Whilst the 2 leafcutter ant colonies vie for dominance, 2 new colonies have arrived on the scene. Take command of the devastating exploding ants as you eradicate a fire ant colony from their native home.
Objectives
- Eliminate the fire ant colony.
Settings
Your exploding ant colony must defeat the fire ant colony before it grows too large.
The mission starts during the day.
Pine cones and dead creatures are scattered on the forest floor.

Leafcutter ant colony (blue)
The blue leafcutter ant colony doesn't cheat. It only gathers leaves around its nest. It doesn't invade your nest.
It only has minors.
Leafcutter ant colony (yellow)
The yellow leafcutter ant colony can occasionally spawn ants without requiring food. It mostly gathers leaves to the north and to the west of its nest. It doesn't invade your nest.
It only has access to stun majors.
