Spider Infestation Balance Rebalance Part 3

[Hoolny]

I just started working on the newest spider changes mainly focusing on a change of direction to centralize the spider nest into one and adding a terrifying empress spider.

I have asked for feedback on spiders nearly everywhere except for here in the forums if you have any opinions or commentary on; bugs, balances, mechanics, or new ideas please put them here so I can look at them and incorporate them into the newest PR.

Okay but spiders either need spider chat or a pinpointer for the Empress.

Okay but spiders either need spider chat or a pinpointer for the Empress.

spiders do have a chat specific spiders those being;
Scout, Breacher, Broodmother and the new added empress

I could add a pin pointer for the empress but I dont see that as being fully necessary unless testing says otherwise.

Empress spider more like Empress Maia hello

My primary question with this direction is what seperates spiders, thematically, from aliens? If they have ascending tiers and a single overlord who orders them around that just seems to be bringing two VERY similar threats even closer.
