Here is an early screenshot from the game I am developing. It is a multiplayer (2 player) arcade style strategy game. One player controls a limited number of human soldiers and the other a more numerous bug/alien swarm. The interface for controlling the humans is quite different to that for the bugs/aliens. The humans use an interface common to most RTS games, drag select then click the point to move to. The bugs use a system whereby the user selects points on the map of strategic significance and the bugs distribute themselves evenly over these points as they arrive by meteoric spores.

Yes vegetation is something I have to work on. Haven't really made any yet (the trees are just placeholders for now) A quick note: This game is being designed on a Pentium 2 500 Mhz PC and as such will use billboard/sprite models for most of the units, but not all.
