Re: almost OT
Another nice idea to be stolen from Insectoids is the unit that shapechanges permanently from a mobile unit to an immobile unit. This reminds me a bit of slime molds and the way they ambulate. It would be interesting for a fungus nation to have relatively weak but fast units (Zerg, anyone?) that could attack a province en masse, take it over-suffering heavy losses-but then compensate for those great losses by the few survivors permanently transforming into heavy immobile PD supporters (growing into the ground like creep colonies-Zerg again).
