first spam

ADDITION:
I'll dl tonight, play tomorrow. From first impressions, seems entertaining but gameplay takes quite a while to understand.

Just checked it out. Erm...with less units per reinforcements this games gets even more intense, though I only did it in single player. Warning: Heart Alert!

Only half joking, though...GREAT MAP!

Now you die.

I found a 'Protoss Stargate' in it.. I think it's supposed to be called something else.

ADDITION:
Uhhh... I also found that if you have your General in a shuttle then go to armory it makes a ton of civilians at armory...

So impressive, can't wait for the full version, everyone else keep finding those bugs for him, I've not messed around enough to find loads yet.

Hey Psi, could you tell us WHICH generals have their abilities done? It sorta helps instead of guessing!

Psi General - Mind Control: Nearby enemy units have their free will ripped from them and they are reverted to your control.

Sniper General - Sniper Rifle: You get a big sniper rifle. Uses Bullet Ammo which you must buy in the shop.

Disease General - You can inflict an epidemic of death upon groups or lines of organic units. Once one organic unit touches you, he dies from the disease, and one nearby organic unit is infected. The chain continues indefinitely.

Bombardment General - You lay mines and have a huge cannon similar to the Sniper's rifle (it has longer range and larger blast radius).

Nuke General - Build nukes in your inventory area and launch them from your General.

And that's all of them for the demo.

Just a suggestion, but you might want to include some sort of ingame tutorial, myself and a few other seners played the demo and had trouble figuring out how to do stuff.
Otherwise, great job, its a really fun map.

yea its hard to understand it whn its ur first time playing it maybe u should add some optional tuturial that ppl can choose to read before game starts

I've made plans to add a tutorial into the map, but I'm saving it for last so that I won't accidentally reach a map data limit before the game itself is completed. Also, a variety of "quick tips" have already been included, that give you hints and gameplay information throughout the game; when I make the tutorial portion of the map, I will include a beacon that you can toggle these "tool tips" on and off with as well. In addition, a readme and an online gameplay guide will be provided when the map is done. That should be more than enough to educate anyone who wants to play Generals intuitively.

alright thats sounds good, ya tutorials arent as important, finishing the game is more important...

i just saw the screenshot is like OMG, nice map

Sounds cool, i think i'll play it in a few minutes , i like how you have the ranks it looks like its going to turn out to be a good map. Well good luck cant wait for .8

Found another bug, u can only buy medkit once


NICE MAP CANT WAIT TILL FULL VERS

ADDITION:
Found another bug. When you die as dt, medic, zealot, dragoon, reaver, or templar general, you either are defeated or dont respawn

Bard, I think something odd must have happened in your game, I played it and my reavor general died, I then just got the respawn options, I didn't die or anything. Maybe this is an error that only occurs sometimes?
