Hibernation - Impossible || Empires of the Undergrowth - No Commentary

A wintry level where you must help your wood ant colony survive the harsh winter of an alpine mountain range. Switch from gathering resources to vegetation (pine needles) - which provides warmth as it decays - in order to survive the coldest days. You have access to rapid-fire wood ants and heating chambers for vegetation storage.

Tips:
- Using a ton of workers will help you in this level. At least 60+ workers. You will want to use multiple marker groups to spread out your forces and collect more food/needles at once.
- Making ranged is optional for defending lines. It would be better to ignore enemies and just collect. More workers to collect means more food/needles gathered.
- Save up a ton of food after making all your ants and vegetation storage tiles. At least 200+ for respawns when your ants die from enemies/the cold.
- Gather up as much food as possible in the early game, you will want to focus on pure vegetation gathering before it begins to snow.
- Track enemy movements to prevent the wolf spiders and any adult beetles from getting into your path. It'll help reduce losses and make vegetation gathering more smoothly.
- Ignore the enemy colonies and don't try to fight them. Try to steal as much food from them as possible early on, especially the green and pink colonies. Once they die off, you can easily gather vegetation from their areas without having to worry about them responding to you.
- Even when it gets too cold, keep sending your ants out, respawned ants will have a short time where their speed is normal before they begin to slow down due to the cold. Just keep on gathering.
- Attempt to gather vegetation over the required amount, vegetation decays overtime and having a bit more over the needed amount can save you.
