Let's celebrate the 10th anniversary of Alpha Centauri by adding some fresh life 
!
Toxoactinia
A kind of super Mindworm, with a nasty bulging 'head' housing a malevolous mind, high mobility and great punch, available from the discovery of Retroviral Engineering:
Biogeotropo
A sort of biomechanical high-mobility super former, available since Centauri Genetics:
The AI understands them correctly and uses them. As a matter of fact the AI faction leaders will throw Toxoactiniae by lots on you, as Miriam demonstrates:
To install this mod, first make a safety copy of the units.pcx file. Then unzip the .zip below into your Alpha Centauri root directory.
To make them work you must add these two lines in the alphax.txt file, at the end of the #UNITS list (check the tags for spelling, maybe different in english versions):
Don't forget to add 2 to the number under #UNITS , so if v.g. it was 23, now it must be 23+2= 25.
Optionally you can also add this to the helpx.txt file (for the flavour):

Code:
#UNITDESC23
^ The nightmarish end result of a disastrous teratogen experiment by Doctor Zakharov, the {Toxoactinia} is a sort of hybrid mutant midway amongst a Chiron Midworm and a terrestrial scyphozoa. This dreadful creature is armed with batteries of nematocysts shooting stinging neurotoxic filaments of great lethality. Its harrowing presence also doubles its police capacity when in a base.
^
^ Deadly and with high mobility, Toxoactiniae are the bioweapon of choice for the unscrupulous faction leaders.
#UNITDESC24
^ {Biogeotropos} are artificial biomechanical creatures, developed in the University's biolabs by applying genetic engineering and cybernetic bioenhancements into the chironian native Spore Launchers.
^
^ The outcome is an excellent fungicide super former of high mobility, with some degree of Psi self-protection ability.
