Obscure RTS help

I need help finding the name on an RTS I played when I was younger but cannot find anything resembling it.
It was a sci-fi RTS that featured three alien races. The games main selling point was that all the races were biological and spawned monsters as units. These units were custom and were made in a module system I.E torso+legs+head.
I also remember that resources came from plants that had to be grown on a distinctive purple patch on the ground.
The only thing similar I can find is bullfrogs genewar but I'm pretty sure that isnt it.
Ring any bells for anyone?

Here's a couple screenshots but not alot out there for it (http://www.giantbomb.com/unnatural-selection/61-1058/)
Edit - Nevermind, that came out in 1993.
This was maybe 2001, I got a review copy of it.
From the description, it sounds like Metal Fatigue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Fatigue_(video_game) (Only with Mechanical Units instead of biological).
YES this is it
I remembered playing it and the box sitting on my shelf, a scale pattern of some sort. Try googling for a half-remembered version of that name and see if you can take more than a page of "I know it's not Starcraft Brood War!"
