My prescription: Fire, and lots of it!

Any Multiwinians too close to a burning tree will be set on fire.

Thats because in Darwinia all the Virus monsters were on the same team.

In the same way that humans are decended from primates, sure.
Only Green, Red, Blue and Yellow are really considered part of the story though. The other 4 colours are just there for fun.

There is some back story there, and quite a bit of it is communicated in the level descriptions. As more levels are released, this will be expanded upon a little, but we don't really go into too much detail for a couple of reasons. Here are a couple of extras for you: The Shamans that are mentioned ...

I think you are overestimating the effect of a Dark Forest. Unless you leave all your Multiwinians right in the middle of one, you really shouldn't lose that many. If its on top of one of your Spawn Points, you should only lose a couple of your troops as long as you order them straight out of the fo...

It looks like too many people have selected Purple. I suggest all of those people move to yellow, because I am changing the next release so that Purple is only available if you are using my registration key.

That's actually been fixed, I guess it just didn't make it into the final build on time. It'll be in the first patch, I would imagine.

Not a bug.

No one mentioned anything at all like this idea that I recall. If it was your intention to suggest something like that, you did a very bad job of it

No, UDP.

So, there have been quite a few repeat requests for a number of features (no prizes for guessing which), so I figure now is a good time to tell you what we are actually planning to add (though don't assume that anything not on the list won't be added, this is just currently what we have on the list)...

They are identical to Darwinia. They haven't changed at all (and I just double checked to be sure).

There shouldn't be any difference in any of the team AI (certainly not anything decided by team colour) so anything you are seeing is coincidental.

The reason there isn't an option to direclty specify which crates are and aren't present on the level is because if that was the case, everyone would simply remove all of the bad crates from the line up. You might think this is a good thing, but it really isn't; crate drops can easily alter the flow...
