    Since I saw the livestream I was wondering if there could be more in-game descriptions showing an artistic representation of confused commanders and the unit itself on a small screen?

    How about we just link to the wiki page inside the game?

    What if we're disconnected from the Internet? Would the descriptions from the wiki be stored somewhere in the game?

    Either disable the extra infos button, show a message wich warns you that you need internet to view that info or just display the basic description stored localy.

    I like the idea of having in-game unit descriptions. It was very nice to have that in SupCom. It helps getting familiar with all the units in the beginning and helps not forgetting about the features a given unit has. Of course, the more you play the game the more you get familiar with all the units and the less you need information on it. But it's very handy to have detailed information in-game.

    For in depth unit details, strategies, etc, sure. But for basic unit descriptions? Those should probably be part of the local data.

    That should be ok. However i heard that there is a browser like UI ingame, so is it possible to have the wiki available ingame? Furtheremore I want to have a good detailed wiki pls, not just an wikia page, but some own stuff on uber.com.(I like the liquipedia for StarcraftII much more than the wikia page)
    ALSO pls make a strategy section for builds(voting system pls!)
