its an old RTS game much like starcraft and warcraft, but its i guess with alient plant monster things. you build buildings like in the old starcraft or warcraft games. please help me remember the name of it. it came out bout the same time dark colony did.
a little more info. the game had bout four classes, one which looked like plant human combinations.. wish i had more info.

It sort of sounds like one of the War Wind games or maybe KKND

YES! thats it War Wind, thank you very much, now I must find a place to download it!.
