Written by GrimyGamer
At the beginning you start with very few resources. South of your nest you
can find some food, that's it! After enlarging your nest, you can unlock the
Formicarium map in the north (just follow the path up). At the beginning you
can only build worker ants. Remember you also have to build food places,
later you will have to increase your food storage!
After that you can choose one of the two initial missions (top left in the
corner). There you can set the difficulty level. The level of difficulty
determines how big the reward is. After completion of the mission you can
choose a reward! Food, Tech Points or Territory!
The food is dropped in the Formicarium after each mission or challenge. I
recommend you take the Tech Points as a reward, because then you can unlock
your soldiers ants!
You need at least 30-50 soldiers ants and some food to successfully master
the first challenge. After this challenge you unlock more missions, get
food in your Formicarium. You have to increase your nest every time and
make it stronger. You can upgrade the food and ant places, so you save a
lot of space!
After a while, as you continue to level, upgrade and build your nest,
your ants colony will be unbeatable.
Cold Blood Insane Difficulty Walkthrough:
-----------------------------------------
I recently beat cold blood after 2 dozen attempts and have decided to share
my advice on how to handle it on higher difficulties.
-=Day 1=-
Day 1 is the most important to get set up well with aphids. Immediately set your
base workers to grab food and begin digging towards the entrance. Once you have 7
of them, put them all in group 1 and turn off collect food and battle. Once you
have opened the entrance, immediately send them rushing towards the top left corner
of aphids. There is a 50/50 chance they make it without being attacked on the way,
it all depends on where enemies spawn. If they get caught up in battle, reset the
game and try again. By this point you should have 12 aphids, just set your workers
near it and let them gather, along with grabbing any loose food nearby.
Begin building 5-10 other workers and then build fire ant nests. Numbers matter
more at this point. Once you have the workers built, begin making risky plays near
the bottom to grab the other colony’s aphids. Keep upgrading and building until
nightfall, and keep your fire ants on the aphid stalk to prevent any theft. Even a
single aphid can make a massive difference at this point. Get at least a couple of
tier 3 army ants by nightfall, you will need a good mix of levels and numbers to
survive the frogs.
-=Night 1=-
Keep collecting off the aphids and any loose food nearby, you aren’t strong enough
to go out yet. In the base, break into the top left corner, and wherever else enemies
spawn so frogs don’t release them. Eventually, frogs should break into your base. In
order to cheese them in the beginning, set your workers to group 2 and your attackers
to group 1.
Send group 2 to attack, until the toad does the grab attack. This attack kills many
ants regardless of level, and also heals the frogs, and since ants fight head on it
will decimate you at this early stage. However, this attack has a cool down. Once the
cheap workers trigger it, rush in with your level 1-3 fire ants. They should be able
to take the frogs before they do the grab attack again.
Once you have beaten the frogs, begin collecting aphid dew and make a play to grab
any aphids you may have missed. Once you have grabbed most of them, make a play with
all of your fire ants to the other aphid colony under yellow control. This should
bring you up to around 19 aphids, although 1-2 lost during transport is fine. Keep
collecting dew and expanding underground, although don’t kill every enemy underground,
since some frog spawns take a while to get into base, which spreads them out and
makes them easier to handle. Slowly kill enemies over time to gather food and
reduce threat.
-=Day 2=-
Relax a little, gather dew and fight off the constant waves of enemies. Grab any loose
food and just keep upgrading and staying safe.
-=Night 2
Survive the frog invasion once again. It will be harder this time, but if you didn’t
kill all the enemies they should come in at a slow trickle rather than all at once.
Once you have done this, you can try going to the islands in order to grab rogue
aphids, if you have enough units to cross the water. The top right one is your closest
and best bet for this night. Once you grab these (or don’t) just stay safe and keep
collecting. Keep fire ants or those 5-10 workers on the aphid stalk at all times.
-=Day 3=-
Again, stay safe. keep collecting dew and fending off attacks. You’re probably strong
enough to attack a base now, but if you attack at daytime the other base will attack
you. Fend off their attacks and stay alive.
-=Night 3=-
Once you have handled the frog invasion, immediately begin gathering your army to go
and attack blue base. They are the weaker and closer base, and this should be your
first priority. Make sure you stop periodically on the march to let your ants clump
together, you don’t want them trailing into the mouth of a salamander or rogue spider.
Once you are nearby and all clumped up rush inside and immediately head for the queen.
Once she is dead ignore the base, the food isn’t worth it. Grab their aphids near
their base and bail. Collect any other aphids on islands you can and continue expanding
below ground.
-=Day 4=-
Continue staying safe and expanding. Expand everywhere underground now that you have
less attacks coming, and beat all enemies there.
-=Night 4=-
Beat off the frog invasion, and now it is time to attack yellow. If you don’t feel
confident continue gathering aphids and loose food. The pine cone to the top left should
be safe to grab now. You can attack on night 5 instead. Once you are confident though,
destroy yellow base. They don’t have any aphids left at this point, and the food isn’t
worth it, it will just free you up to fight the bullfrog in the morning.
-=Day 5: Bullfrog Time=-
Time to kill the behemoth. Put all your workers on dew collection, and begin attacking
the bullfrog. If you have enough workers gathering dew and replanting eggs, it should be
no trouble at all. Just keep spamming and swarming, and occasionally stop to clump your
ants up. At this point it is just a matter of time, resources, and replacement. Just keep
spamming your level 3 ants while collecting dew and placing eggs to replace any lost. At
this point it should take half a day, but it is doable.
Congrats, you have likely just won. This strategy still has a lot of luck involved due to
enemy spawns at the beginning and enemy movement patterns so it’s far from perfect. Just
reset the game if you can’t win or get a good start.
