  • @ryboss2777
    @ryboss2777 Месяц назад

    Probably shouldnt try to sacrifice the bridge to the first aphids, the loss in workers due to the spiders likely costed quite a bit of food, along with you losing some soldiers to flooding anyways, probably easiest to just get the aphids and scavenge around and defend the first wave and doing the rest of what you did (also seems you should focus on killing the salamanders on the 2nd night and then skimmer before trying to bridge)

  • @Blxz

    • @TheCringle47

      if they are on a marker and the marker was removed the workers in that marker will act as nest workers and any other ant on that marker will just chill by the queen.

    • @buff9812
      @buff9812 2 месяца назад

      thanks! placing the tiles is for distracting wolf spiders, since they run to chambers in your underground. each disconnected tile counts as a chamber. it's more useful on impossible difficulty and works with food tiles too.

  • @FedoraReshiramGaming
    @FedoraReshiramGaming 3 месяца назад

    fun fact it turns out that the big headed ants i believe actually get most of their food 'from' the aphids, so if you steal both aphids rather quickly, they just have 'no' food to sustain their super soldiers and assaults against you, by day 4 they just never left their hill even as I was being assaulted by the little black ants constantly.

  • @FedoraReshiramGaming
    @FedoraReshiramGaming 3 месяца назад

    I 'just' got this today using Pervasive Ants... it took me '9' tries constantly resetting before even the first night because I kept on missing the 5 minute deadline to trigger the achievement. And the 1 time where i was able to get it 'before' succeeding i failed because the big headed ants assaulted me right after I went on a small raid to try and secure more of the little black ants aphids (they stole some from me) and my army was too entrenched to return fast enough and was too weak to deal with '9' big headed super soldiers at lvl 2, and was forced to fight piece meal while their workers and other soldiers stole my remaining aphids. By the time i recovered and regained control, they stole all of my aphids and it was time to deal with the toads... what little strength i had left wasn't enough. BUT after 9 tries, i finally got a decent bit of RNG luck, i managed to send out my 7 workers and 7 soldiers to steal 'both' little black ant aphid farms while they were dealing with a tiger beetle (1 worker slipped past and triggered them for the achievement) and then the jumping spiders were being dealt with by the big headed ants, and were weak enough for me to get all 7 of my soldiers to run past, pick off a lone worker to trigger them, and 'stole' their northern 7 aphids, enabling me to have about 24 aphids before night 1 (and i needed them because the big headed ants got their first super soldiers within a minute and they just kept assaulting me with the black ants until nightfall) I spent '3' days total defending my aphid flocks until i was strong enough to steal the remaining aphids from the big headed ants, right as they sent a wave of super soldiers, and then it was just surviving until i had enough numbers to just overwhelm 'everything' on day 5... little black ants died before morning of day 5, big headed ants fell mid day, and the bullfrog fell before night... i have 'NEVER' been so stressed in a mission lol

  • @y.guillen
    @y.guillen 4 месяца назад

    0:48 I really like this strategy as its one of the oldest and safest. Though I have crafted one of my own that works just as well as this one. In my final build the stats are: Bite 9 Venom Pool 6 Crippling Venom 12 Devour 9 At the start, for the first 4 objectoves I just level up devour and bite any chance I get until they're at level 9 (it also works with level 8, but I go to level 9 just to make sure). After killing the queens and going to the hermit crabs I make sure to not go in a 1v2 against the small (medium, the old size name). When I reach the uber I just start biting and when I'm on low health I quickly heal and keep biting until it dies. The devils coach horse (DCH) are kind of challenging as I have to bait their spray and as long as I don't get 2 I can 1v1 (with bite, up until the medium wolfs I just melee them as the venom pool is to weak compared to the bite)kill and heal from it until I reach the Uber DCH. The same strategy applies here, bait the first spray, attack until half health, heal, get sprayed or dodge (doesnt matter which one happens) and melee until its dead. Tiger beetles same thing as DCH, just don't get 2 larges and you're good. After killing the Uber TB I upgrade crippling venom to 12 and the rest go to venom strike. I melee the small and tiny wolves. And then I do the same thing you do with the rest, crippling venom venom strie combo until every spider and the uber die.
