Anyone else play this game?

Im getting extremely EXTREMELY frustrated with it. The enemies duplicate way too fast and the AI is the worst I have ever seen in an RTS. There is literally NO pathfinding at all. Your men just walk in a straight line and will get stuck in water. They have do not navigate at all.

I liked the game before, but this is just getting infuriating. You have to use explosives to kill spiders, usually between 3 and 6 grenades or rockets per spider. The spiders can jump very very far and kill 5-10 men at a time (when you can only have squads of 6). Your explosives kill your men instantly if they are caught within the blast (Which they always are, because the spiders fight close quarters). The spiders multiply rediculously fast and pile up like crazy. At one point I had 20-30 of them in one area.

How the f*** am I supposed to do this?

I dont understand why the made this game so rediculously unbalanced for the player. I dont care how cool it is that the virii multiply in complex ways, I just want to progress through the damned game.

Im actually regretting buying this. It got rave reviews but for god's sake, if this is all that the rest of the game consists of, count me out.

EDIT: On top of all this, I can no longer do any research for some reason. I researched a few things and they helped a little bit, but I need far FAR more firepower to beat this level (its the Yard level). Now, none of the research progress bars move any more. There wasnt any indication of why this would happen, and the manual (in pdf format through steam) is 4 pages long and explains nothing. So basically, Im stuck with retarded AI, terrible weapons that do nothing but kill my own men and no way to improve any of it... nice job developers.
