Another extra level here, this time we play as a black ant colony. We have access to two different aphid plants, guarded by tiger beetle larvae. We must grow our colony in order to fight off and survive hordes of enemies that appear during the day and invade your nest at night. Our objective, survive 6 nights of enemies.

Tips:
-Cull whenever possible. (Very important)
- A small group of extra nest workers.
- Secure at least one aphid patch and have a small group of workers collect while a group of soldiers defend from ladybird beetle waves.
- Tons of respawn food left in reverse for attack waves. You can always sell a few soldier tiles if you need the extra food.
- Completely up to you to upgrade your soldiers or not, I didn't because I wanted to have my forces to cover more enemies.
- Due to the rebalance, gathering more underground food is necessary for more soldiers. Try to clear the underground before day 5.
- Enemies drop even less food now, try not to lose too many ants in pointless battles that you aren't ready for.

Day/Night 1:
- Gather all easy underground woodworm and woodlice. These will be easy to get because they are completely defenseless.
- Once you gather all those, locate a Devil's Coach Horse Beetle larvae pack, and cull them all.
- Once night hits, regather back in your nest and defend.

Day/Night 2:
- Once the final devils coach horse beetle larvae have been dealt with, you will want to secure at least one aphid patch. I would recommend the patch that is to the left of your nest, as it's the closest one. Have 7 workers collect dew and your soldiers kill the beach tiger beetle larvae.
- Once the aphid patch is fully cleared of Beach Tiger Beetle larvae, start making your next group of soldiers, these will be used to defend the aphids from ladybirds.
- The creatures that should be a priority to kill are the Devil's Coach Horse Beetle larvae and Beach Wolf spiderlings. Target these first and fight the Hermit Crabs inside your nest.

Day/Night 3:
- Keep harvesting the aphid dew with the one set of workers.
- Target the Devil's Coach Horse Beetle adults and small Beach Wolf Spiders.
- Whenever there is time, go after the Devil's Coach Horse Beetle larvae and cull their numbers. Once again, leave the Hermit Crabs for last and fight them inside your nest.

Day/Night 4:
-If you can still hold on to the aphid patch, continue to harvest, if you cannot hold onto it, use all your soldiers to cull. If you cannot hold the aphids, recall those 7 aphid workers to do nest work.
- Target the Tiger Beetles, medium Beach Wolf Spiders, Beach Wolf Spiderlings, and the Devil's Coach Horse Beetle adults.
- Locate the spawn point for the Beach Wolf Spiderlings and keep your soldiers there with attack off to pick them off one by one.
- Go for medium Beach Wolf Spider, Tiger Beetles and Devil's Coach Horse Beetle adult in that order when they spawn.
- Leave the big Hermit Crabs for last, once again. Unless if you have time to kill some, leave the Hermit Crabs alone.

Day/Night 5:
- The aphids have served their purpose, to give you enough food to build a large enough army. If you haven't abandoned them, do so now.
- Keep one group of soldiers with gathering off to kill the Devil's Coach Horse Beetle larvae.
- Use two groups to deal with the adult Tiger Beetles, small Beach Wolf Spiders, and Devil's Coach Horse Beetle adults in that order.
- Whenever possible, try to kill the smaller Hermit Crabs and leave the big ones for last.
- If you ever run out of food, you can always sell some soldiers and remake them later.

Day/Night 6:
- You will want to target the huge Beach Wolf Spiders first, and one group of Tiger Beetles. Overall, there should be 8 huge Beach Wolf Spiders and 8 adult Tiger Beetles.
- Fight any remaining enemies in your nest and hopefully you have enough food to win.
