Eventually you want them, but never right away.
you will get a lot more out of workers ultimately. I didn't mean that I was fighting the colony, i was referring to the fact that 3.1 is a mission where you race another colony to be the first to harvest 10k leaf debris.Īlso, are you recommending to bypass the Media ants and just focus on the worker and majors? Media are too expensive at first. Often, i will get down about 6-8 worker tiles, some deposit for debris, and leaf spots. You can't expand easy, and the more debris you have, the slower food coversion. You will want to do this to build up some fungus room.
Start building several workers, and have everyone leave the nest, farming. You will want a tunnel to the exit immediately, a room near your hatcheries for disposal, and leaf deposit near the entrance.
That said, Leaf cutters have to expand outside the colony quickly. Originally posted by Formous:Leaf cutters are fairly unsuited for fighting a enemy colony, so I wouldn't fight a colony.
