Ultra-Nightmare Formicarium Challenges

[Mr_Ced]

This has been tested by me, all the way through. The main idea behind this is that you will start the Formicarium Challenges (On Insane) with very little set-up beforehand.

Rules
- No queen abilities
- No minor improvements
- You can gather food once the Challenge has started
- You can dig out as much space as you want beforehand


Formicarium Challenge I
- You can use the starting food, and an additional 410 food (not including food storage up to that amount)
- Collect, but do not spend, 410 more food before starting the Formicarium Challenge

Formicarium Challenge II
- No set up, spend any food you gathered during the last Challenge, but do not gather more!

Formicarium Challenge III
- Spend 1,970 food (not including food storage up to that amount)
- Gather additional 1,970 food, but do not spend it until Challenge has started!

I, myself, beat Challenge 3 on Insane with 19 black ants, 19 level 3 mortars, and 16 majors (with various levels).

As per the rules of ultra-nightmare, if you fail once you have to delete your formicarium.

WHAT????!

Based on the Ultra-Nightmare mode from Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal (which are both masterpieces of FPS action, btw). It's a hardcore mode so if you die, that's the end of your campaign run. Obviously we don't have that as a game mode in EotU but if you truly were wanting to play an Ultra-Nightmare style game you should do the honourable thing and delete your save if you die.

Without minor improvements? You're a god! XD
