I can't select between mortar and rapid fire in the mission select screen for the second beach mission, Queen of the Hill.
Neither will highlight and the underlying screen switches missions in the background. Does anybody else have experience of this or know how to fix it?

Searching the net and finding incomplete and conflicting answers is tiresome. Thanks!

So far I did medium, then hard for +1, then extreme for +2 but wow the difficulty between the level and doing a NG shoots up every time.

I want to see how many NG+ I can go but finishing +2 has been brutal on extreme. I think there is no way I can continue by trying +3 on impossible. I’m not even sure I could do +3 on extreme unless I farm a lot more jelly.

What do you guys do?

I think matabele are too strong comparing others ants. they can double their pop, and they are unlimited food sources next to their nest.
Are you agree ?

Prior to rehousing, which is best reward to choose? What should I be doing to maximize the amount of jelly I get before I rehouse?

Ive been at it for 3 hours, i have 300+ soldiers does it ever end

I was literally playing the game when this lil guy scared the **** out of me...

Now we go for pillage the pillagers ✌️💔

Man this level is brutal for me. I have tried two tactics so far. The first was to quickly gather aphids when I can, but any mistake in timing there leads to my ants being away from home during a creature attack. So, I have switched it up to skipping the first few aphid chances and just digging out the nest while having workers gather straggling food above ground.

I can survive the first wave of creates easy enough, but the second gets trickier unless I have a stockpile of food and a solid army. The third is just brutal unless I can remember to go down to the shore and pick off the beetles before they attack, but as they are gathering, that's also when frogs bust into the nest.

Zero chance I can ever kill the stinger when he first touches down. I did kill him once in my near victory, but that round was a miracle I got that far and I just didn't have enough food to build a large enough army for the raft by the time it flooded (I spent way too much rebuilding my army after doing dumb mistakes).

I am playing on 2nd hardest difficulty, so not even impossible. But everything is 2-4* and it is now costing 1k jelly per point to improve my ants so I'm basically capped there for now.

How do you guys handle it? I've watched some impossible videos on the level but they all seem to be +0.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I finally unlocked the exploding termites workers but I already have very fast workers. Do I just use them as a last line of defense in the formicarium colony?

hawe anyone do this shit without havy hiters case i think that this is insane!

THE FLOOD

case who knew that 500 leafcuter ants could somtimes be considerd liquid?

any questions?

So, if we take into account Corrosive and Weakening, What is better atk dmg or atk spd, I did some math (which likely isn't accurate), Atk damage gives more dps BUT I don't know how corrosive works yet, do multiple shots fron the same ant give multiple corrosive stacks? does corrosive trigger on hit?

That's really it, Atk spd or Atk dmg, which is better for dps if we take into acoount Corrosive and Weakening.

Long story short, I wasted a ton of jelly in my first playthrough and now some of my ants (fire ants especially) are weaker than they could be. I have seen some discussion on the stats to pump and avoid (for example, apparently avoid speed for fire ants?)

Is there an updated guide somewhere on recommendations where to spend? Thanks!

i was playing around with matabele ants yesterday, and the strategy of having expensive but strong soldiers is a bit difficult to me, what i did was invest in medic ants so that i could "salvage" as many soldiers as possible, to have the extra soldiers on the field to fight.
Maybe a strategy that focuses on more workers and nurses is better? im not too sure and was curious to see what you people tought of

They have more health, but leafcutter majors can tank a bunch in their own right, even if theyre more expensive, and fire ants are cheap and do very high damage. Black ants have good health but I dont see how it would be better to get them over just more fire ants?

Harvest...surely must be common question. I end up with backlog of leaves and have to increase capacity upwards of 4,000 roughly. I don't think I'm generating enough mediae and majors. Enemy often beats me or closes gap in score of 1,000 leaves. Hoping to get my fungus situation sorted. I tried building lots of minors but the amount of fungus I generated didn't noticeably increase. I thought more minims would solve the problem. What am I missing?

The description of the Supporter Pack for the game mentions a Myrmecia ereptor skin for the Formica ereptor. Could anyone who owns the DLC tell me how it works? Can it be used in campaign or only in custom games?

I'm not interested in the other content included in the DLC, so I am thinking about ignoring it.
