I'm home, where are you?
4 different spiders... Mostly realistic (except for the size). The only major change is the hourglass symbol on the Black Widow... On the actual spider it is only on the underside of the abdomen.

Also if you think it moves too fast in the game you can go into the INI file and change these numbers 'Normal Speed=225 Fast Speed=225'

A lower number will slow the movement of the unit when it is running... Not the speed the animations play at but the speed of the unit moving on the map. I wouldn't lower it much below 175, but a little trial and error here might be needed.

UPDATE

I've fixed the walks for the last three... Basicly it was a sequence problem.

If you're having a problem with the Wolf spider download try this one...

I also had a problem when I tested the original one... But this one seems to have downloaded and opened ok.

They're so UGLY! UGH! I Hate Giant Spiders. The WORK is fabulous though. An the Animation, espically with the spiddting spider. Here, Ugly is a complement. First reply.
 
... the itsy bitsy spider came up the water spout... :lol:

Dang cool idea, Kinboat!
 
Those things are F---ing creepy!!!!!
 
That is awsome. Now I will have a variety of spiders for my mod. These are much better than the one I was using. Great work Kinboat.
 
Creepy, VERY creepy. the almost look like the real thing. it scares me. my favourite is the spitting spider.
 
Autumn just started, it can't be christmas already!

Seriously, Kinboat, you may have just relit my fire for modding. Thank you.
 
Wowsers!
Now I have to decided which one of them I'm going to replace the WH mod spider with... oh, it's a hard life.
 
Ah Spiders are so cute! I'd keep one as a pet(a Tarantula because I heard they are very affectionate), but my my Mom won't let me... :(

Hey Kinboat, you should do a Queen Spider(Make it as big as Civ will alow), and color it red. Special Abilities: Carries other Spiders over land, and enslaves enemy units into smaller spiders. Amesjustin could use her as Spega(Or whatever her name was) from the 1970's era Godzilla films...
 
I don't suppose I could convince you to stick an armored knight on top of one of those? No? Oh well. Thanks for the units, these are excellent!
 
OMG!!!!! :cooool: :drool: :thumbsup:
It looks like these units were made for me!
This is PERFECT in every way for my mod (see sig). It will go in instantly without thought. This is EXACTLY what I need. This forum has gone too long without a nature unit!
:worship: THANK YOU KINBOAT :worship:
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
:thanx:
My birthday has come early!
:clap: :banana: :bounce: [dance]
How can I ever repay you kinboat?

P.S. I have officially joined the kinboat fanclub!
 
An armoured knight... or a goblin... or... hmm, I don't think kinboat'll make so many nice units if I bug him when he does release new ones ;)
