    Just a thought for release..... it'd be cool to just open the sandbox and practice strategies and flanking maneuvers. Being able to actually control your opponent and send waves of units at your own at desired direction formation, etc. So you could create and perfect your techniques. Yes you can play the ai always but the sandbox would be great for instantly setting up certain situations and figuring the best way to get your *** out of the fire. Yes I broke the rules and didn't search, so if this is a repeat please remove.....

    Thoughts......

    If you set the AI's economy to -1, it can't build anything.

    Pretty good sandbox mode for now.

    Being able to control my opponent would be a handy addition for making tutorial videos. For my next video I'm gonna have to have someone else help me and set up certain scenarios for cinematic effect.

    There has been Sandbox Modes in the past, combine that with Cheating Options and you could basically do whatever you want. I'd be surprised it it didn't happen at some point.

    Yes but direct enemy control would make it all the sweeter!!!! So you could set up say 100 ants vs 100 dox, and the determine the best way to defeat or simply run away, things of that nature.......
    I'd be willing to help going to grab a decent pc Mic this weekend, can't get the phone app to work, which is why I haven't hit the irc yet....
