Alright I'm thinking of making a "Tremors" mod for ZH. If anyone has seen the movie Tremors 1, 2, 3, or 4, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't its about giant worms that eat people.

Anyways the mod will add a new faction, the "graboids". They'll be sorta like the Zerg from SC, or the aliens from AVP extinction. You start out with a cave system as your command center and a war factory idea is under the process of being thought(that didn't make much sense, any ideas? ^_^') And your one unit you start with is a single graboid. Even though they have no superweapons or guns they can grow into hellish numbers rather quickly.

In the movie the worms morph into 3-6 little things called shreikers, which can double number just by eating enough, which turn into these flying things that lay eggs that hatch into graboids.

Put on a chart it would be: Graboid--> 4(to 6) shreikers-->(Eating say, a group of rangers)8-10 Shreikers--> Assblasters(flying things)--> 10 graboids. Its exponential, and since they can burrow underground I thought maybe as a special ability the graboids could clear out all units from like, tunnel networks.

The mod is still in the idea phase(obviously)I just wanna know whatya think since I'm a bit sketchy about it myself.

the idea is good, reminds me of the alien race in earth 2160 since those had one starting unit which reproduced itself. and the unit that came out of that also changed into another unit again and so on. but they also had their basic starting unit change into buildings.
this looks somewhat like that race in earth 2160.

Thats why I'm a little sketchy, the idea reminds so many people of so many different alien races, its not really original. Even if graboids are supposedly from Earth.

Oh, the other idea I had was for each morph to have a special ability, graboids can dig hidden trenches to destroy tanks, shriekers can go stealth for 30 seconds every 2 minutes.

And the egg hatchings aren't instantanious, so, its not like within 5 minutes they could have 50 graboids, like the eggs take 30 seconds to hatch, then another 30 seconds for the graboids to grow to lethal size, ect.
