Shockwave. One of the remaining mods still being updated for a 3 year old game. For people new to this mod, it doesn't attempt to create entirely new game, only to add new units, structures, superweapons to make the game a more enjoyable experience.
Now with their 6th or so release, Shockwave is a very complete mod. Any unit that you could imagine (if possible) is included with this mod.
Now enough talk, there's bug fixes, more units, and a heck of a lot better AI in this version. Download it now.
