These Gosh Dang

Spiders. I used to have arachnophobia, but with those gosh forsaken SPIDERS that spawn in due to the pod shooter on the other island is quite too much for me. In order to kill a spider, I must kamikazie using 3 things- Airstrike, Rockets, or Grenades. All of them end up in me blowing up my own guys. I have problems now, not a phobia. ;-;

you can train your darwinians to level 4 and let them deal with them with grenades. or use that tank thingy. but first you should blow up those spider-egg spawning flowers..

I was thinking about trying to help my darwinians get into the assault cannon, and I've already given them level four, the problem is getting more darwinians. As I said, the flowers were on the other island, so it's kinda hard to get to them.

engineers can fly pretty much everywhere and program disks and portals. first thing i usually do is program everything on the map. sometimes you just have to spam engineers because viruses destroy them. you can even spawn squads before disk is fully programmed..

first thing i always do is go after those flowers that shoot the eggs - even if i have to spawn veritable armies of sacrificial squads to do it - many times the flowers are hidden up on a tall hillside and seem difficult to get too - but these are actually fairly simple if time consuming, squads are quite good at climbing, you just have to plot them far enuf around all the spiders on the best working paths and then launch grenades. If your flowers are near the spiders/worms in an active zone, then the key is distracting the spiders long enuf to get your engineers in to program a new "disk" then spam those squads at the flowers... as to islands, squads can SWIM quite well! Just make sure there are not a load of active virii in the water (more grenades) and send them out through shallower seas, the little gun-toting guys will happily plod along the bottom of the ocean at half-speed until surfacing on The Island of the Doomed Flowers
