I've submitted the 0.7 demo for approval, but since I did that I've added some more features... so once it's posted in the database im actually going to replace it immediately. (Various bug fixes + rank 7 drop zone relocation for all players).
On another note, it's been observed that it's almost impossible to make this game run lag-free, that is, if you are using "Fastest" mode. We tested the map in "Fast" mode and it ran about the same speed as it does for 1 player, but for a full house. Sorry that this map cannot be run in full speed, but I suppose that is the price we must pay for large StarCraft maps. Don't fret too much though, it's still fairly fast in "Fast" mode, as the name implies

Hey Psi, does Faster work as well? Or is it only Fast...
We need all the extra speed we can get so the bombardment general can do something!

Hey PSI, could you tell us WHICH of the Generals are currently operational instead of giving which abilities work? 
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Psi on 2005-08-18 at 18:48:00
I will repost that here so more people can see.
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.

I've noted this bug... it seems to repeat the death function, sometimes ending the game. I am working on it and will re-release the demo so that everyone can enjoy a full game while I work on version 1.0. Just give me a few days.

I also noticed a bug. player 1 on the second team gets stuck in the shop, even when you make the civ exit and it goes away the general is still stuck, if this has something to do with the general unit, the general was disease general.

It was okay for me.
