapses on the hill side, leaving the victors free to consume its body. Unbeknownst to the ants, the presence of the bullfrog was keeping many other local amphibians at bay. The power vacuum it left behind is attracting a host of salamanders and frogs eager to take its place. The ants should go to ground quickly, and prepare for the imminent chaos.
I never played Empires of the Undegrowth or even heard of it before but this randomly landed in my YT music autoplay after the Humans-B-Gone OST which I think is a very funny case of the algorithm actually working and giving me a recommendation that's actually related to the thing I was watching. This is an absolute bop and now I'll have to listen to the whole soundtrack.
being thrown head first into this level and not knowing how it works was one of- if not the most- stressful experiences ive had from this game haha. still one of my favorites especially because of the track. theres so many pleasant percussive sounds and then that melody that kicks in??? ough!! the love put into this soundtrack is insane
In terms of sheer quality of content the fire ant update is unparalled. I truly believed that it would be impossible for you guys to surpass the leaf cutter update but i was thankfully proven very wrong, this update was just as good if not better when you factor in the greater enemy variety, the addition of Titans (finally! been waiting for that for years), The impeccable level design, and imaculate soundtrack. I can only imagine how incredible the 5th and final major update will be if this trend continues. Now if only we could get updates on schedule...
its probably gonna be epic too, maybe even surpass it, because there wont be 2, but 3 new story levels, with one of them having the most colonies out of all current levels (6 colonies, 1 more than hibernation
For some reason i can hear the worker soldier and queen theme in this one like 0:00 is worker theme 1:47 is the soldier theme, and then 2:44 is the queen, can you all hear it to
POV: your tier 3 200 fire ants are eaten by 3 toads that are now attacking ur queen
Lol
Imagine that but the titans could enter your nest
Nope, I lost nearly 1000 ants to a ton of toads and salamanders🤣😭
@@Tinnerito man that sucks
@@Levington.mainchannel sure did, I was playing that level for hours, and I got so powerful that even the narrator said I was unstoppable, but once I killed the bullfrog I lost to all of those darn amphibians
this hits harder than the bullfrog destroying my entire colony with one big slap.
DAMN BOI HE THICC
@@GamesWorkshopsFlyingCircus ...The narrator announced many times that it's a female. So correct yourself, pleb.

@@GamesWorkshopsFlyingCircus The narrator stated the bullfrog being a female. You can correct yourself now.
@@mikewil7571 🤓
The amount of unique instruments they can slam in one ost and still make it sound legendary is surprising
Exactly how do they do it
the sound team is also just 1 person
they slam more instruments into the soundtrack than bullfrog slams ants
This theme perfectly matches the Chaos of protecting aphids from 2 separate ant colonies.
Kill the ants at the bottom of the map, steal their aphids, then use the resources you get from massacring all of them to kill the bigheaded ants before they can make any majors
Good to see you heolx, yeah that was chaos especially with only workers.
@@MrAnt-sf2sk I did that when the game first came out lol
@@MrAnt-sf2sk not any at all, as soon as you fight them they start to produce supersoldiers

when does the guiro play?

That moment when you're watching the little black ants be eaten by dwarf salamanders then they suddenly come at you
Liam has outdone himself with this one
This song is freaking phenomenal. Thanks for continuing to make bangers in this wonderful ant game.
I am very curious to see the 5.X tracks!

4:01
If you listen closely, you can hear A Bridge Too Far's action theme
I like to think the levels happen around the same time like the spring tide in 2.2 and the collapsed dusky ant tunnels in 2.1 probably from the spring tide
1:47 my fav part
bass clarinet and bassoon carry this song. seriously one of the best video game soundtracks *ever*

Again, another phenomenal ost by slug disco
Which is just amazing
2:00, 2:45 and 4:55 are some of the best parts of the song
that's like 100% accurate to my own opinion wtf
@@jagarsuparcool lol
Dont forget the intro part as well

This beats hibernation and queen of the hill's OSTs by a lot, it is really good!
How about the Jungle Night Theme and the Front Line theme?
that felling when you being ambushed by 50 soldiers of both colonies and your down to 30 level 2 pervasive soldiers 2:32-2:43
This soundtrack is honestly my favorite out of all the soundtracks. 3.2 action used to be my favorite..
Overwhelmed with burning venom, the bullfrog finally succumbs to the might of the fire ants. Utterly spent, it collapses on the hill side, leaving the victors free to consume its body.

Oh my god stop all the others were already godly and this is just soo good!
Its like the song will fit in any mission but it just the best for those type of missions thats just amazing
2:42 definetly best part

I just love this music! My favourites are this and the front line night action theme.

3:29 objectively the best part of the song
I really liked the owl hooting in the leafcutters' night action theme. Hopefully future soundtracks will include ambient noise.
they added a few bird calls and alligator mating calls during day
Me stealing aphids from native pheidole morrisii colonies:
Ohh the music alone is enough to convince me to buy this game!
For some reason this one makes me think of "The Princess and the Frog", but maybe it's because of the huge ass bullfrog-
When I saw this release, I jumped up panting of excitement, and I'm still very excited for the safe theme too!!😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
do i get a copyright warning or copystrike if i use your music in my vids?
Amazing as always. Can't wait for 4.2, my favorite over 2.2 and 3.2
Final, an epic theme I can add to my music list
1:43 is my favorite part just like in how to play as fire ants
Same
A toad has
Tunneled into the nest!

This is my new favorite song. This, and hibernation action theme are amazing!!!
i replayed the level so many times just to hear these sweet tunes blast my ears as i conquered
i've been waiting months for this upd
1:42 really starts to get good
Just a pinch of Imperial March in my ant game
Me having pet ants and put empires of undergrowth music when they hunt
It's finally here.
This is nice music to jam to while the little black ants steal everything from me:)
i love this theme soo much
fire as usual my fellows
I made 300 fire ant soldiers in cold blood and 100 died because of the American bullfrog, I did it in insane mode😎😎
This is really good.
i genuinely wanna know, holong did this take to make?
For some reason i can hear the worker soldier and queen theme in this one like 0:00 is worker theme 1:47 is the soldier theme, and then 2:44 is the queen, can you all hear it to
This track is so good it is the first comment I've ever left on TH-cam. Your game is great and thank you so much for the amazing music!
Hey I’ve noticed the -1 levels are usually calm music while the -2s are more “epic” intense tracks
God I love this track so much, really makes me emotional.
My favorite moment starts at about 1:48
Finally! I'm so happy!
One of the most incredible soundtracks in any game honestly
best theme ever
this one is just awsome!
incredible.continue.
Yes we need more!
This game is about ants , it is not about to listen the best song in the world
This is my favorite theme
So down and Earthy! I love this games soundtrack!
Very good!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'll be back tomorrow then imma play this level again
When your entire nest gets raided by a whole swarm of amphibians.
I don’t know much about music, but this is a musical master piece!
absolute bop
Exactly as I described it when stealing it for the "How to Play as Fire Ants" video
I listened to this track when I was reading the story "Of ants and dinosaurs"
The beats YOOO
I love this song 😭😭😭😭
Not the fire ants ost being equally as fire
1:47 i think the best part of the soundtrack
Yea, something about 1:47 sounds like some sort of imperial march or smth
This is my favourite along side 3.2's action theme
100k views!!
THANK YOU! For uploading these amazing OST!
Yay
DOOOD THIS IS FIRE AS HELL
