Strategy created by SirTanku from the ICS discord.

Initially, build army ant media and wood ant melee in a 3:1 ratio. The melee can tank damage whilst the media deal it out.

Once your income reaches 80, save until you reach about 150 food, then place a media. After that, wait until your food reaches about 190, and place an army ant major. The objective is to get five of them fighting as soon as possible to initiate the flashbuff.

Note this strategy isn't about winning at first. It's about delaying the enemy until you can get the army ant majors out.
