''Anthill'' is a RealTimeStrategy game loosely based off the behavior of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant ants]]. The goal of the game is simple, to protect your anthill from other insects.

----
!!This game provides examples of:

* AntWar: Rival anthills show up in "The Expanse".
* AntiAir: Anti-Aircraft Bugs are enemies that are capable of attacking your Bomber ants, to great affect. Thankfully though they're incapable of attacking your other ants.
* DeathFromAbove: The Bomber ants as the name would suggest drop bombs on their targets.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: It ultimately takes a army of ants to kill most of the larger enemies in the game; like the Super Beetle, since a single ant isn't capable of doing enough damage to them before they themselves are usually killed.
* EatingTheEnemy: Many of the other insects you kill will leave behind a corpse, which can be taken back to your anthill for food.
* EscortMission: A major part of the game involves taking food back to the anthill; which is required to get more ants, and gems which improve you score.
* HumanResources: Doubles as a ImAHumanitarian example. Once the Worker ants are fully upgraded making there be a 50% chance that a killed ant will leave behind a corpse which can then be taken for food or ''recycled'' as the upgrades description says.
* ImAHumanitarian: See HumanResources above.
* InsectQueen: The queen of your colony is as to be expected treated like royalty by the other ants.
* StrongAnts: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], larger enemies are broken up into small pieces before being taken back to your anthill.
