- Boost Construction, Boost Production and Boost Fire Rate is now displayed below the unit health bars when activated
- The AI will now decide whether to construct a Heavy Factory or a Landing Pad based on the current situation

- Fixed a bug which caused Railguns to not cause splash damage when equipped to Light Tanks or Scouts
- Improved visual quality of the Fighter, Bomber and Heavy Fighter units to make it easier to identify which team they belong to

Hurray, the demo! Downloading now and eager to play :) Now I should be better able to make a decision about purchasing this game, thanks!
The demo I just downloaded from the link doesn't seem to work, at least not for me. I get a "stopped working" message as soon as I double-click the executable. I just noticed, however, that there is also a demo on Steam, so I will try that one (assuming it's the same demo).
Same here.
You are right, I just noticed that that's also the Steam demo that got uploaded to that link. However, installing the demo from Steam gets you the same demo, so I suggest doing that.
