Tips

• Paralyzers are very useful in disarming attacking forces.. 
• Assault wasp can, when correctly positioned attack ant colony without being fire upon (in the direction of one turret and not in the perpendicular bisector of the 2 turrets).
• Similarly, there is a point where the cannon can safely attack a spider colony (in the perpendicular bisector of the 2 spider-colony-turrents). Don't give the colony as target to the cannon or it may go a bit too close.. just keep moving the cannon closer to the spider colony along the perpendicular bisector until it starts attacking the colony.. It will take quite some time to bring down the colony though with this approach. If you position very carefully, you can position 2 cannons side-by-side and both be in safe zone (but it may depend on there being no obstacles in the landscape also).
• Now, on the use of ninjas in colony attacks.
•  Ninjas vs Ant colony. Individual ninjas seem to be able to attack ant colonies safely from any angle. But at times, when attacked with multiple ninjas, some seem to get in shooting range of the colony turrets and get killed.. but mostly ninjas can safely attack ant colony fro any angle.
• Ninjas vs Beetle colony. Beetle colony turret gun is placed towards the North (top part of the screen) of the colony, and hence has slightly higher range in the 90 degree range from above around the central vertical. Hence, ninjas seem to be able to attack a beetle colony safely in the 270 degree range, all except the top 90 degree range. The unsafe range is - 45 degree to the top-left to 45 degree to the top-right.
• Ninjas vs Wasp colony. Somewhat similar to the situation with the beetle colony.. except, for the wasp colony, the turret gun is closest to the North-West (not North like the beetles), hence the safe zone is not vertically symmetrical. For sure, the whole Southern horizon (180 degree range below the center of the wasp colony) is safe to attack for the ninja. An attack from the exact vertically above position (to the exact North of the wasp colony) is a safe spot; but a spot to the left or right is unsafe - this was a bit surprising to me. There seem to be some safe spots to the North-East, but I usually try to stay below the equator if possible, while attacking.
• You can attack a beetle colony with short ranged units when it is busy handling some neutral growth (thornbush, popcorn plant etc) and avoid getting attacked yourself (useful in some situations).
• In some hard levels, your victory  may depend on chance events like how the 2 enemy colonies are panning out.. If one color ends up dominating too early, then you may not stand much chance, and may have to restart (that's what I think).
• Scorpion colonies are the most resilient and have the longest base defense - equal to the reange of missile spiders, but only in the Northern horizon. Missiles can safely attack scorpion colony from below (180 degree range of attack below the horizontal like through the center of the scorpion colony).
•  Seed balls spread quickly if left unchecked.. relevant where long journeys have to be made in swamp terrain. Similarly, thorn bushes spread a lot in the desert landscape. Kill them off early if possible... unless you want these obstacles to protect from enemies.
