Good idea. Should it deal chemical damage?

yes maybe with burning like effect

@Anchar this still needs new legs and corrected team colour. Also we need an indicator for acid (around 7×13 px) and a acid grenade sprite (make it 64×64, but the grenade should be rather small).

.

Is an acid grenade a grenade launcher or a hand grenade?

Well, both? A grenade launcher launches hand grenades, basically, right?

? I think no. How will a grenade launcher pull the pin from a hand grenade? Or I wrote it wrong (translated)

Idk, this is sci-fi, noone will bother with such details on something that flashes for a second anyway. I just want to be able to use only one sprite for both this unit's attack and antmen warriors' ability.

I initially forgot to correct their color, but later I threw off the correct version, you were ahead of me on the hike. Anyway, I changed it again, now everything should be correct.
