    50+ is decent, 100+ is big. Difference is in a good match you should have multiple of those in different locations.

    Wait so then that means you agree macro is not only economic management but is also the grand strategy of moving a group of units without getting up close and personal with said units rather just a broad move or attack command and letting them go?

    Is that screen from the video? That was an old version of the game.

    That was the ui back in beta, it was changed at some point because it became impractical when enough units/buildings wwere being shown in the build bar.:p

    Yes, I don't agree with that, because it adds a layer of relativity. That destroys the definition of each word. But I know that if you search the definition that will appear as correct.

    that sucks. I actually prefered the old UI then. It would help setting up my hotkeys, guess ill have to switch a and s for buildings D:

    Wait I don't understand what you mean, you said yes and then followed with "I don't agree." XD

    It's probably simple to make a ui mod for it if you really wanted it. In fact maybe ask someone for the old ui files?

    Making them work together with the new game would definitely require additional coding.

    Take down the yes. xD sry, my mistake.

    I know that thats correct , but I dont agree with it being the definition, that definition turns into something that doesnt define the word because it turns the word into a relative term. So if it doesnt define the word, why would you accept that as a definition of given word?

    Just so you know quoting chains alerts, both of us are alerted if we're in a sub quote. :)

    @cola_colin Do you have any tips for hotkeys? Im really struggling with this. There are hotkeys that Im used to, A to attack, S to Stop, etc. So the build hotkeys dont have enough space.

    Other thing, is there any mod to show my control groups?

    A question, if you do halleys in 1v1 matches, who wins? o.o

    I use the exact settings you get as community default for non-wasd, as I made them.
    So I have A as attack, but use esc to stop, s is a mex.

    Use the scroll button to move the screen, then either use default or customize it to your liking.

    WASD/arrow keys are a no go if you really want to uuse every key.

    Edit: Plus the MMB feels the best. :3
