The vegetarian ant
Colony
just a small thread to post your tug of war strategies, what units do you go for first, do you micro them etc. also, has anyone beat it in insane yet ?
I might be mistaken but this is the other foot, not tug of war ?Army ant media, then some more army ant media, then switch to producing more army ant media instead.
Then add in some army ant majors.
Keep the enemy colony busy with worker ants to keep the food drops on your side of the map and keep building more army ant majors until you can swarm them with the majors.
The army ant media are ineffective against the enemy colony, their lvl 3 mortars will stop them from dealing any significant damage.
Oops... yes. >< My bad.I might be mistaken but this is the other foot, not tug of war ?
do you mean atta majors ? I'll try that and see if I still winI’d recommend have some majors as well
just tried it, they don't add much value, if you spend food getting majors the enemy will have the time to get army ant majors and will wreck youYeah leafcutter majors, just reduce the medias by a tad bit and add a ust tfew majors
This might sound stupid, but I'd recommend Trap-jaws in the early-game. They can take on multiple waves of enemies given time, since they are the only ants that can heal themselves in combat.just a small thread to post your tug of war strategies, what units do you go for first, do you micro them etc. also, has anyone beat it in insane yet ?
atta major can heal themselves tooThis might sound stupid, but I'd recommend Trap-jaws in the early-game. They can take on multiple waves of enemies given time, since they are the only ants that can heal themselves in combat.
Well, they do terribly against targets with high damage per hit (like Mortars and Majors), since those can trigger their ability easily and then kill them once it ends.atta major can heal themselves too
trap jaws are kind of separate from the rest because they're the only ant you can use alone and win without ever using other ants so they're a bit overkill
what majors are you reffering to ? atta or army ant ? mortars are usually easy to deal with because you can just go through enemy lines by disabling attack and re enabling itWell, they do terribly against targets with high damage per hit (like Mortars and Majors), since those can trigger their ability easily and then kill them once it ends.
Technically either. They both do enough damage to trigger a Trapjaw jump, if I recall correctly.what majors are you reffering to ? atta or army ant ? mortars are usually easy to deal with because you can just go through enemy lines by disabling attack and re enabling it
yeah, except when the army ant are in rage, at that time they do enough damage to not trigger it anymore and just one shot the trapjawTechnically either. They both do enough damage to trigger a Trapjaw jump, if I recall correctly.
