also, i wonder if its 'possible' to amass enough of the fast responder medics by the morning of day 2 to trigger 'enough' of the stink ants to stay in line for the driver ants, such that they actually can defeat them enough to drive them off, because i notice the driver ants don't upgrade enough by day 2 to be a threat to the stink ants like they are from day 3 onwards

So I am once again here to say i learned fun facts about the termites in the 5.1/5.2 levels turns out, if it weren't for the 'cooldown' forced upon the termite's forces when the player kills them for food, they would actually be able to... probably, fight off the player character's matabele ants and if i suspect, even the driver ants. because i've noticed they often have fungus supplies ranging in the thousands of 2k at most maybe even more. as an example on 5.1, the 'central' termite mound i kept raiding over/over had easily 2.3k food in fungus yet because of that cooldown enforced on their termite soldiers... they just can't fight back after a certain period. makes me wonder how the termites would fair if they didn't have the cooldown enforced upon them to explain the cooldown is how long it takes before you can plant an egg and for it to begin hatching into a new soldier/worker, similiar to how the slavers work in 1.2 with your black ants if any slaver successfully steals an egg, a 'cooldown' is placed on it and until it expires you can't have any eggs placed there.

Also, i wonder if its 'possible' to kill the sun spider 'before' she has a chance to break into the nest... thus stopping her from making an entrance for the other titans to enter

i wish the termite food that sits there when you kill the queen (from the tiles) stayed longer, it would make it more of a reason to want to kill the termite queens... then again it would be the 'reverse' for why you would want to keep them alive.

The stink ants fight the driver ants?! What?

Nice, now can I see you do it ntc, I did it ntc but I see you better than me so I want to see how clean it would look if you did it

I just beaten 3.2 on impossible,and i think i completed it in a WHOPPING 30-45 minutes YEA THAT LONG I BASICALLY SPEEDRAN WITHOUT KNOWING

I will say this, i have done this mission without the challenge active (the emperor scorpion) but adding a unique challenge, 'not digging out a shortcut to the nest entrance, meaning my termites all have to take the LONG ASS WALK around that semi-circle you start with... and i found some interesting tech to make this mission so much easier, given my dumbass with my self-imposed challenge, and interesting builds that makes this mission interesting/difficult/easy depending on how you do it mind you, you don't have to dig out the shortcut but regardless if you do or not... If you go the 'preferred' route of leveling up your major workers to level 2, build extra worker majors, get them to level 2 (about 3-4 more plus the ones you start with, and then start excavating the standard ant chamber of 19 tiles, and start making minor workers you can powerspeed your economy if you micromanage and avoid engaging the earwigs. From there you have two choices and whatever you build/focus on will allow diff strategies. If you focus on the Minor Soldiers you can get a lot of them about 19 by the morning of day 2 (when you get attacked) and additional ones if your quick/efficient enough at harvesting, and especially if you have at least 10 more worker minors. If you choose to go Major Soldiers, you'll only have about maybe 9-10 if your as efficient/quick, but both methods can deal with the first assault from the matabele with diff results. If you go the minor soldiers, you'll suffer casualties, a lot of them, and while you won't kill as many if your in enough numbers you can get about enough so that the northern colony will be attacked and then you. If you however go the major soldiers, you 'must' get about 10 with food reserves or else you won't survive, but if you go majors, their high hp and ability to speed up attacks of allies will kick in and rip the matabele, and if you lure them into your nest you can bottleneck them so they can't all attack at once, and slowly take em out in small batches (something that annoyed me when i tried fighting them, being bottlenecked but in reverse) and the major's power kills enough matabele so that you have 2 waves of space to prepare for the next assault while the tunnel cavern technique (not digging otu a shortcut from your worker majors to the tunnel entrance) is a long path, it 'will' allow you to bottleneck them as said, and again depending on what you go for, this can be a boon. the MAJOR problem i encounter however, is when they enter the nest they'll often attack my termite minor workers who are trying to get food to eat and then deposit as fungus. One thing i did was dig out a new area to the 'right' of where your fungus storage is, specifically where those mini earwigs sit and build a food storage/drop off area there. It takes my workers a while longer to deposit it, but during raids i'm able to protect my minor workers and they can do their jobs safely, while the soldeirs go and get themselves massacred and sacraficed to the matabele feeding table. This way my minor workers don't accidentally keep wasting food trying to run through the melee trying to get food and rinse/repeating, and instead can safely get their food, digest, and replant eggs during the raid.

My first glimpse at a Velvet worm was catching it going underground during free play and I've been wondering if I was just crazy.

bro gonna be a famous youtuber??

5.2 was mi first level complete it on imposible with challenge on

All termines mounds empty? Noice I aslo kill the 3 termine mounds without New game plus

I got regicide from playing impossible w/challenge. I'm curious to see how you'll do "Fast food"

everytime i put a youtube bot reply it gets deleted 😭

I'll be honest, this one caught me off guard when I first played it, not knowing how to set up the termite nest. Thankfully I managed to figure out the mechanics quickly on round 2. Didn't really figure out how the termite resistance bar really worked. Like, I know it goes up when you knock out/kill an ant, but does killing a medic increase it more? How much does it go up killing a recuperated unit? I also think this was the first time I had put termites in multiple control groups.

Was hoping to see this one done

Why do you always disable enemy mounting? Is it less effective?

With llaves i mean leaves

One bad thing is i can"t complete the 3.2 imposible challenge the achievemnt that you have to collect all llaves bc 30 food are bug next to a Pink flower at the top right not able to collect

Aslo you noticed they buff the bigheaded Major soldiers and achievements are posible now in New game plus?

Finally i see somebody with the Beta in the game i fiel i was the only one

Yippee

Nappy what if you camp outside their nest at 12k collected and bumrush or is the death stack of majors centered on the queen at all times?

Me: 22,000 food? How did he do - *Glances down at the nest minimap* Oh, that's how.

What is the strat for this level is it just to spam lvl 1 soldiers and medics?

Use unquebs strategy.

Nice, also it's funny how many people think this level is difficult

HOW

Hey this level seems really cool.

LESSS GOOO

Hi

Great gameplay! I cant help but notice, though, that apparently according to the difficulty you start with less soldier ants.

Nice

It was updated ?

there is a new update?

I forgot to mention, nice scavenger hunt

Hi

What do you mean by "updated"?

The gameplay is so smooth, wish I had that

ALWAYS go Rapid Fire! 👍

Yes

Why does scientist 1 didn't Finnish the experience but scientist 2

Would if be better if the bugs team up with the leaf cutter ants and fight against the army ants.

Just lost the way is shut achievement to a spiderling

BRO THATS 200K HP, MORE THAN BULL FROG AND EMPERROR SCORPION!!!!(They've only 30k hp)

How painful was this? Also i noticed you practicing killing tiger beetle larvae in your previous video

Nice

yeah

I realize now that you spent a lot of food on speed tiles lol. You only need 1 per "cluster" to bait the wolf spiders, that was a bit painful to watch hah

this game deserve a big comunity
