We’re moving onto the swamp levels. We play as invasive fire ants as we try to take over the Green Swamp Preserve in North Carolina. There are much bigger, deadlier, and even hungrier creatures in these swamps. With that, in 4.1 we must expand our colony. However, there is an American Bullfrog that is in our way. And that, is our main objective, displace the American Bullfrog. However, there is something else waiting to strike after the bullfrog is gone…
This is a newer video to show off the strategy for the campaign rebalance for the public beta that is occurring and for the future update. If you notice anything different, this is an older version of the beta.

Tips:
- I recommend using vigorous ants. The buffs they give can help you greatly in the level by helping you get around faster and kill enemies easier.
- Get about 150 or more ants. It should be around 75 level 3 fire ants, since level 3 ants gain 2 soldiers.
- You should try to steal two aphid stalks, one from each enemy colony. This will help you get soldiers quicker and slow the enemy colony’s progress down for a bit.
- Try to avoid the enemy colonies until they come to your aphid plants. You can either leave the aphids to the enemy colony to prevent further raids or you can defend your aphids to secure your food source but suffer from constant raids from the enemy colonies.
- Try to kill the little black ant colony by day 2 at least. You should try to kill the bigheaded ant colony by day 3. After killing both colonies, steal their aphids and get the remaining island aphids.
- Have tons of food stored for the bullfrog fight, the bullfrog will be eating and killing tons of ants, so having tons of extra respawn food will help keep the flow of ants going.
- Always have extra nest workers. At least 60-70 extra nest workers to keep up with your 150+ fire ant soldiers.
- Have a separate group of workers to collect aphid dew at all times.
- The longer you take to beat the level, the harder the final amphibian wave will be. Try to finish the level by day 3 or 4.

(Rebalance):
- The fire ant levels have gotten slightly easier, with enemies dropping more food. With this, you can grow a little faster.
- Larger enemies are now mountable such as the toads and lynxs. This makes fighting a lot of enemies much easier.
