What do you think about this unit Hydro:

Controlled Insect Swarm
Requires Biopunk OR Cyberpunk
Requires Manupulated Insect Lab
Cost 1500
Movement 2
Base Strength 70
Collateral Damage to 20 Units, max 10% (per turn)
20% Early Withdraw chance
Weakness against Fire
-90% Against Tracked and Weeled Units
Targets any Melee, Gunpowder, Mounted, Healer.... (Unarmored Units) first outside a city

Also, I asked Sparth if he could retexture Nanite Swarm or Locust Swarm and he did. But the links he posted (in this thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=511194&page=2 Post 27 + 28) don't work so I'm not sure what to use as graphics.

Looks good.

Do you think they should be Kamikaze in that they are single use?

Interesting point... I'm totally on the fence with that. On the one hand, it makes totally sense that you controll your insects fo fight to the last, since they are easily replaceable.

Well, that's a good idea. They shouldn't really get experience and Promotions anyways... I can see them starting with some promotions such as "Ignores Terrain Movement Costs", "Forestry III"...
