Arachnophobia

"Arachnophobia" event description

That which many feared, has become a reality. Swarms of spiders started to slaughter everything living around their hatcheries. There isn't much time, we have to get the situation under control and protect our supplies. Hero, gather your best warriors and prepare for extermination.

The event lasts 6 days. The player has to raid neutral event camps in order to obtain the Spider Eggs – the currency of the event. The Eggs are used to purchase special artifacts, units and a spell in the Event shop.
