Settings

Your fire ant colony must get to the bountiful land across the water. Your nest is located on the largest island.

The mission starts at night.

Milkweed seeds frequently land on the map and disappear after 90 seconds.

Flood period lasts for 3 minutes. Drain period lasts for 2 minutes. The 3 small islands and the promised land can only be reached during flood period.

You only have access to vigorous soldiers. You can't upgrade any ants to level 3.

Notable enemies

Enemies are on the same side.

Green rove beetles, blue rove beetles and woodworms live in your nest. They also appear on the surface of the large island and the 3 small islands during flood period.

Bombardier beetles appear on the 3 medium islands during flood period, increasing in number over time. They invade your nest during drain period. On later days, they may fight among themselves to keep their own number in check.
