Ha! This is very close to the thought process for the game. As much as I would love to save every ant, it’s more a case of figuring out how to keep some alive and where sacrifices must be made. A few evolutions can be helpful in not feeling like this is happening… But indeed, they’re often long forgotten when it comes time to harvesting resources.

Good luck to you, Krista! I like your ideas for adjusting the difficulty level by reducing the size of the hex stack. That may be my next move, pending the outcome. Losing at the moment still feels like I’m making progress, which is always a nice feeling. This is certainly a challenge! Here’s to hoping we both can defeat the broodmother soon!

I started to think it was impossible and then realized I was forgetting about the major worker’s scout ability. But the game after that I concentrated too much on getting a thorax evolution and a major worker out early and didn’t get a proper engine going. I’ve been playing on normal difficulty set up but without any Beyond the Meadow hexes included (except for the Nest of course). I’m going to give it a couple more tries before putting it back on the shelf. If I still don’t get a win I think I will dial back the difficulty by reducing the stack size by 1 or 2 more hexes.
