The concept I had in mind for an underwater mod was more fantasy (i.e. less high-tech) and had two factions.  The first faction is made up of aquatic humanoids and their animal companions, and they live in coral and kelp dwellings.  The second is made up of crab people and other invertebrates, and their buildings are cobbled together from scavenged materials.

Seafolk troops
  • Worker (gathers and builds)
  • Spear-fisher (light infantry, fights with a spear)
  • Harpooner (ranged unit, throws harpoons)
  • Triton (heavy infantry armed with a trident, evolves from spear-fisher)
  • Barracuda (fast-attack scout unit)
  • Giant moray (swimming unit, spits poison)
  • Megalodon (swimming unit, giant shark)
  • Trepang (food unit)
  • needs more
Seafolk buildings
  • Coral Palace (castle)
  • Seaweed Garden (farm, produces Trepang for food)
  • needs more

Invertebrate troops
  • Slug (gathers and builds)
  • Shrimp (infantry)
  • Crab Man (armored infantry)
  • Nautilus (behemoth, heavy armor and crushing attack)
  • Giant Squid (dragon, swimming unit, tentacle attack and toxic ink)
  • Starfish (self-replicating food unit)
  • needs more
Invertebrate buildings
  • Shipwreck (castle)
  • Conch shell (barracks)
  • Anemone/Barnacle (shoots poison)
  • needs more

Resources:
  • Coral (gold)
  • Stone
  • Kelp (wood)

Edit: Edited for clarity.

CRABS are VERTEBRATE! So are shrimps, ...
You're thinking of molluscs (invertebrate) AND crustaceans (vertebrate). ;)

EDIT: Erm, nevermind. I just made a complete fool out of myself! ;D ;D ;D
Crustaceans ARE INVERTEBRATE. ;D

Well, if anybody wants to start an underwater mod like Hectate's idea or mine, I'd gladly contribute a few models/whatever.  Also, I'm not very far from the beach, so I could take plenty of good sand and sea shell pictures the next time I head out that way. :) The mech warrior idea isn't really my forte (it's just not a mythos with which I'm that familiar) even though I would like to see a good sci-fi mod, so I guess I could try to help a bit.

lol No problem.  Honest mistake.
