New Game Plus Ants?

I was under the impression that since the new game plus allows you to keep all your formicarium upgrades for story missions, you'd keep all of your unlocked ants and get to use them in those missions, in addition to keeping all of the unlocked abilities and stat increases for them.

However, trying the beginner missions on my new game plus I still only have access to the black ant workers and soldiers. Did I misinterpret this?

so if your black ants have meatwall in the formicarium, they will have it in the mission.
same with the stat increase, works with the workers and queen to.
queen having abilities and workers too.

Rip. Was hoping to get to play with all my ant species in the story missions in new game plus. Guess I'll just do that in custom.. no jelly for that though.
Thanks for the info.

would it be fair if you get access to fire ants in the leafcutter missions? they can be devastating in large numbers and only cost 40 to place tile and 4 to hatch (can even be 0 with pervasive!)

The little black ants were funny in that mission.

yeah i didn't really get the point of new game+. there isn't really an award. pretty much same gameplay except enemies are stronger, but you're also far stronger with the extra perks. so it kinda comes out in the wash imo.
plus i heard all achievements are locked once you start it. (im going back and getting all achievements since i didn't go to new game+)

You'll find NG+1 easier, but NG+3 is where things start to get tricky.

Originally achievements were disabled for NG+ but they are now attainable.

Is this really true? I've been putting off moving my colonies to New Game + ever since I did the first one. Not being able to continue the achievement hunt made me feel this dragging urge to finish them before moving on. If they've been re-enabled, maybe I can finally get some that would otherwise have been impossible for me.
