Workers are of the same efficiency as soldiers in terms of HP value for equivalent food cost, with workers in-fact being better due to the high damage attacks of several enemies in this level, combined with the fact that having more ants allows you to get more food more quickly. Melee soldiers should never be used as tanks unless you're going to try for surviving past the victory screen. N3 W2: Not having enough workers for N3 W1, leading to the spiders gutting your ability to reinforce, and allowing the sheer quantity of crabs to easily take out the poorly-supported rapid-fire ants. N3 W1: Not having collected enough food D3 to overwhelm the sheer quantity of stronger spiders, leading to the gradual elimination of workers and reinforcements. N2 W3: Not having collected enough food D2 to overwhelm the sheer quantity of spiders, leading to the gradual elimination of workers and reinforcements.

N1 W3: Not having enough food, firepower, or tanks to survive the sheer quantity of crabs, and overcome their massive health pools. Jimscheideler: Later made an improvement to Balanite's strategy and demonstrated how to use mortars to cheese large waves of enemies, and survive throughout the post-victory (a video showing this strategy with mortars for several nights past winning, before he manually quits: com/watch?v=HhJQhWkP-qI). Myself: First to complete it and submit evidence using an inefficient D1 strategy, as well as a unique N1 strategy that no longer works (a video taken later using Balanite's strategy w/ commentary using rapid-fire: com/watch?v=cKQUsQulvEk).īalanite: Determined an efficient and reliable, albeit difficult to pull off, D1 and N1 food gathering strategy (a video w/out commentary showing Balanite's playstyle and the execution of their strategy with rapid-fire: com/watch?v=nGfj6cO2FXI). Gave us a general idea of how to do it using underground food. Original thread that lead to this guide: This specific mission will be getting a written guide, as it is what has become the agreed upon most difficult mission to beat on the highest difficulty. This is a general strategy that has been discussed and refined on the official EotU forums, with the help of a few users there.
