While media are worse at combat and harvesting than minors or majors, having a portion of them is still a good idea (I think the recommendation is at least one for every major) since you'd spend more building only majors and minors. Majors are optimal combatants, being the most efficient fighters for their cost. You are not just promoting better harvesting or better brood/nest management. This shouldn't be your main priority for the most part, but it is a bonus of using some minors to harvest, or just having more minors in the nest. Since every brood chamber provides a minim, minors are the most efficient tile for making food processing more efficient. Minors are actually faster harvesters than media, being the most efficient gatherers for their cost. Leaf and refuse chambers, like food chambers, are better upgraded than building new ones.
