Shattered Paradise is an expansion for Tiberian Sun on OpenRA, its goal is to (im)balance the game by adding new factions (Mutants, C.A.B.A.L. and Scrin) and reworking the original sides, all of this to create a game a little more varied and balanced than TS. The mod puts a lot of emphasis on making the factions as asymmetric as possible.
Where the Cyborg is Cabal's elite anti infantry unit, the Gladiator is the elite anti armor unit, it's big, slow, has decent life, and it's equiped with either rocket launchers or an anti tank cannon (I'm still deciding).
As a combat cyborg, it's augmentations allow it to fight even after suffering wounds that would kill a regular soldier.
