They are: The Strategic Map Unit Management Research Area Management "Overall" Map options Battle Hierarchy Unit Purchase Complex Information Game Statistics Basically when you take over new territories you are given an amount of money from that territory. This money can be allocated towards either purchasing new units -Done in the Unit Purchase screen- or Researching new weapons - Done in the Research screen-. KNOWN PROBLEMS -------------- The following problems with the demo, all of which will be fixed in the full version of the game: - It incorrectly displays in 800x600 on the Matrox Millenium (PCi), Matrox Millenium2 (PCi), Matrox Millenium 2 (AGP), Number nine Motion 771 (S3 928), Number nine Revoultion 3D (AGP), Number nine 928 GXE (PCi). you should use 640x480 and 1024x768 for the demo At the time of going to press the Creative Graphics Blaster Exxtreme does not work with the game correctly. If you use the latest drivers and the special edition version of SCitech Display Doctor from www.creativelabs.com it lets you play the game in 640x480 mode only with some screen corruption. On some ESS audiodrive soundcards (i.e. ESS1788) you will have to manually choose an ESS card as it will autodetect a SoundBlaster 16. On the diamond Monster Sound PCi and the turle Beach Daytona PCi the game will have to be configured for sound in Win95/98 as these soundcards do not support dos.
