About Ant Empire: Colony Builder
Dig chambers layer by layer and watch your nest come alive: workers carry leaves and water through the tunnels, the queen lays eggs, the brood hatches, and warm light drifts down through the soil as the days and the seasons turn.
WHAT YOU DO
• Dig and upgrade chambers: granary, nursery, cistern, fungus garden, barracks, crystal mine, pheromone chamber and porter hall
• Grow the queen to raise your population and reach deeper soil
• Send ants on expeditions across the garden and steer a short run as they go
• Always one clear next goal, plus a short goal for every session
• Daily missions with a chest, weekly challenges and a seasonal festival
• Fill the Colony Album, earn achievements and collect your queens
• Send a young queen on her nuptial flight to found a new colony at a new nest site — every site has its own landscape and rules
• Grow your Dynasty, a lineage bonus with no ceiling
• Tap the visitors: golden beetles, worms and seed rain bring small surprises
• Decorate your queen and colony with cosmetics bought with crystals you earn by playing
CALM BY DESIGN
No timers shouting at you, no paywall. The colony keeps working while you are away and greets you with a summary. Battery-friendly: the scene slows down while you just watch and stops completely behind menus.
FAIR AND OPTIONAL
• Videos only when you choose: double a welcome-back summary, bring an expedition home at once or add half again to the daily chest. No pop-up ads, no banners.
• Optional in-app purchases: crystal packs, a one-time Founder's Pack and the permanent Royal Seal. Nothing is locked behind them.
• Cloud backup protects your save — turn it off with one tap or delete the server copy any time — and a recovery code moves your colony to a new device.
• Anonymous usage analytics help us improve the game; switch them off in Profile.
Portrait, one hand, any moment. Plays in English, Turkish, German, French, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Hindi and Portuguese.
What’s new
Version 2.0.3 · Updated October 14, 2026
Ant Empire 2.0.3: the “Watch a video: ×2” button on the welcome-back screen works again. After a purchase you now see exactly what you got. Faster first minutes: early Queen upgrades cost less and something new happens more often. Better nights: the first hour of a night away counts at full speed. Daily missions show up after your first steps, festival cosmetics can now be earned, and “Claim all” collects every ready reward. Tablet layout, app name in your language, many fixes.
