Swarm Assault Unit Production: ---------------- As you progress to the harder levels you will find that the usefulness of some units will change and you will have to change your tactics. For example the easier levels give you time to build the more powerful units. The harder levels however give you a lot less time, in which case it is sometimes better to produce large amounts of weaker units for defense or offense. Team Color: ----------- Have a look at the color you are playing and try to control colonies that this team color specializes in. For example if you are playing the green team you would try to gain control of Ant colonies since you could produce ant units faster than any other team giving you a strategic advantage. In extreme cases it may even be desirable to loose some or all your colonies to gain control of a colony type that you can specialize in. This also applies to enemy teams. No team specializes in scorpion production. Winning: -------- Note that to win you must be the only team color with any units and/or colonies and there must be no neutral colonies. There may be neutral units but you don't have to destroy them to win. This win condition must be held for about five seconds for the win to be recognized by the computer. Losing colonies after this does not prevent you from maintaining your win. Colony Defense: --------------- It is always a good idea to charge a base to a reasonable amount of health when it is low. To do this, make sure you are not producing any units (by clicking the same bug you are producing, if any), and it will automatically regenerate. If you take over a colony, make sure you charge it to at least yellow before producing units. BUT! Only do this if you are not needing units extremely fast. At low health, it is very easy for a colony to be taken over. And even if there arent any enemies around, there are still neutrals that fly around that can damage your colony. Also, check back at old colonies occasionally to make sure they are at decent health. Whenever you are not in need of units, charge your bases.
