Stuff that's being showcased

Alliance game type


Area commands, build energy & metal, reclaim, repair



Click and drag wall building


Notifications – clicking on the notification takes you to the event




Looks like some sort of new unit. Looked like a two wheeled vehicle with a gun.

hmm, watching

HI GARAT

Ooh. They're testing Alliances.

Those area Commands are gorgeous.

And the "bot factory ready" notification is awesome.

Click and drag walls!

That looks awesome, is that similar to how you envision formations will work? (Draw the formation directly to the map?)

So many great features. I cant wait for that build.

How is alliance mode coming along? is it likely to be enabled in the next update or is that to optimistic?

Also, i hope that alliance mode isn't just a multiplayer mode with a minimum of two players, as sometimes i like to relax and just play against some a.i, and alliance mode would be perfect for this.

Damn you twitch not working on iOS. Stupid lack of java...
Judging by Brian's pictures this looks very nice indeed though.

Edit: Lol Twitch doesn't work on Chrome properly for me.

Actually, I was able to watch this stream on both Safari (OS X Mac) and Mobile Safari (iOS iPad). Seems that twitch's streamed content plays just fine in real time, but the recorded videos (or some subset of them at least) don't play without flash on the desktop, and are unsearchable/linkable inside the twitch app for iOS.

Is that... update by Monday I hear?!!?!?


I am joking. You guys were talking about deadlines.

Installed a Windows Phone app just to catch the end of the stream.

This is awesome, showing a test game with new features. Thank you heaps!

I missed it

Maybe it's different for iPad. I'm on an iPod with latest OS and I will get the same old 'need java' message.
Do iPads have Java?

It's ok. It's still available.

And if you can't watch it... I can "record" it and email you the file.

Can't wait for all the stuff to be added.

I have no idea of Apple stuff but Java? Are you sure you are not talking about Flash? Java has nothing to do with this. Java is completely unrelated to twitch streams. I guess they might use javascript (which is != java), but any website uses javascript. Not supporting javascript would be suicide in the web2.0
