I see that you want the game to be like other RTS, with heavy micromanagement and open space to expand. I think this is just how the game forms its identity. It's not like micro is impossible in this game when Insane Completionist players have beaten the game with self-imposed challenges like...

This is so hard to reply because you don't put number in your suggestion. Most of them have been answered before. 1. Some deliberate design choices that have been confirmed not to change: - You control unit groups, not individuals. Ants will choose the shortest path from the queen to the marker...

Not sure if I'm allowed to say here, but you can simply search for interaction between the new ant species and termites. There are some articles on the first result page on google.

They don't. They have other tricks that require the use of our new ant species.

The queen has "Royal guard" and "Second wind", exactly like in FC3. Workers don't have adaptations, however. Slavemaker ants in the game have 2 units: the stealers and the soldiers. The couterpart colony only has access to soldiers. They are as strong as leafcutter ant mediae at level 3 while...

You can. Beat The Other Foot on any difficulty get you the counterpart colony in FC3 for freeplay. And while you are at it, beat Excavators and Adventure too, for other unlockables. As for if they will be added to the primary colony, the answer is no. They have another plan called New Game Plus.

This has been suggested before, multiple times. It took them one year to rebuild and optimise the movement code and they didn't change it, I don't think they will in the future.

Army ants don't build underground nest, but living nest made of their own bodies called bivouac. Trap-jaw ants don't form pheromone trail while hunting. The in-game species live on treetop. It has been confirmed to not happen.

He was talking about minor improvements, not the unlockable abilities.

Wood ant shooters can only use basic attack while they are mounting enemies, which had never hapened before fire ant update. So those minor improvements are all for acid spray. Stats for acid spray are in "Abilities" and "Effects" sheet. Here are the deciphered stats compiled in the fan wiki...

Not everyone is as good as you in micro.

1. Read the subtitles. There are hints and instructions everywhere. 2. Firecrackers can break walls. Lure enemies to thin indestructible walls and let them open shortcuts. 3. Firecrackers can send ants flying. Use this to skip mazes and weird terrain. 4. Firecrackers can break 3 destructible...

You may want to check in the game before replying to new player like that. Also, each refuse tile dissolves 1 waste per 5/ 4/ 2.5 seconds.

As I said, it's a way to get around. It's still the intended way for players to beat the invaders underground. If you want more examples, people have been camping the spawning points in 2.1 and 2.2 instead of defending underground; or have been killing the enemy colony in 3.1 instead of...

Aren't the carnivorous plants a bit under represented in the new missions? I don't feel like they pose any threat, hinder my progress or provide a good food source. So, according to my testing, this is how the pitcher plants work: 1. Ants have low chance to survive pitcher plants. If the spiders...

Isn't this just a feature and not a bug, similar to how you get around the final wave of 1.2? The objective is just: "Survive the invaders".

Some of my takes on the whole discussion: 1. Extra missions mostly act as test runs for new mechanics and give people stuffs to do while waiting. They don't make new stuffs unless they will be reused later in the story. 2. There is only 1 extra mission that is publicly confirmed to be fan idea...

According to discord, challenge mode will come with the later interim update similar to previous missions.

Not sure what you mean by "shiny black stripes" either. Here is how it looks in real life.
