Mod to add Playable Bugs into Starship Troopers Terran Command. Version 2.0 is compatible with Chemical Reaction update and Editor Release. The editor allows you to use the new units and tunnel system to make scenarios as the Bugs.
This version updates the mod to work with the release of Chemical Reaction update which added new fields to .csv files. It includes new units and some tweaks to the tunnel spawning system. Use this mod along with the Scenario Editor to create Bug missions.
