This wave-surviving mission has a twist.
Objectives
- Survive 30 waves.
Settings
Your gene-thief ant colony must fend off 30 attacking waves. You don't have access to the surface.
You only have access to black ant soldiers at first. You are rewarded with unlocking points (UP) equal to 1% of your combat score every time you win, lose or quit. The points are carried over to the subsequent times you play. You can spend the accumulated unlocking points to unlock different units and adaptations.
You can only choose either of the wood ant shooters, either of the leafcutter ant majors and either of the paired abilities before playing the mission. You can change your choice for free the subsequent times you play. The respective adaptations must be unlocked before you make the change.
