Swarm Assault Level 18 - Spiral



A pretty lengthy level. However, the first time I played this, I took a lot longer because I did not account for how quickly the seed ball plants can grow and spread if not weeded out at the earliest.
Well, just start production on Cannons, take existing cannons and others around the spiral conquering.. post cannons and groups of bazookas from conquered ant colonies as sentries to kill off seed balls as soon as they show up.. As for killing off the bull ants, I found cannons quite effective.. 4+ cannons in a row can easily kill off bull ants from a distance (unlike bazookas whose missiles keep missing the bull ants). Once you approach the spider colony overrun by the very quick black widows, you need a huge army to overwhelm them and take over the spider colony.. Bull ants in the front row could help will killing off the black widows.. but produce bull ants only towards the last moment from the closest ant colony because they make the seed ball situation much worse.. as getting close to a seed ball plant accelerates the spread of the plant.
I had made 2-3 mass migrations of cannons from time to time around the spiral while moving the army front.. just had to make sure they were not getting killed by seed balls.. hence the sentries everywhere.. In the final attack, I used a mix of bazookas and cannons only.. though I could've probably used  ladybugs also..
