The Culling 2 - Impossible || Empires of the Undergrowth - No Commentary

Command big headed ants in this return to The Culling! Enemy packs will get bigger over time, then at night will invade the nest in large numbers. If the packs have been allowed to grow too large, they will overwhelm your colony. You must survive a number of nights to win.
Tips:
- Bigheaded supersoldiers will carry you the entire way. Make at least 14 level 3 of these supersoldiers, more if you have spare food.
- Use workers early on and for late game. They are cheap and can be used to collect food while your soldiers are outside fighting.
- Bigheaded majors are not worth it at all. They are slightly more costly than the workers, although they barely have more damage and health than the workers.
- Use ants to collect fallen seeds for extra food income. At the same time, use workers to collect aphid dew. Aphids will randomly spawn across the map. Collect them and have a small group of workers collecting from the aphids.
- Get underground food, there is a ton of valuable food sources in your underground, a pinecone, several large bodies of false bombardier beetles, and a ton of larvae. These would prove vital to grow your army during the mid-late game.
- Have food stored up for respawns. The supersoldiers cost 14 to hatch, so if too many die, it'll cost a bit to respawn them. It's always helpful to have some food stocked up for respawns.
- A few extra nest workers to help with egg replacement.
- Cull the larger creatures first, especially amphibians, velvet ants, and large tiger beetles.

===================================
Empires of the Undergrowth is an ant colony management game, in a fast-paced real-time strategy style. The player excavates their nest underground, constructing tunnels and chambers to store food and raise brood. On the surface, the ants claim territory, gather resources, overwhelm fearsome arachnids and clash with other colonies. Nest design, army size, composition and attack timing are key to securing victory.
Empires of the Undergrowth is a real-time strategy game set in the world of ants! Now available on Steam, Epic Games Store, Itch.io and gog.

Got a little spicy there at the end, even with all that clearing of the map

Yep, the mistake I made when first started the level is not placing the supersoldier chamber behind the queen. I realized it too late, but didn’t want to stop and restart.

Why a vid on the culling 2 before one on the culling 1? Not a critique or anything just asking.

[@denacrowder4859]

I think this one is easier bc you don’t have black ants

[@NappyB1]

I’m going backwards, starting from the newest extra levels down the oldest ones.

@Denacrowder4859
I find The Culling 1 a bit easier, since the enemies in that level aren’t as powerful as the swamp enemies.
