I was wondering if someone could design a creeping danger such as the Creep from creeper world or the blight from Outpost 2. Creep / Blight would come into the map from a corner of the map and after an amount of time spread out across the map. Wall can slow it down and research can improve the protection of walls.

Nice, big fan of those games as well.
Something similar that sprung to mind would be the plant "Spineweed" from space colony.

"This organic-metallic hybrid was genetically engineered by the Fribulan. Once it begins to spread, it is nearly unstoppable. Weeding posts are completely useless. Only cluster bombs can slow it down. Just be sure to get the bombs in place before the spineweed reaches your base. Otherwise it will undermine your structures and destroy them before you can argon to your weapons."

or

Tiberium crystals from CnC (http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Tiberium) would fit perfectly here.
A minable resource that can be used for just about everything.

"The crystal's growth speed and mineral content depends on variables such as soil conditions, moisture, yearly-average temperature, and local weather."

"It also had a deadly effect on the environment and all carbon-based life. Between 1995 and c.a. 2034 it covered much of the planet, transforming and adapting flora and fauna to its alien nature."

The last one I may or may not have tested out in one of the first of many unfinished projects of mine :p
(It slowed the game down to a crawl on big worlds...)
