Any chance you could fix their hitbox for crossbows? It's near impossible to hit them with one even at max stats. If you can do that you would genuinely be my hero.

Okay, I've reduced the squad size. Now there will be 25% less spiders than previously.

Tbh doubling the spiders and halving their damage would probably just make them harder. Sure they do half but now you are taking heavy damage much more often.

Maybe if the squad size was increased by 25% rather than double it'd be fine but that's just me.

if it was not double then i would go for the mod.

yeah doubble is a bit much i think too, but anything that stopps the one shotting of my people is good. (i do not have good armor yet)

While I do appreciate this mod I do think that increasing the amount of blood spiders does balance stuff out, though personally I think double is a little much. still great mod

its cool bro i appreciate your work and ty for making us something so we dont have to! have a great day sir!

@cougar206 This is really just to stop the blood spiders from hitting like a truck. Yes, spiders are blind, but not everyone rolls around in stealth all the time.
As I said in the previous post, I'm just trying to reduce spider damage in a balanced way until I release a total balance overhaul.

@psanhueza There's no chance of being able to add anything special to attacks with the current tools available. As far as making the spiders attack faster, which, I'm guessing you mean more often. That's a little complicated. Attacks are related to the attack stat. The difference between the attackers attack stat and the defenders attack stat determines how many attacks are given. For example, if you have 40 attack and the blood spider has 30, then you will attack two times for every one that the spider does.
So, I could increase the spider attack stat so they attack more frequently, but that would also lower your block chance significantly. This would also begin to have negative effects on other squads.
This was intended to just be a simple mod to reduce spider damage in a balanced way.
Anything more will be in my overall balance mod.

i wonder even adding a burning effect or acid affect to the spider's attack is possible seeing as we have those already in the game

could buff their dps to attack as often as an iron spider but deal less dmg for obvious reasons. One being an organic lifeform. Could also make skin spiders do alittle more dmg since they are bigger and badder than your neighbourhood blood spiders. i do wonder if adding a poison effect for blood spiders in the future would be possible......oh how i wish the game tools were out...

Spiders are so slow that they don't matter at all. Not sure I get the point of this. They are also blind to stealth. So spiders are a non event. If you can make them a lot faster then they matter. Otherwise they don't.
