Ants Ants Ants!

An average difficulty single player map. While it started as a survival type "play as long as possible" goal, I decided on changing it to a standard style mission.

In this mission, you find yourself smack in the middle of a nasty trash heap. There's fruits and sugary foods all around you, and you know what that means… Ants! Ants and cockroaches will encroach your base from eight angles constantly, as soon as the map begins even! You must quickly set up defenses to hold them off while you go about your main goal: Destroy all the nurseries. I gave players some starting facilities and towers to help with slower builders, so don't be alarmed when you spot enemies nearly instantly after the intro. Also, since vanilla ants are already so squishy and easy to deal with, I introduced some extra challenge by filtering what units you are allowed to build; You are only allowed to build units without splash damage. (Except for the DumDum, as I filtered Choppers instead.)
