Book ver 1.0 Page 3 Strat 2 Map : small , red ants
Small , for small for skippy , do not imagine the enemy is far away...
Enuff of that , this strat of small is the best there is for the map , i took red as an example becuz it has more advantage at thee strat , but if ur greenie , still can use it.
follow these steps again and memorize them then try to use them , bet you will improve :D
#1. As quick as you can be , use CTRL + A and command the ants to get the swimmie , but command the one on the bottom to get the food on the bottom of ur side , command the one thats in lead to get the swimmie and use another one to wait for a powerup under the flower and the one thats left to get the food along the swimmie powerup , after u give all the commands to the ants , the swimme should be powered up , go use the swimmie to get the enemy's foods(BUT BECAREFUL WITH YOUR SWIMMIE , IF IT GETS KILLED YOU PAY THE PRICE BY LOSING THE GAME)after u sent ur command to let the swimmie get far food , the powerup from the flower should drip by then , whichever it drips (if you get an bomberant , see if the enemy is eating ur food sumwhere , if he is, bomb the food to prevent that from happening , if he doesnt have any intention to , dont waste time)
#2. Do not worry when your behind in food (anyway if ur behind , u cant be left behind very much , only a 100 - 200 somewhere like that) becuz wen the opponent runs out of food and you still dont , you win the game closely , but it always works so dont worry.
#3.If the opponent tries to kill you , use the bomber to put sum temporary bombs and send all ur ants there and wait for the enemy to attack , if hes smart , he'll retreat (heres a rule- "ZtratZ Rule #28 Never work army with mass bombs" , means never attack with an army if there is lotsa bombs where the attack target is , never) if he continues on , he dies. If he retreated , its still his loss cuz he wasted that amount of time to stop getting food , while after you can go and get food as soon as he retreated into safe territory.
#4. Always try to get an fireant , cuz the opponent can always block the flowers wit ants and fire ur hill up , so always get an fireant , and never let the opponent get close to ur flower , cuz u never kno wat hes thinking.
#5. Always try to get extra swimmie powerups becuz after the food is gone and u need to eat the middle food , u need swimmies to eat them , if u build bridges , its too dangerous...the enemy might kill ur ants right there. If you only have 1 swimmie , just let the swimmie to eat the food in the middle , while sending ur other ants thats not getting food to fight them(At this point the game is at the very end) , cuz we dont want them getting food. At this time the game is almost done , aka. the last few seconds so if u can prevent them from getting food then u win , cuz if u follow those steps on top , u dont need to fight them , ur in lead big time !
Final Thought. Well be careful for this , wen theres a swimmie powerup , keep in mind to use a regular ant to get it , cuz if u switch the swimmie for ur bomber or fireant , its a little scary, so use a regular ant. Thats not necassary though if the enemy is not offending at all , dont got no fireant , and no intention to do nothing , if thats the matter , u can switch using any powerup for a swimmie.
The phrase on top might sound quite weird to you Westerners , but its the art of chinese vocabulary , just that phrase speaks a very important part of the strat ... Always keep an eye on the enemy , go read it , try to figure it out , its self explainable heh ill always write stuff like that on top , its like a main idea or theme of the whole strat , very interesting...
More to Come ! ! :))
