Makes sense, hard enough with towers giving XP; might have pulled out hair prior to that.

I just beat the level and I was watching over a section - the funnel spiders give a little XP when they kill an enemy if that helps Mr_Ced

It's been a while I've had quite a hiatus from gaming due to personal circumstances. I have videos up on youtube under TerrificTimmeh - mainly just all the levels on insane challenge modes. Not necessarily for beginners but maybe more high-end strategies.

I like the composition. So in my eyes the leafcutters are a tactical army of ants. Minors get the base up and running and then change to a maintenance role. I need ants to help keep the base up to scratch and keep the medeas/majors spawning. At the start they are cheap and aren't a huge...

I've also been going out at the end of the night after the final wave and picking off some crabs / spiders for full food. When you push it you can really get a lot of food. One run I ran into 5 crabs fleeing for the night - each crab was 120-180 food right at my base so it was a big boost. It...

You can get around point 1 by having smaller groups of ants and spread across different pheromone markers. When you click it's like each individual ant gets told one by one where to go next so the less ants the marker has to tell the better chance they'll all listen. Otherwise I feel your pain...

No I don't think it is a bug. You can also see it in 2.2 if the larvae spawn too close to the enemy ants path and you leave the larvae there. Very effective at stalling parts of their army when they both come to attack you at the same time because the larvae will kill some of their ants and...

Maybe; the leafcutters update was so intense I'm sure we're all a little better for it. My runs do include killing more tiger beetles for a big food gain I don't think I did that before. Avoiding the TBL is key as well as volume of ants to survive the spider waves.

Either way I think you've done a great job finding another way to complete the level because it's not easy. Leaves me with something to think about on improving my runs to make them more consistent.

The trick is to have numbers. Even if you just beat their forces, wait until your forces regroup before attacking the queen. Camp just inside the entrance of her base when regrouping to keep an eye on the inside of the base and eliminate any single ants still alive that walk near you...

Haha yeah it's definitely not an easy strategy to pull off. Might just be my play style - My strategy is actually based on my win from prior to the nerfs to lvl 3.2 but I've noticed it is easier to beat the level now as there are more army ant soldiers later in the game then originally i.m.o...

Yeah it's awesome. Was 2.1 Insane challenge mode nerfed? Seemed like less tiger beetle larvae then I remember playing it the other day. But it also makes it more consistent and fun. I love a good challenge but the changes were necessary.

Nice spot

That would be hard to implement; maybe they could stay in your base near your queen and if you bring your wounded ants back to base they heal them up if that doesn't deviate too much from their real behaviour?
