Just in case you were curious, Matabele ants get less food from creatures since their main food source is termites it has nothing to do with the developers😄, matabeles get only 10% of the creature food than other ants hope this helps
I’d imagine that like what they did with the Leafcutters the Matabeles will get more initial ants (like when you start with them in campaign levels) to help the out a tad.
The Matabele should becareful to not push the nest too far. If they're weaken. The Termites will not grow their nest of the number of termites and the queen and king will starve.
-Make 2 groups of soldiers or workers and medics (separately) - send them on suicide mission (disable fighting for the attacker group) - you get free ants from medics and hatched ones - less food wasted instead of making more tiles for 100 food *profit*
If you want to do this suggestion you can so choose any map preferably maybe sand spit or the dunes but you can choose any you will be a termite colony there would be 2 other termite colony’s and one Matabele ant colony so it is like the level 5.3 if I am correct and adjust settings as well as creatures to your liking and if you want to do it enjoy!
In previous builds I remember plants and other food giving things disappear after a while, then re-spawn in other places. I don't know if they changed that mechanic or not.
Regarding the tirade on people telling you to upgrade, there’s a little thing in games like this called damage density. Let’s say a particular enemy can only be attacked by 15 ants at a time. Do you want 30 level one ants or 30 level two ants? Now obviously in the early game you want to focus on numbers, but as you reach damage density you should upgrade.
There are benefits to amassing a larger army (ask any Zerg rush player in Starcraft) as opposed to upgrading (which costs the same as getting another level 1 ant). If a larger creature one-shots my wave of 30 level 2 ants, that's it...done. If a larger creature one-shots my wave of 30 level 1 ants, I'll have 30 more right there as backup to finish it off. More ants also mean more groups and flexibility to be where I need them on the map. While there are benefits to upgrading, I prefer having a larger one due to flexibility and attrition reasons. I only upgrade when my formicarium reaches max population. In skirmish, typically there are no pop caps unless upkeep is on.

38:07 "The insatiable Matabele ants have struck the center of the mound executing both king and queen of the termites"

Omg the little termite hills are so cool

I’ll have to give that a try! Definitely morbid but economical, Lol!
Food dispawn like seeds i think

I have a EOTU video scheduled for tomorrow morning. Assuming that does well and the series does well I'll probably do more skirmish stuff.
@@DadsGamingAddiction ok I am excited to see what you have for us!
The plant that gives you food is infinite 8:21
In previous builds I remember plants and other food giving things disappear after a while, then re-spawn in other places. I don't know if they changed that mechanic or not.
@@DadsGamingAddiction yes plant can respawn but after very long time and food disappears but slowly
Not all food giving respawns I think only that one red but others are just infinite but slowly respawns except aphids
aphids are infinite unless ladybug eats it
I love your empires of the undergrowth videos and ant queen videos
Thanks!
Dad gaming addiction if I were you camp the spawn points with a few medics and 1or2 soldiers this allows you to build a army quick

It’s amazing that you are disabled and have the confidence to do gaming videos on almost a daily basis, good for you 😊
Thanks!
I love these eotu videos can you make more of them?
Depends on the view count.
The only thing that I hate about this video is how he place his brood tiles
I wonder if you can put the tier 5 bugs on your freeplay🤔
you can
ty another 1
If the view count gets high enough, maybe :)
@@DadsGamingAddiction oki
@@DadsGamingAddiction can u do termites next time?
@@topgforever665 I'm not sure there will be another EoTU video, depends on the ratings of the previous ones I posted. No support = no videos.
21:24 so nice if them to give free food especially these days were inflation is big

I'm 43 and disabled. If you find my preferred difficulty annoying, then feel free to sub to another channel.
