Chat, Cheats, and Text Commands

Pressing ENTER will bring up a "say:" prompt which you can use to communicate with other players or issue "Text Commands". To send a message to all who are connected, type your message and press ENTER. To send a message only to your allies, preface your message with "a:". To send a message to any spectators, type "s:" then your message and press ENTER. To enter a Text Command, simply type the command and press ENTER.

Basic Text Commands

Command	Effect
.info	Shows you what colour each player is, its CPU usage percentage and their ping delay in the bottom right corner of the screen. This is on by default.
.clock	Shows you the elapsed game time in minutes and seconds in the bottom right corner of the screen. This is on by default.
.take	Places all allied units that are owned by players who have lost connection to the server under your control. It is generally considered polite to consult with any still-connected allies before doing this. In a Commander Dies, Game Ends game, a player only loses once they have lost all their Commanders, and this mechanism will give them a second one.
.setmaxspeed #	Changes the maximum speed multiplier (default is 3.0)
.setminspeed #	Changes the minimum speed multiplier (default is 0.3)
