- Move ants from a selected colony to another location by clicking on the location marker and choosing how many to send.
- To change the game speed, click on the speed control buttons, or press 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the top of the keyboard. Note that pause is unavailable on normal difficulty, and pause and slowdown is unavailable on hard and insane difficulties.
- Know thy enemy. Each enemy has a different ability, shown on the sidebar, and have different strategies to capitalise on it. Use this information to adjust your own strategy and crush their forces.
- There is strength in numbers. Your colonies grow faster and hit harder the more ants are in them, so make sure you consolidate your forces when necessary.
Control the frontier. Each occupied location will grow your population, so don't unnecessarily leave a location empty. However, no ant colonies grow in a location where two or more colonies are engaged in combat.
- Use superior strategy: Utilise the Ant-pire's superior tactical prowess to gain the upper hand. Other ants will never leave a battle, but we know that victory can be gained by sending forces beyond the frontier or retreating from the enemy hordes where needed.
