I actually wrote an email to handmark from my Clié T625c (european T615c) after playing the game, and after reading this forum I can see that my comments weren't new. Of course the more people comment about the game, the better it will get, so it wasn't useless at all.
But just as reference, this is the email I wrote:

Subject: Multiplayer Warfare & More

Hello there,
I just finished, for the 4th time, the Warfare Inc. Demo, and I must say I am extremely eager to buy the complete version. However, I did have a few concerns about functions that do not seem to be in the game.
First off, of course, is a multiplayer option. This is now a given for any respectable RTS game, and WFI should be no different. I'm guessing that it would not be terribly hard to have the game communicate intermittently through the IR port, but I am no programmer so I cannot be sure.
Then, there are the basic elements of RTS games, such as number grouping, formations, AI attitudes (defend, attack, patrol), and the all important Rally Point!
A simple icon or popup menu would suffice for most of these functions (or a "hold" menu like the Dominion).
And of course, for replayabilitie's sake, give the ability to create custom maps, script them for events, so that players could create their own single-player campains and/or multiplayer maps! Seriousely, experienced players will go through the game in a few hours, and then complain and write bad reviews!
But anyways, thanks for your great work up to here, I still look forward to play the complete game!
Cheers,
Eric-S Lachance,
