Congrats! Awesome job on beating Insane!
Thanks! I am a fan of your videos. :)
It's more worth it to build workers as disposable tanks, I think. Due to the major threats in this map having instant kill abilities versus ants, the melee soldier ants (50 food to build, 5 to spawn) are not worth it compared to the much cheaper workers (20 food to build, 2 to spawn). The vast majority of your DPS will rely on your ranged soldiers anyways.
Also, you need a lot of workers to gather all that food during the day and help spawn reinforcements after those nasty wolf spider waves.
Interesting use of the worker spawns at the ends. The spiders go to those instead of the important nests, and workers on eggs end up being way safer.
To improve upon that, I might go for checkerboard lines of food and speed tiles, as that would lure several of them off to a different location. Too many of them might cause them to all go for the queen at once though, so you need just enough that you can kill them as you have the firepower for, but not enough to keep them all away at all times.
It was just an idea I had by night 3 which worked out. The most critical thing is still to ensure you have enough spitters by the queen to kill spiders quickly, and enough food to spawn reinforcements after the spiders tear through all your workers.
It's definitely worth experimenting with, though. Please keep me updated how it works out for you! :)
47:15 I came for the winning song... no regrets..
Nice timing on the underground food sources in preparation for night 1. That last wave of crabs always ends me.
That music though :D
The music is a bop
Very well played. My startup is simply far too inefficient, while you get going quite swiftly. I'll have to decide if I want to use a modified strategy for night harvest, or if you simply have the best route.
Thanks, Rayalot! It was your advice that got me past night 2, actually. I simply wasn't building enough workers and spitters before. I realized I needed at least 60+ workers and 40+ spitters to clean up that huge wave of spiders, or they'll kill all my workers twice and set me way back.
I was going to go with night harvest, but the update ensured that doing so will cause a wipe (aggro now pulls things in with you). I went ahead with your strategy, although I also had a separate set of workers harvesting whatever I missed in clearing chambers so that I could keep my army ready.
@@balanite4622 I beat that huge wave of spiders simply by camping the cave spawn point on the surface. The spiders will just fight you straight up that way haha :) I only had like 30 workers the whole game which I built in the very beginning cause I'm a greedy LOL
Well done on these vids :) Keep up the good work
I'd like to see more eventually
Thank you! :) I hope it helps if you have trouble beating this map!
Balanite I don't think I have the strength to do this on insane but I'll try it on hard and see how it goes
The difficulty in this game is really something! Anyways, games are most fun when they are challenging but also not too frustrating. :)
superb playing! You are the champ!
What kind of ants are those? The ones just standing there spitting at them? That's awsome.
good job balanite
My nerves on the first day and night lmao
i only have 1 question... why did you never expand your food stores? sitting on 410 for the entire game looks soooo difficult
I never feel comfortable if i am preparing a colony, to have at MINIMUM, 1k food space, whether or not i actually use it.
Thanks for watching! I find 410 food is a good enough total cap for my playstyle, since I only keep a constant buffer of about 150+ food at most times (enough for 30 soldier reinforcements or 75 workers). Above 300+ food, I usually find it's more useful to build more workers/soldiers/upgrade soldiers than to keep the food sitting in reserve.
In my video, I keep upgrading the spitter ants to level 3s just to use up all the food I'm getting. Of course, I've run out of food a few times trying this map and then wish I had saved up more when wolf spiders kill my entire army and I had no food to spawn anything. :)
i usually sit at 100-120 -_- money must work not lay in banks -_-
whoah that sure was intense. An awesome job well done to you. :)
Thanks! I'm glad you didn't find the video boring! :)
boring? far from it. the gameplay is a lot of fun and it was great to see how your strategy works. Hope you don't mind me trying your strategy as I love playing this game??? hehe :)
No problem. If you have any questions, just ask! The official forums gave me a lot of good advice before I managed to beat this. :)
yes
2000 iq setups over here and I can’t even do lvl 1 on hard
I cant seem to pin point which group, either 3 or 4, are the spitter ants...Did you just make a nearly even 1:1 ratio of them and the soldier ants? why so many worker ants? Do the worker ants helps speed up the spawn rates of the soldier ants? You're a god. I struggled with this on Easy.
I made only workers and spitter ants, no melee soldiers. The worker ants help act as disposable tanks against the spiders/beetles' instant-kill attacks and can help place larva in between the waves at night (when placed in nest group).
Thanks for watching! :)
Appreciate it brother thanks!
why only make workers and wood ants.
when will you do Rising Tide Challenge Mode?
they released it
So you are doing the entire game right
Why do you not make soldiers?
