Reactions: deepstrasz
Introduction:
Defend from the ants is a map in which your goal is to survive long enough while building structures in order to defeat the Queen Ant.
You and your friends will play as the beetles, creatures which can fight, but are better working at digging or building structures.
Death is not the end, beetles carry a soul, losing it will not lead to game over unless there is no one with one.

Terrain:
Defend from the ants places stones in the map randomly and the ground is dirt so players can read what is happening easily.

Gameplay:
Defend from the ants main goal is to kill the Queen Ant, but starting resources aren't enough to achieve this quest, so players will have to farm rocks as much as possible, most of the time endangering themselves to the constant swarms of the attacking ants. Building walls, placing towers or training units to defend your base is important in order to protect you from the enemies, which will slowly grow in numbers and in strength. The builder, can become strong too, he is able to learn some strong abilities which can improve the offensive or the defensive aspects, depends on your playstyle.

Soul:
Beetles have a soul, death will reduce your builder' stats and you will lose it, but you can still play, from that point, aggro will be reduced and others who weren't yet defeated will draw more attention, when everybody dies at least once, the game is going to finish and you will be defeated.

Thanks to:
Grey Knight for the Bullet model, which I used to turn black the background in the loading screen.

So, it's a nice underground survival map with little emphasis on exploring and more on constant defense and rock breaking. However, I feel there could be much more to do or have. There is no real unit variety especially for the players. Black ants are...

Black ants are really powerful. Maybe if you play full house you can do something against them but in 1 player, it's kind of impossible.

Approved.
