-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description from MobyGames:

Prometheus is believed destroyed, but the Cybrid menace has not ended. As the 
humans expanded out into interstellar space, we've found more Cybrids, and they 
will be exterminated wherever they are found...

As a new commander at Unitech, your job is to command your bioderms (cloned 
pilots) and the Hercs to mine the various planets in the system, wipe out any 
Cybrids you see, and eventually take out the main Cybrid nexus in the system. As 
you advance in rank you will gain access to more power tech, HERCs, and more 
valuable bioderms. Each planet has different terrain that'll affect how you 
fight, and your bioderms will grow in experience and even perish in combat. Make 
money by mining and killing Cybrids to afford the weapons, HERCs, and bioderms. 
With hundreds of different weapons (projectile, laser, plasma, missile, 
indirect, ELF, special) and plenty of other equipment to mount, and over a dozen 
different HERC models to outfit, variety is endless. With three systems to 
exterminate, there will be plenty of battles to perfect your skills.

The game itself is played like Earthsige, except in 2D overhead-semi-isometric 
view, turn-based hex movement. While the action can be a bit slow, the graphics 
are good, commands are intuitive, and coordinating fire among all the different 
HERCs to maximize destruction is not a simple task. You can even administer some 
chemicals to the bioderms to maximize their effectiveness temporarily (at a cost 
of some genetic instability, which could be fatal if prolonged).

After copying game folder to hard drive extract the v1.1 patch and run 
CSPAT11.EXE to patch. When initializing the patch it will ask for the location
