NapoleonBonaparte the1st (Napoleon)

#### Self-Intro

Napoleon was the first ICS member to fulfill the insane requirements made by Solsitium and Heolx. He was also the first to attempt, and complete The Other Foot on hard using workers only. Insane is possible, (done by Incan) and is still being worked on by Napoleon. Napoleon also apparently loves 4.1 so much, that he has gathered over 150,000+ food for his formicarium from playing it. Although not a speedrun master, he still likes to attempt new challenges.

## Interview

#### How did you first hear of ICS?

I heard of the ICS from Heolx and Solsitium in the Slug Disco server. They were talking about setting up a server where people who like speedruns and difficult challenges to submit their runs. I found out they made a list of requirements to become a full member of the ICS (separate from being a regular member) I asked Heolx for an invite and I was in

#### What made you want to Join ICS?

What made me join the ICS was the idea of doing difficult challenges. I was already an experienced player, but I knew I could get even better. I decided to try out to become a full member of the ICS. Within a week, all the requirements were met, and I was the first official member

#### What is your mindset for completing hard challenges/speedruns?

My mind set is getting that victory screen. I don’t want to completely burn myself out, so I give myself a couple attempts everyday to hopefully achieve that victory screen. Getting that victory screen after a difficult challenge is the most rewarding thing

#### What is your greatest accomplishment, and what went into it?

My greatest accomplishments would have to be beating Cold Blood and A Bridge Too Far without relocating any aphids. A Bridge Too Far was the easiest, while Cold Blood was the most difficult to complete, since the level required the aphid passive income. Both levels were done on insane.

#### What advice do you offer to those wanting to join the ICS?

My advice for any members wanting to join the ICS would be to keep trying and don’t give up. At the same time, don’t completely burn yourself out. If you want to become a member go for it. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for advice, that’s why we’re here.

#### What are your future goals?

My future goals for the ICS is to beat both Rising Tide and Queen of the Hill on insane without using any ranged wood ants. Melee wood ants and workers are allowed. I also want to complete The Other Foot on insane using workers only, which Incan beat me to, but I still want to finish it, just like I did for hard. I’m still thinking of some good challenges to do, but those will be kept secret for now.
