Yeah its just classic mobile/colony game setup, build bigger and better and each stage takes a longer period of time to complete that you can of course speed up if you fork over some cash, act now and they will throw in **insert special items here**
I feel like it almost would be more profitable to make games that don’t have as much wait times because people would actually want to play/recommend them
Couple of quick tips: the flag in the lower right is a way point for your soldiers they'll go hang around and defend the area, good for contested resources. Also on the recruit screen the green circle is a repeating order for soldiers so you don't have to micro that when you're in the middle of fighting. Hope this helps. Good luck
I forgot how little you have to start with in the beginning of ther game 😅 it's been 2 years so yeah kinda forgot how pathetic your colony is at the beginning of the game but Drae if you want advice just ask I'll answer the best I can as often as I can
This game could be so good if it didn't have mind-numbing mobile mechanics like micro transactions. With harder difficulty, more gameplay mechanics, etc. It would actually be awesome. As it stands, I'm currently hooked (along with the developer's bee game) but probably not for long like most mobile games. I rather pay $30+ for a full mobile game than play any of the "free" ones.
Drae, I know it’s not this game. But for the fireworks, how didn’t you strap a rocket to the bottom of the nuke and put a delay fuse on the nuke light that and then light the rocket and have the nuke blow up in the air? Please make a one off video of you doing that I want to see it so bad.
Some useful tips: unlock the honey dew chamber to get upgrades like increasing max number of soldiers you can recruit. etc You can only use creatures in pvp. In pvp you can take all soldiers you have, 50 for the start. So make sure you have max soldiers before raiding anyone. The max number of soldiers you can have, can be upgraded with resin. This is a long term progression game, the future upgrade will take 1 week or so to complete, unless you pay with gems lol.
@@Ryan-xh7pe super determined, getting into our house any way the can. I found them in a bread box, in a refrigerator, in a closet, in our cat food supply. We've dealt with invasions every day. Our house is more ant-poison than wood at this point.
This game is the typical mobile game with pat to win microtransactions. Not worth your time. You’ll see how the progression stalls hard once you need a special resource to upgrade your soldiers.
Hey Drae, I’ve never played this game or anything, but would you be able to slaughter all of the red ants, and keep a bunch of soldier ants there to kill any red ants that are rebirthed, then send a bunch of worker ants to steal there resources? Idk if it would be more convenient then getting your own resources tho, also spending soldier ants on the newborns.
Day 266 of asking drae for besiege back also again id like to apologise for this as usually id just leave a comment about the video itself instead of asking for something else. You do great work drae and I appreciate it.
Yeah this game is just an updated version.(not officially). I couldn’t remember the games name until you said it. It’s pretty much the same as simant just with upgrades.
You can auto lay soldiers by pressing the green circle arrow. When infiltrating the red ants I like to place the garrison flag in the chamber & they kill of the red soldiers
I have been playing this and have had a blast, neat to see you trying it! Day 197 of asking Drae if he has played Outer Wilds and to play it if he hasn’t.
I don't know if i'm right or wrong, but this games came out as a mobile game first i think, which is why they have stupid microtransactions and long waiting time... cause it's a mobile game, you're not supposed to stare at it for 8 hour straight.
I remember this. I played it maybe a year ago or so? It was very very grindy, especially later in the game. I didn't have enough patience to get into the more advanced gameplay. I stopped a bit after they added clans. I'm curious if they've changed any of the game mechanics?
Played it a 1 year ago basically 2021 there's new events and stuff I don't know you know it but there's a tanky crab you can get from event and use it to attack another players colony and it's still a very grindy game I don't know what the game mechanics is years ago but I think it's still the same
aw i didn't know this was a phone game until you mentioned it. that "1 hour to finish" thing was really suspicious, so they want you to buy the gems lol
I figured it’s probably pretty easy to be a gaming TH-cam aside from the editing, but I tried to play the lake yesterday and it’s just way too boring for me. Idk how you can sit for hours playing these games, I can do it with no mans sky but even that I get bored with.
Sooooo...this is basicly SimAnt? It looks like SimAnt. And yes I am that old. However...this is SimAnt isn't it? Okay, I've rewatched the video. This IS a SimAnt clone and it's really really close to the original. Don't know about games being that close to whatever inspired them.
This seems to be an interesting game, however the respawning means that the end goal is probably just to get bigger and bigger and bigger.

Yeah, just another pay to get it done faster, exponentially longer wait times for everything as you keep playing.
Over.. and Over..the pheromones..
@@JB-tx5fm well not fully I’ve played it before the game does not take long and is actually pretty entertaining and easy
Reminds me of the old SimAnt game, which was one of my favorites.

Yup I'll help too.
Im new to this game too. Only had it about 1 week
@@TE_53349 if you got questions then ask away
You want to make a drae fan clan?
If you do post the link below I'll join
@@NichtDu I'll see what Drae says then I'll go from there but not a bad idea cuz I've been a "lone wolf" ever since I started
You should check out the quest tab, you get rewards by completing them too
So that’s where the ants in my house came from…. Thanks Drae
Drae! I went to battle and saw your name there and I wasn't sure if it was really you or not so I didn't attack. Turns out it was really you! :D
The problem with mobile games like this is the exponential time (and often resource) costs to force you into MTX.
Okay, only saw this gameplay around halfway, and I already want more lol. It’s kinda interesting, and fun looking
Yea same

I love this series

Yes, I would love to see more of this game.
At least one or two more episodes.

Gotta love micro transactions
@@HawkGaming3721 😂
So this looks almost like a clone of Sim Ant by Maxis back in the day. Just more micromanaging of the colony.
Who knew that having a strong military would be a good thing?
This reminds me of the classic Maxis's SimAnt oh the good days.
I was thinking the same thing
As someone who is currently dealing with a drought that is causing all of the ants in Texas fo go crazy this video is very fortuitous.
Wdym they go crazy?

I seen many TH-camrs play this game. You could play the multiplayer online version.
This is a fantastic game! Super fun.
This game reminded me very strongly of a very old ant colony game on the Mac I used to play as a kid.
I enjoyed this more than I should have... I would like to see lots more of this game lol
This is a super cool game. Please show us more!!
Hey drae a little advice you can move when processing the food and if you kill the spider with the creature chamber you can add it to your army
Pretty sure he already know he can let it join his army. While he was looking at the spider’s dead body
I say play more of this. Seems fun and intresting
if you look at the bottom left, i think that you can make soldier ants to stay around one area if you press the flag thing
This game is the typical mobile game with pat to win microtransactions. Not worth your time. You’ll see how the progression stalls hard once you need a special resource to upgrade your soldiers.
yeah. nothing to see here.
That was so satisfying seeing you crush those puny red ants 🐜
Hey Drae, I’ve never played this game or anything, but would you be able to slaughter all of the red ants, and keep a bunch of soldier ants there to kill any red ants that are rebirthed, then send a bunch of worker ants to steal there resources? Idk if it would be more convenient then getting your own resources tho, also spending soldier ants on the newborns.
You seriously should get all the event stuff like the Emperor scorpions who are very powerful especially if you make it high star
Drae you can go to settings and turn on joystick if helps allot to navigate for mobile players
Verryyyy gooodd
Day 266 of asking drae for besiege back also again id like to apologise for this as usually id just leave a comment about the video itself instead of asking for something else. You do great work drae and I appreciate it.
That sounds.. sarcastisic...
Reminds me of an old Maxis game called SimAnt that came out in 91'! I really enjoyed playing that in my early years of gaming.
SimAnt and SimFarm were my jam
@@kathykautzer603 right! It’s was super fun to play.
Yeah this game is just an updated version.(not officially). I couldn’t remember the games name until you said it. It’s pretty much the same as simant just with upgrades.
@@davidthompson1453 yeah is definitely has more to it. Not big on spending on gems to get stuff faster, but to each their own 😆
Yes! I said the same thing. Looks like a clone of that game with more micromanagement
you never die out
I never expected him to play this game .. I played it like months ago.. I now wish there was more to this game.. it's pretty basic to be honest
As long as the vids are cool can we see another Britannia Roman invasion again
More please! 😍
Love this game!
I definitely would love to see more of this
looks like Empires of the Undergrowth, cool
dont forget to redeem your quests
You can auto lay soldiers by pressing the green circle arrow.
When infiltrating the red ants I like to place the garrison flag in the chamber & they kill of the red soldiers
I have been playing this and have had a blast, neat to see you trying it!
Day 197 of asking Drae if he has played Outer Wilds and to play it if he hasn’t.
Just search it on here? Idk why you have to ask if he has because its all on his channel.
@@fallnarcangle4943 I'm asking if he finished it off camera, he didn't finish it on TH-cam
I have been playing this since it came out, would love to see you play more.
this is super fun to watch
Nice vid, but u should try "Empires of the undergrowth", for pc, if u like ants.
For those wondering how he's playing on PC, he's most likely using Bluestacks Android Emulator
YAY Pocket Ants! pleas more. At least till the cake goes away please
Looks like that one ant mobile game I keep getting ads for but this one is actually good and not garbage
Sound like a fun game
10\10
Do more of this sir drae!
After watching this I proceeded to download and I’m not disappointed 👌
I don't know if i'm right or wrong, but this games came out as a mobile game first i think, which is why they have stupid microtransactions and long waiting time... cause it's a mobile game, you're not supposed to stare at it for 8 hour straight.
Yes I would love more
Once again this guy makes my day
Thumbnail reminds me of that one game with the toy soldiers vs. the bugs. Forgot the name of it
This looks so cool
Resin is the hardest thing to get

Great vid, pls do more of this game
I would like to see more of this game
Drae I just want too let you know I love you so much thank you for everything that you do for us....
Wow, been awhile since I played this. I remember having to wait forever later in the game, as you do in most mobile games. Fun though!
I remember this. I played it maybe a year ago or so? It was very very grindy, especially later in the game. I didn't have enough patience to get into the more advanced gameplay. I stopped a bit after they added clans. I'm curious if they've changed any of the game mechanics?

You should play star citizen I would love to see you play this game
i saw this game on the play store played it on my mobile cuz it was free tho it became boring really quickly
aw i didn't know this was a phone game until you mentioned it. that "1 hour to finish" thing was really suspicious, so they want you to buy the gems lol
I wonder if drae will play grounded after the whole story is released or not at all.
Drae can you answer.
More Ant Game Please!!!
Tame a tarantula!
Hope to see another episode soon
its 1:03 am rn hi from australia
this was cool
Do a Rimworld series
if I'm not mistaken there was a game just like this on MS DOS
yup just looked it up called SIMANT
OMG I love this game so much!
gotta love games where 70% of the screen is blocked by UI elements lol
I have played this game pocket ants
Add the nose back to the ship in raft
yes please
More!!!
Drae i really gonna need you to put out 40 min videos.... seems like very time I get really into it it ends.......
I figured it’s probably pretty easy to be a gaming TH-cam aside from the editing, but I tried to play the lake yesterday and it’s just way too boring for me. Idk how you can sit for hours playing these games, I can do it with no mans sky but even that I get bored with.
It’s funny that I was just playing pocket ants.
So I know who to blame for my new ant infestation... thanks.
Lookin good
Part (2) plz
new SimAnt, nice :)
auto recruit soldier ants, the circle arrow
someone remade sim ants? many people wanted for forever.
now can i have it for pc, is this a mobile game? oO
Sooooo...this is basicly SimAnt? It looks like SimAnt. And yes I am that old. However...this is SimAnt isn't it? Okay, I've rewatched the video. This IS a SimAnt clone and it's really really close to the original. Don't know about games being that close to whatever inspired them.
