Tutorial

The tutorial is mandatory for every account. It takes a new player from level 1 to level 8 over seven chapters.

(The tutorial should not be confused with the event "The Ants: Complete Walkthrough" which also gives players information about how to play the game but is optional.)

## Tutorial Summary

† Total tiles in colony, including immobile tiles such as the Queen and resource locations.

‡ Only buildings built as part of the tutorial are listed. Additional buildings are unlocked but do not have to be built.

## Tutorial Script and Details

#### Script (no tasks)

It's a great place for a Builder Ant Habitat

<Player is prompted to finish building the Builder Ant Habitat.

With a builder available, Worker Ant Nest can be built to hatch more Ants.
