Settings

Your black ant colony must survive constant raids from a nearby slave-maker ant colony. You don't have access to the surface.

Notable enemies

Enemies from different species are hostile to each other. Slave-maker ant stealers are completely ignored.

Woodworms, woodlice, larval devil's coach horse beetles and funnel-web spiders live in your nest.

Slave-maker ants enter your nest through the nearby spawners. The first wave only begins 30 seconds after you have removed a funnel-web spider. It has a single stealer and can't be intercepted. Subsequent waves appear every 180/ 160/ 145/ 120/ 100 seconds. Soldiers move toward your queen while stealers wander around your nest to look for larvae. Brood tiles with taken larvae can't incubate for 90 seconds.

If the first 2 objectives are completed when an attacking wave is about to arrive, it is treated as the final wave.

Challenge

Mole crickets enter your nest from above any chambers after you have played for 4 minutes. You can see dust clouds 30 seconds before they appear.

Single mole cricket appears in odd-numbered waves. Multiple mole crickets appear in even-numbered waves and increase in number each time (1 - 2 - 1 - 3 - 1 - 4 - 1 - 5... respectively). The interval time decreases by 10 seconds after each wave, from 220/ 220/ 220/ 190/ 190 down to 80 seconds.
