[PC] [90s] Sci-Fi Strategy Featuring 3 (?) species: Humans, some Insects, and another (I forget)

Really all I remember about the game is it was about colony management and some warfare. There were, I think, 3 species including Humans, some sort of insect species, and a third that I cannot really remember.. Rock people maybe?

Anyway, all 3 species had a specialty. Humans being sort of all rounders, the insects being very zergy, and the other being more defensive maybe?

Your armies would stack up on your settlements before you sent them to war against the other species.

My biggest memory I guess is that the insects were fun to play because they developed SO FAST but I think their units might have been more flimsy or something.

Edit: Sorry, I can't believe I forgot to mention it's not Starcraft.

Edit2: Thinking a bit more on it I remember that it wasn't so much isometric as top down perspective. Pretty simple sprites too for the unit graphics. I don't recall it having like anything you would consider 3D rendering.

If I had to guess it was probably made before RTS/City builders really got into their 3D/Isometric POV era
