Would be interesting to have additional players able to control a mercenary manually or something of that line.

Just tried it, I must say I was pleasantly surprised by how well many of the engine's and original game's features translated to an RTS scale - dynamic sound, AI cover. It played well, save for buggy pathfinding at times, sometimes unnecessary full-LOD, and if a little repetitive rush-based gameplay. I would have rather if camera rotation was somehow mapped to the mouse, perhaps you could take a look at how World in Conflict's (and Ground Control 2) especially since it had WASD for movement too. Some hotkeys for abilities or generally unit options would be welcome additions too, and would it be possible to change the "add to group" key from Ctrl to Shift, as is the convention in RTS games? Regardless of whether you choose to implement these changes, I still must commend you for a job well done, and am looking forward to future releases!
