Settings
Your Matabele ant colony must repel an advancing swarm of driver ants and protect its food sources.
The level starts at night.
You have access to 4 termite colonies. Dead termites disappear after 2 minutes while other dead enemies disappear after 5 seconds.
You can attempt the first objective everyday until you succeed. The game only checks the requirements after the driver ants have retreated.
You must choose either anesthetist or fast-responder medics before playing the level. You start with 13/ 10/ 7/ 6/ 6 soldier brood tiles and 7 food storage tiles.
Non-player colonies
The termite colonies don't interact with each other.
Minor soldiers and major soldiers are kept around the queen and are only deployed to protect the gathering groups.
The termite colonies retreat inside at noon and gather lignocellulose within their territories for the rest of the day.
Brood tiles with eliminated termites can't incubate for 12 minutes.
Notable enemies
Enemies are on the same side and are hostile to the ants and the termites. Driver ants and African stink ants are hostile to each other.
Earwigs and termites live in your nest.
Surface enemies don't invade your nest. They occasionally fight among themselves to keep their own number in check.
Wafer trapdoor spiders hide themselves on the ways to the termite mounds.
Huntsman spiders occasionally appear one at a time and follow your most recently place pheromone marker. They retreat after they have eaten any food or eliminated enough enemies.
African tiger beetles and rainbow lizards only appear on the surface during the day.
Rainbow lizards run out of the map when they have below 45% of their health.
Earwigs, sun spiders, African giant centipedes, alligator back scorpions and emperor scorpions only appear on the surface at night. Some enemies can come out of empty termite mounds.
Driver ants
Driver ants don't invade your nest. They conduct raids on termite colonies during the day and retreat at night. They gather any food on the way.
The target is chosen in this specific order: green - yellow - blue - pink. They only move to the next colony after they have gathered all available food in the current mound.
Large driver ant soldiers can inflict 100% more damage on termites and take 50% less damage from them only in this level.
African stink ants
African stink ants frequently appear underground and move around through the soil. They quickly leave if you don't dig into their paths. You must eliminate a certain number of stink ants consecutively to make them close off their tunnels. Your progress is reverted over time if you can't finish it in a single attempt.
African stink ants only appear on the surface in the morning, just before the driver ants arrive. They travel between their original spawner and the targeted termite mound.
African stink ants gather any food on the way. They have 40% chance to summon extra stink ants from nearby spawners when they take damage.
Challenge
Assassin bugs gather on the ways to the termite mounds. They only disappear briefly at noon. They are ignored by the driver ants and the stink ants even without their armor.
