    Nice match, the game really shines when both sides are aggressive and the planet was just the right size to promote conflict over territory. In too many matches the map is just way too big and people turtle up and rush for the game ending units or build up a deathball of units.

    I hate to continuously nitpick your videos, but I dislike it that you have the icons always on even when zoomed in very close. Its nice to see the actual units from time to time, especially if you're going to zoom in on the action. I know last time I suggested turning off the unit HP bars, but what I meant was having them only display on wounded units. It's really only needed for commanders though so its not a big deal. Most other units don't live long once they start getting hit anyways. Overall nice videos though!

    I actually get really frustrated when people DONT have them on. The units are incredibly hard to differetiate from each other, and having icons on allows me to tell what is going on.

    Hey masterofroflness,

    I like your PA vids, but PLEASE: slow down your speech. Especially for non - native speakers you're pretty damn hard to understand...

    Gosh feedback Im so confused on which one to follow. I do agree the cluster **** of healthbars ruins the videos but it also allows the for myself and audience to distinguish between the various units the players are using. Same with the unit icons but im not really sure what to say im a little bit undecided which method to utilize

    Well in the default mode, hp bars only display when units are wounded, and icons only display when zoomed out a certain distance. That way the information pops up when you need it, and goes away when you don't. That's mostly what I was suggesting. I didn't even know you could toggle icons/hp bars always on until I saw this video.

    I dont mind so much about the health bars, but saying that icons only pop up when you zoom out because thats the only useful place is just wrong. Even up close its incredibly hard to differetiate units. Its the whole reason why a lot of us campaigned to get the icon always on option into the game.

    Im here to watch a game of awesome player skill, not to watch a cinematic of tanks shooting tanks.

    Edit: Are there any good players that dont play with icons always on? im actually curious to know how many dont

    Always on icons are basically mandatory to get a watchable video or a playable game at all. How can you possibly see anything without icons? A unit without icon is near invisible to me :eek:

    TBH I usually play zoomed out far enough that the icons always appear regardless. If I'm zoomed in so far that icons go away then I can't see enough of the battlefield to do anything useful anyways. The only times I zoom in is if things are cluttered and I'm trying to pick out a single unit or if I just want to see the action for a bit.

    I'm usually zoomed out when placing buildings, usually their exact position doesn't matter and if you're throwing down dozens of them it helps to see a larger area. I suppose I zoom in when microing my commander sometimes, but I can easily tell the units apart when that close...
