Skill set 2: Evasive (95% chance of no damage if hit out of combat) or Defensive (No more than 20 damage in a single hit from an enemy, and reduce incoming damage by 20%).Skill Set 1: Aggressive Brood (Attack Damage x3) or Efficient Brood (No slow in nurseries, higher movement speed, increased food harvested, job completion x2).Upgrading improves Health, Speed and Job Completion speed, at lvl 3 they get a damage increase.Worker ants do the nest work, having more of them in the nest means respawning your army goes faster.You can only pick one of the two options for each skill set.

You can have a variety of ant species in your Formicarium, and you can spend Royal Jelly to purchase skills and upgrade levels for their Nursery Tiles. This can be a way to stop soldiers from leaving a battle with food, or get a group to stop fighting something you don’t want them to. You can turn off a group’s ability to gather food or defend using the Knife/Fork or Shield icons, clicking on them will disable them, clicking again will turn them back on.You can see this by the grey number on the old marker (Pictured above) When putting down a new marker, it will take a moment for Ants to switch over to the new location.Pheromone group are the way to organize your ants and multitask your strategy, commanding multiple groups of soldiers and workers to different locations. It is a good idea to always have some Workers in this group, and the more Workers you have, the faster things will get done. The Queen’s Group takes care of nest duties like replacing eggs as they hatch, and burrowing. In the center of your screen is the Pheromone groups, numbering from 1 to 5 and including a ‘Queen’s Group’ at the far left by Group 1, which cannot be commanded. I find success by building a winding path near the Nurseries branching out to the refuse heaps Don’t want it too far from the hub of your nest or there will be a lot of wasted time running back and forth. Have it away from Nurseries and paths for normal ants, as it poisons them.For Leaf cutter ants, having a entrance to the food storage near the Nurseries will speed up the delivery of leaves to the fungus.

Have a surplus of food to cover respawns.Have a second group of fighters on your Queen for when he releases the wolf spiders, as they will run past your fighting army at the front of the nest and go straight to her.Again, it is easiest to bottle-neck the enemy underground at the nest entrance.He will also drop Tiger Beetles and Wolf Spiders.The Scientist will send increasing numbers of Black, Gene-thief, and Wood-ants at you.
