Pretty damn fun. I'm very interested to see the rest of the upgrades and other classes. Alin were fun, but I'm all about the other two.

This demo is SOOO much better than the old one. I'm getting good framerates/graphics now, and the game itself seems to rock! I've only tried one battle so far, but there are tons of build options/tactics/strategies, the interface is great, and the units seem interesting!

This will probably be the RTS of the year!

If you get a corruption error during install you'll need to use a PAR recovery file. Info here - http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/703/703835p1.html

This demo is deserving of greater mention on the shack. Maybe it's own headline?

Lots of fun is to be had.

You can also play multiplayer with the updated demo by adding mpdemo=1 to your personal.ini file. You can then use a program like hamachi and play it over the net.
