Free mode is to easy

[Diaz]

i played on the scale diffucilty and it was waaay to easy.once my ants go to the surface.they have unlimited food.also i would like to invade enemy ant colonies

1 to easy
2 let me invade enemy ant colonies
3 make the map bigger


btw is scale with colony the easiest? and constant the hardest? lol i might have gone wrong here..but still 2 and 3 is somthing i would like to se

I would say scale is one of the easiest, there is no reason for you to never be ready.
I think ramp with spikes would be hardest, because at time it may start spawning waves that are to strong, so you will have to have food reserves etc to survive and a well layed out nest, but it will spike down giving time to recoup for next wave, but game will cinstaly get harder over time, so it will eventually be a lose, scale is guaranteed to always be something you can handle if you build a good amount of soldiers, ramp is constant difficulty without spikes but could still eventually get to hard if you don't continue to grow, but I would expect less surprises and really hard waves because the ramp is small but constant, so you'll be able to see the visual effects of things getting harder slowly for your ants thus allowing you to prepare ahead of time.

I play ramp with spikes but expect to lose if you have a crappy start, also for the challenge I started a new formicarium and used that worker ants only with no upgrades trying to hold my nest, a couple devil horse roaches killed my queen, but I find this fun to play like this record my score then go play 1 campaign mission for Royal jelly get unlocks and repeat another sandbox on hard like this and try to beat my old score.
It makes it I'm possible at start but when you survive the start and start to grow it makes the sandbox that more rewarding because I almost never survive 10 minutes after opening entrance right now

[BLACKcOPstRIPPa]

I find most games are more rewarding if you find a way to play yourself, not the envirnoment or others, at least for me it's seeing constant improvment that drives me to try harder and harder

wooo got destroyed in 1 sec after picking the constant option...ps thats good^^

Ramp with spikes can only be hard at the beginning, later on its easy too, but on ramp with spikes i can send my troops over the whole map, with scale with colony not, because there are so many enemys.

[Diaz]

i thought the spike mode was easy..constant destroyed my ant instant..we got 2 big beatles inside and we got destroyed
i had like 20 ants

[Shorkan]

Its random, so it depends what landmarks near your starting points. Each mode can be hard, if your position is bad and easy when is good. But when you survive the beginning you should be always ok, maybe not with black ants, but wood ants can handle all what comes.

hoooooooooly ♥♥♥♥ i made it on the hardest lvl...it was hela hard

[Forcedge]

You guys can turn off nest invasions too and it won't matter. I find that once your colony gets big enough it's not gonna matter if nest invasions are on or off, because you'll constantly be having ants coming in and out of the nest with food. Nest invasions seem like an obstacle for the early game only.

[Shorkan]

The only hard thing is, when you play with black ants, because they need so long to kill the enemys.

Every time i opened the door a big spider/beetle would run in and kill the queen.

Every single game.

I cannot relate to anything the op stated.

I had a few issues but now find it extremely easy. Even the uber creatures don't pose a problem. There is just too much food and not enough challenge. The main "story" mode balances this with ant attacks, which drain your numbers but offer no food as a reward. Once you reach a critical mass (which isn't a very large number) it doesn't matter how many ants you lose because every battle will be a net gain in food.

[Diaz]

yes once u hit a serten lvl of ants.theres pretty mutch no challenge.The free mode needs some kind of end game challenge.

[Inixus]

Find the first 20 mins of any freeplay mode the most fun, after that its just mass build/upgrade and try to not get the storage is full message to often and quit when underground is 90% full. By the time the ubers come you just steamroll over them (at least i do).

free mode is boring, like the rest of the game
