A First Look At EMPIRE OF THE ANTS...

[@WishYouLuck1991]

For a minute thought this is gonna be whole documentary about ants voiced by Fooster, and i was ready for it

[@Halfrican16]

Bro same.

[@joihall1708]

That would be so good honestly

[@tomasc6]

Me too, i was strapped in! 🤣

[@SilverTwinFTW]

I would be so down for a Fooster documentary!!! Some say the next Morgan Freeman🤔

[@Halfrican16]

@@WishYouLuck1991 yo tell me not! He should be the next one to do those animal documentaries! Let’s get this man paid! Lol

[@THEGRUMPTRUCK]

Fun fact, some species of ant can physically jump quite high for their size, and they can survive falls from almost any height. Their bodies cannot achieve a fatal terminal velocity.

[@DarkWarriorZ710]

Kinda like Trap-jaw ants.

[@pcdeltalink036]

This is a heck of a tangent for me but I remember learning about such things from an Animorphs book many years ago. I don't remember which one but they had morphed to cockroaches and one pointed out that they literally did not weigh enough to die to due falling.

[@martinrolecek8837]

More fun facts ants can't freeze to death. Once thrif body temperaturd drops too low their system goes to hibernation until it's warms enough again.

[@Rogers1000]

Yeah almost any insect cannot achieve death terminal velocity, not enough weight in them to smash themselves to bits

[@angelocortez8302]

they can if you throw them hard enough

[@neo_treble116]

What do you call an ant who fights crime? A vigil-ant! *Im gonna escort myself to the exit now..

[@GothicPhantom01]

I laughed at this, so I'll escort myself out too 😂

[@Marz-sd4ps]

Yea ill show u both the door

[@miriampraus2740]

I honestly laughed way too much at this hahahah ah thank you!! I needed this today

[@Dan_D_Lion]

😂 Dw I will close the door from outside for you guys

[@theomnioni69]

see you from across the street guys ! 🫡

[@kadenfreeman8125]

I love the fact that you put facts about ant before playing the game. Love of happiness from Canada 🍁 Also this game just made me more appreciative of ants and how cool they actually are

[@H3R2HEL]

If you like ants and insects, watch antscanada

[@inSAMniak]

I honestly thought that Empire of the Ants was just a new version of that phone game I've seen ads for. Even seeing a thumbnail from Fooster about this game has alleviated all of my confusion. Def gonna check this out now

[@gardenthefermentingsound6218]

Same here. I thought it was that generic city builder pay 2 win mobile game

[@Stinger6682]

Sadly I wish this game was the mobile ants game. I’ve played it for 2 years now. 🫤

[@joeboyung1302]

Pretty funny you can find ants everywhere except the continet that says ANTarctica lol

[@princessfairytroll]

I was waiting for him to make this pun and was so disappointed! 😂

[@THEGRUMPTRUCK]

I believe the ant you play, as well as the warriors, are Indian Jumping Ants. The ranged ants look lile C. Striatula, a species of ant that can co-exist and cooperate with other ant species and can fire projectile attacks to kill other stuff like termites.

[@Bipolar_Iz_Bad]

I never even heard or saw 'em. I didn't even kno ants could jump like spiders

[@Jayspun]

3:07 🐜 more fun facts.. just because I watched an ant farm video and got hooked 😂 queens and kings are born with wings for their nuptial flight to mate and after the female finds a safe place to start her colony which will all come from that one interaction between king and queen!! The queen then will eat her wings to make a soup to feed her first set of babies which only live a few weeks!!! They have the very important job to search for food and water for the queen and new babies!! Each batch of babies get stronger and they’ll have workers, majors, super majors!! Ants are actually kinda cool! Just not as cool as Fooster of course 😎

[@ramtigerfalcon8387]

More facts. The majority of Ants seen are primarily female. The queen CHOOSES the type of ant produced including its size , sex, functionality and whether or not it had wings. Ants have 2 stomachs. One communal one personal.

[@theong9454]

was it ant canada or another channel

[@Jayspun]

@@theong9454 that’s one of the channels I got hooked on but homemade ecosystems is another great one because his narrative is hilarious 😆

[@PapWhiskyMooMoo]

i wouldnt mind 20.000.000.000.000.000 Foosters though, then we could all have a personal Fooster

[@Jayspun]

@@PapWhiskyMooMoo are you Santa? Cuz I’m pretty sure that was on everyone’s Christmas list this year 😍 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@volkswagon1966]

If you could find one of those Hippo eggs your ant could eat for decades. Love the content keep it up.

[@PackratPearl]

😅😂🤣 💕

[@Jayspun]

8:25 another fun fact lol if fire ants fall in the water, they’ll actually swim to each other and form a raft!!

[@mattcolorz]

Can we appreciate the music in the game for a second? It's magical!

[@dongminrodriguez]

I've never been so early before. I'm always excited for any of Fooster's uploads and I'm gonna have a great time with this one, thank you for uploading!!!

[@TinCole]

eat his ass too

[@absolutelyfookinnobody2843]

Why are you being weird. Early or not it doesn't make you special. People who say shit like that, give off stalker vibes... Hmm, maybe you are "special" then

[@nyxmercury9475]

​@absolutelyfookinnobody2843 it's really not that serious, mate. there's nothing wrong with what they said. let them enjoy things

[@AxelPersson-qp2tl]

Depletes are the ants that store food in the one stomach and shares it for the colony when there is little food and the oher is for themselves

[@DemonTime08]

Just be glad insects became small because if ants were just the size of a medium size dog nothing would survive

[@UnicornTears12]

Right? Ants outnumber us like 2 million to 1. If they were dog sized it would be all Planet of the Ants up in here.

[@9HighFlyer9]

​@@UnicornTears12 There wouldn't be enough room.

[@UnicornTears12]

@@9HighFlyer9 if only ants could like dig under the earth or something. No, that's crazy talk.

[@9HighFlyer9]

@@UnicornTears12 I think you underestimate how big 4 quadrillion is compared to 8 billion. There needs to be room for other plants and animals to support an ecosystem.

[@UnicornTears12]

@9HighFlyer9 dude, it was just a joke. It's really not that deep.

[@AyasHi_]

This looks so good! I love games that have many different types creatures. And the variety in insects are insane. This game has so much potential

[@SilverTwinFTW]

@Fooster made me think I was watching a Sir David Attenborough documentary at first. And I have to say, it was quite pleasant!! 👏🏼

[@Sopimop]

Greetings from Germany! You're the only gaming channel I watch. Love your vibe and voice.

[@robbantheman84able]

And I am from Sweden. He's good

[@Ethanhollimould]

I'm playing this game aswell I'm really enjoying it and I'm glad you started playing it 😮😊❤

[@kdaddy9229]

19:55 I’m already pumped for this to be a series 🐜

[@Gaminfish54]

you should play more ancestors man. that game is awesome its such a good game

[@Fizzbin25]

Hey Fooster, that was cool. Enjoyed the look of this game. Also your Sir David bit at the beginning was groovy. As always young lad, be well, be safe and be good.

[@thefoosterchannel]

😂 thanks Fizz

[@G3RARDB3AR]

40:58 "what's happening?, let's send those guys here first" fooster casually ignoring the nest he just walked past being decimated behind him.

[@kimnielsen3430]

Also "Damn sprint is so much faster!" Proceeds to jump most of the game

[@Rymdpandan]

I guess he thought the walls and nest gunners would be enough, that's where he built them. Honestly it was actually winning when he sent the reinforcements.

[@ShadowDoc]

What a awesome game. I'd love to see more open world survival RPG's have more RTS aspects to them. Really fun combo that!

[@seanlesko2473]

Ants are dope dude. Some of my favourite inverts. I was wondering if you were gonna play this Fooster. Glad you did! Thanks for all the great content! Remember to take time for you too 🧡

[@DavidBrendan7799]

Fooster is the only gaming channel that gives you a complete history of ants before playing the ant game! And I live for it!

[@TheSeraOfficial]

Yess I wanted to watch playthroughs of this game ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Fooster!

[@stevencooper6855]

Gonna need a series out of this game

[@professionalidiot3268]

1:00:30 bro trying to erase my memories

[@mbzproduction7405]

Stunning grafics love every seconds of the gameplay i am going to try this game now ❤️

[@SWP09]

A little different form what you usually play but I’m here for it lol❤

[@geiospence931]

love the content bro...keep up the good work🙂

[@MashTayto]

Big props to the animators. The bug movements look so good!

[@Sans117-DND]

Let's go Fooster u finally played this game I'm proud of you bro 👏💪

[@randallweeks5081]

i didnt want this video to end, please continue for us

[@piyushyadav1942Q]

I really love how the mechanics in this game are so simple and how beautiful it is. I would really like to see more of this game🔥

[@DidYouGrasp]

When you said "The Ancestors", it reminded me of the "hippo eggs" 😂 Ahh @Fooster, what will we do without you? ❤

[@Kattgroda]

Ancestors is actually the reason I got introduced to this channel! It was recommended to me and im so glad that the recommendation worked in my favors for once

[@DJvvAZZ]

There was a game, in the long, long ago ( early 90s) called Ants. You basically build an ant colony. But I remember the booming low bit rate voice at the start saying " they came from Africa!"

[@soraskingdom2388]

wow. Am I the only one extremely impressed by the graphics and animations in this?

[@Elmer_RedEagle]

This would be a nice chill series to add in once and a while.

[@the_prasenjeet]

Yooooo, fooster is narrating a documentary. 😂😂😂😂

[@BlueMondayGames]

He should seriously narrate those wild kingdom style documentaries. With the occasion Oh My God yelled during the tense moments.

[@auroralane8839]

Finally! Foosty is better than Attenborough!

[@BossMan-yu1og]

I saw this game for the first time a few days ago. It was interesting to me, but not interesting enough. But now that Fooster is playing I'm 100% invested.

[@Monarch_Kirito]

2:35 There's a Korean manhwa called Hive. It essentially depicts the horror of human sized Ants as a result of high oxygen levels on earth. It's terrifying

[@colk41]

When you said treats my dogs heard😂 had to give them a treat

[@sidneyjames5270]

I really appreciate how much extra research and info gathering you do for all your videos!!

[@nyxmercury9475]

i love the fact lessons at the start of your videos!! ants are so interesting, ive learned, and that NEST? thats insane. i can only imagine the chaos that ensued when it was disturbed

[@Co1e_Concept]

Hi Fooster, working lots of overtime right now as I'm saving a move while starting a bowling career, these videos help alot❤️

[@ashwink7644]

I was waiting for something like this!!! 🤩 An ENTIRE game of an ant EMPIRE!!! 🎉 W INTRO! The landscapes are stunning throughout the playthrough! I'm loving the role of ant general. And, you're right about the solo play. 57:22 Bro just full sent onto the water, lol 1:00:25 The cut on that 😂 1:01:52 Dragonfly said hi 1:02:59 Language issue 1:03:11 That made me laugh so hard 🤣. Fooster and spiders, never-ending love story 😂 1:06:54 Ayo, what? 💀 The entire rescue session in the end was impressive! Expecting more on the full game!

[@westin4302]

Does anybody else fall asleep watching these videos? Fooster’s voice is so calming. Of course I gotta come back and actually watch the video tho! Thank you so much kind sir.

[@feeelinfroggy2]

This was an absolute joy. Loved the scenery,the gameplay. The strategies needed to battle. Great fun ❤

[@davvonnebramlett4080]

This video was dope! Story telling was exceptional! The comeback: Legendary! I’d definitely would like to see more of this in the future. 😊

[@minkahole8557]

Any time I hear a video start with your fact sharing voice, I get genuinely excited. It is not a common thing done by gaming content creators.

[@avalon5957]

I love ants. Loved ants since I was a little kid, and stated following AntsCanada years ago and loved there's an entire community that loved ants too. They're super fascinating ❤

[@TECHATER]

Yes more! I like how all the plants and bugs are real not made up. I recognize allot of whats been shown. Grate job as always Fooster.

[@SarahLittle-wk6oo]

I’m home sick from work looking longingly for that Fooster related notification and tadaaaah, there it is.

[@userpolybob]

Yoooooooooooo loved the quiet place videos

[@unashameddevildog2354]

Another dose of the Master Fooster to start my Wednesday morning? Yes, please. Thank you, Brother. 👍

[@B.Grant207]

Fooster check out some videos where they show Ants making bridges from them selves just to invade Wasp nests

[@sppychubs]

i'm really loving the soundtrack for this game, it really feels like the kind of soundtrack one would hear if they were an ant building a whole empire

[@luminox1]

Love it when you do these types of intros!

[@Piecesoftheshadow]

Never thought I’d be so excited for an ant game. It looks so beautiful. Also, I agree with everyone saying you should do a documentary. Your voice is perfect for it.

[@yuedarkangel1]

Reminds me of the SimAnt game from the 90's, I played the hell out of that game.

[@Yaoi_Yuri929]

“Just like me, you don’t really pay attention to them all that much!” 😂😂 Fooster, sometimes you just really crack me up!

[@starriderkittykat9064]

I’ve been a subscriber to Ants Canada for many years and love his channel…but Fooster takes the win..🎉🏆

[@TheReZisTLust]

I love how fooster knows a ton about ants but thought he was the queen for a second 😂

[@ThePickleSquad2401]

Omg he joined the gaming beaver with playing this game my 2 favourite KZbinrs

[@anthonydavix]

Damn. The ants are magic! It could see clearly, it could jump the distance, even predict where the butterfly lands.

[@michaelcox8580]

I honestly didnt think i would like it but sitting here watching you play it it was really interesting I would like to see more of this

[@blamb9977]

this game /immediately/ makes me want an ant MMORPG

[@MaSTeRY0SHi_882]

Fooster makes every game he plays look fun

[@jayvee1387]

Another fun fact about ants; they practice funeral possessions and have buriels. Ants are such beautiful creatures and are fascinatingly intelligent and very sociable. I love this game so so much and I really want to read the book this game is based off of. Its a French science fiction book called Les Fourmis by Bernard Werber and it was his only work translated into English. Thank you for the content as per usual Fooster! 🤟🏽👌🏽👍🏽💙💜

[@Bipolar_Iz_Bad]

No they dont 😂 are u guys making all this up?

[@starceleste111]

Been watching a lot of ant colony and terrarium videos lately so this seems cool! Thanks for always keeping the content interesting!!

[@MaRodney07]

Looks like it plays like Ancestors? I wonder we'll get hippo eggs then too 😂

[@no_lft_shft]

Oh I will always love the facts before a video. ALWAYS!! No one else is doing it. And it's so cool!!!

[@fuego1018]

Bruv! I love how you research before your videos! Shits therapy for real! I'm a vet dealing with mental health and your videos bring me joy when it gets dark! Love you man!

[@MJ-00001]

Years of Ants Canada have prepped me for this. And now Fooster playing this game got me hyped.

[@DaphneBourne]

My romantic ass thought the ant fell in love with the butterfly lmao

[@yaleyoon6856]

Happy to hear that Fooster's favorite game played on the channel is Ancestors! The Ancestor videos were the first videos from the channel that I watched and it is my favorite series on his channel to date - I even have the playlist saved on my account to watch them from time to time. They're healing and soothing to watch during my down time in the afternoons and evenings :)

[@Suiteness73]

There was actually a movie in 1977 called Empire of the Ants. I saw it when I was little and it terrified me. The ants in it were HUGE!

[@victorgranado6212]

Fooster is slowly becoming a nature channel British narrator, and I'm totally here for it

[@eggrice3227]

I love how immersed Fooster gets no matter what game. It's like his voice is the voice of the nondialgue character he's playing

[@PackratPearl]

This is absolutely incredibly beautiful!! I am so happy to be on this adventure with Fooster; hard to imagine anyone else doing this game justice. So, yes... "Please sir; I want some more." 🙏

[@NappyBara]

glad to finally see some game play of this game, never saw any and I whenever I saw the ads for it I would get annoy they don't show any gameplays. Also if your interested in learning more on ants, I usually watch AntCanada as he keeps ants as his pets.

[@EnterpriseTheBigE]

What an Amazing Game, Calm natural and peaceful.

[@dinnerladymen]

Gotta say, looks like a decent game. Definitely more solo stuff is needed. Fooster, you actually got me into Ancestors recently. I had it in my library, tried it a while back and couldn't get into it, after seeing you play it and actually understanding the mechanics, i've got back into it and enjoying every minute of it haha! Thanks Fooster for the content!

[@mothmaamx]

Foosterrrr, I had the SAME exact reaction to the snail sounds 😂 Thanks for another upload. You're awesome!!

[@katesmiles4208]

Maxing out your graphics and taking time to look around made this stream amazing! I want this game 😁

[@reave823]

Looks awesome man. Love how you did that intro. Great facts and really gets you immersed lol. Keep at it, Fooster. Cheers!

[@LakeHamiltonSays]

I was SO waiting for you to check this game out! At this point I am ready to hear you narrate a document and I am HERE for it hsaha

[@sweetpeasarah1]

games like this-is one of the many reasons i ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOU FOOSTER♥️😂

[@TomsMissingNose]

20:24 “I get sidetracked way too easily” *proceeds to get immediately sidetracked* 😅

[@Mrdragonjack]

I was hoping Fooster would check more of A Day Out, I think of many cases he could have liked, Forbidden knowledge is exactly like Dog Soldiers

[@Chum7014]

Just wanna say,thanks to IGP.. that i found fooster.. been watching you video since..

[@BhumanyukashyapDutta]

I just came in , just to see your video man , love you, please do more videos for the devour and backrooms...❤🎉

[@whitefalcon630]

18:44 You sisters might have alerted that you slain that butterfly and you left some pheromones on the body so a few workers were dispatched to do the butchering. (I'm making this up but so far you the the first lad to slay that butterfly in the First Hunt mission)

[@20chriss]

Man i love when you do intros like this. You should try voice casting for Nat Geo, i would watch that shit all day long

[@joshbuck5877]

I want you to ant on keep the adventure going. This game is pretty cool 😎

[@Warlord-aus]

Such a nerd start to the video fooster!!! Absolutely love it 😍 awesome start looks so good very well put together intro looks like a really good game too

[@Halfrican16]

You bringing up ancestors reminds me that, that’s the reason I subbed in the first place was cuz of that specific play through!

[@talmboutcris]

Next time im walking through my garden: *Fooster ant: HELLOOO?!?!*
