Spider strategy

[SeattleMama]

I have found if you wait until dusk after the spiders have left their nests, and use a torch to set it on fire you can pick off the spiders one by one. Setting them on fire seems to be alot easier than fighting them with an axe.

Yeah. Just one problem: When the spiders are on fire, they start running around. When flaming spiders cone into contact with trees, the tree catches fire. When a tree is on fire, it will spread fire to nearby trees. See where this is going?

I've done burned down three forest.

It hasnt been a problem so far, a couple of burnt trees has taught me you can collect charcoal.

So far the best move has been to set fire to a large population nest area, and let the entire area burn. Then gather whatever spider meat I can and feed it to the pig people. Then that night when the spiders come out in force I have a militia waiting for them....which is great, since I spawned in a scary spider heavy zone!

Best way to kill spiders is to hire 5 guardpigs, burn their nest and run in circles while the guardpigs smash them to the ground.Plus, you can use their meet to hire new guardpigs or replace those who bravely died fighting my battles
