Is there a specific date around which we can expect to get 2.X challenges?

I'm also quite curious as to whether or not the challenge will be the same for both missions, or whether they will diversify?

2.1 day attacks and 2.2 night attacks could help to greatly increase difficulty, forcing you to have ways to both defend and gather resources at all times (2.1 insane challenge is going to be impossible, but I'm sure we'll find a way).

Yeah, it would be fun but with the massive night attacks on insane in 2.1 it'll be too hard to gather resources during the day. Making it impossible. Soooooo

 

[Rayalot72]

Honestly, as long as the waves aren't super strong, and there are no attacks day 1, wood ants and tiger beetles attacking wouldn't be all too scary. If anything, I would love the new requirement to adapt.

 

[Soccer51x]

Yeah, unless suddenly 50 hermit crabs attacked at night. then you would have a problem

 

[Rayalot72]

That's basically what happens in 2.1 insane N3 W2. You get something like 30 crabs attacking at once. Quite the nightmare if you're still down due to the N3 W1 spider attack. Even if you survive the crabs, if you can't kill them quick enough the two mothers N3 W3 with their babies will easily crush whatever you manage to salvage.

Nothing specific yet but I'm bringing this up with the guys in our next meeting (they're currently deep into the plans for 3.1, 3.2 and formicarium 3).
