The game works like this:
You start off with your Port (which is an air base). Your Port is like the commander, you only get 1, and if you lose it you lose the game (only 1 unit can damage the port*). It also is the spawn point for your units.
You get your main force when the reinforcement timer is full, and then it restarts. You can add to the timer charging rate when you capture the objective points (city blocks). Your forces are dropped off in waves of 8, picked randomly according to the units weight (the more powerful the unit the less likely you will receive them).
There are also supply centers (refineries) that you can capture, that don't really do much right now, but help spawn air forces faster.
To win the Game you need destroy your enemy's Port using Combat Engineer's Special Ability, the Satchel Charges. No other weapon will damage the Port.
The Main Forces:
There are 4 classes of units: Infantry, Land Vehicles, Defensive Structures, and Aircraft.
There are 5 types in each class, was originally 4 based of each unit type was to specialize countering another class (such as anti air, anti vehicle, etc..), but a 5th reconnaissance type was added to all classes.
Most of the units have special abilities as well that you can activate with their button (haven't got a hot fix key for it yet would be great though). These abilities generally change the role or increase some of its characteristics (such as firepower or range or LOS), but at a cost.
The following is the list of units, their roles, their normal abilities, and their special abilities for the 1st race (the only one currently in the game.)

Change Log
beta 03
-fix strike missiles firing short
-infantry now conform to terrain and no longer clip on slopes
-AA missiles have better accuracy
-added LCAC heavy hovercraft transport to move heavy vehicles across water
-Units can now fire out of the cities from within, and still have protection inside from outside fire
-weapon trucks can no longer capture points, now only infantry can.
-weapon trucks can deploy into defenses inside a city, and fire from with in
-Bunkers can now hold infantry for shelter
beta 02:
-Model's normals have been adjusted
-Textures converted to dds (for a possible reduction in graphics resources? o_O )
-Hot keys for special mode V to enable N to disable
-Selectable Icons for the infantry and UAV to manage easier
-Fixes to major issues in game play due to bugs
-Slight Balancing Adjustments
Credits go to:
-KDR for Cuberor LUA
-Sean Heron for LUA scripting and editing
-Smoth for CEG images and code
-CA's various ppl? PD images used for ceg and othe effects
-Bobthedinosaur for models, textures, sounds, scripting, hacking, and destroying my life
Please try it out/ tear it apart/ just give some feed back!
