Settings
Your gene-thief ant colony must defeat the counterpart colony.
You can only have 150 brood tiles before attempting the challenge.
Non-player colony
The formicariums are connected by a glass tube. Safe zone is the area between your surface nest entrance and the halfway point.
The counterpart colony has 22 gene-thief ant workers, 74 slave-maker ant soldiers, 57 trap-jaw ant soldiers, 66 army ant mediae and 40 army ant majors. It only has Second wind and Royal guard on hard, extreme and impossible. It always has Defensive and Aggressive brood.
The counterpart colony assembles its soldiers near the surface nest entrance and waits. It only advances when you move any ants out of the safe zone. It always follows your most recently placed pheromone marker. It retreats after it has taken enough casualties or when the male scientist is forcing you out of the nest.
If you invade the enemy nest, the enemy colony gather its soldiers near the underground nest entrance until the invaders are eliminated.
If you don't have any soldiers and stay inside, the counterpart colony immediately invades your nest.
Notable enemies
Other enemies are on the same side and are hostile to the ants.
The male scientist interferes directly in this mission. The enemy colony can also get caught in his attack. Seeds are dropped in the enemy formicarium 60 seconds after each activation of queen abilities.
If you are fighting in the enemy formicarium, the male scientist uses his hand to attack directly. It can inflict 4000 true damage on any creatures. He stops when you invade the enemy nest.
If you keep most of your soldiers inside, he knocks on the glass to stun and randomly damage any active creatures. He releases Green rove beetles, blue rove beetles and baby whip spiders in your formicarium to force you out They are inedible and increase in number after each wave.
If you are fighting outside of your formicarium, he occasionally releases leaf-mimic praying mantises or mole crickets in your formicarium to even the playing field. They are edible.
