This update comes with what I think and hope addresses some issues with learning to play:

• more "customizable" research, ie. you can choose whether to research infantry, vehicles, or weapons rather than having to get a certain one first
  
• strategy center: divulges a slight tech tree to give players an idea of what each research category entails
  
• updated help file to accommodate the new method of researching
  

Also, if not noted before...

• you're no longer "thrown" into the game, you can wait a bit at the title screen until you're read
  
• separate window for more "important" messages
  
• tips command to get random, useful tips
  

More features are planned as always, but are still in the conceptual phase. :)
