Beginner guide

Start as the Queen, create a Worker, give it a short food route and watch one complete return trip before adding combat units or pushing into another area.

steps

Complete one stable collection loop

The first useful milestone is not a large army. It is one Worker repeatedly reaching food and returning without losing the route.

  1. 1

    Read the Queen position

    Treat the Queen as the colony control point and keep the first route easy to see.

  2. 2

    Create a Worker Egg

    The visible shortcut is E; use the current Food value shown in your server.

  3. 3

    Send the Worker to food

    Use the available order and watch where movement slows or turns around.

  4. 4

    Confirm the return

    Wait for the Worker to bring the resource back before making another change.

Use each visible order for one job

The August interface exposes three unit orders. Their names tell you the immediate command, while unit roles decide who should receive it.

decision

Choose the next egg by the missing job

Workers gather Food; Majors and Drones are combat units. Add the role your colony lacks instead of buying whichever egg is currently affordable.

Food is unstable

Add or redirect Workers and shorten their route before building a larger combat group.

Food keeps moving

Introduce Majors or Drones when nearby threats, bugs or colonies block progress.
