IDEA: When you use the shortcut in the army, the camera is transferred to the army. You do not have to look for troops across the map.

It already works like that if you push the button two times.

true, but i do not have all my units on a hotkey so i propose the following idea:

in red alert there are keys to switch between units, for example pressing n would select and center the camera on a unit, pressing it again would select the next unit etc etc. no idea what the hotkey was for selecting the previous units though. yeah i am one of those guys who always cannot find their lone knights and stuff ^^

Maybe TAB ? To switch between units on the screen or outside the screen or both(between all units) ;D i think it gives nice micro opportunity, like ctrl+1 but slightly faster :>

I agree with you

TAB repeately can switching between all unit group (because I often forgot my unit on the edge of map

) ---- the best will be some setting on main manu options - there can be all about hotkey/control ,including mouse speed (left/right hand - mouse buttons)... the most games have this options

1) Could we perhaps add some filters to profanity in names for the Remake? It seems people like calling themselves "Bad A** Mother******", for example. I think it is common practice for most games to not allow standard profanity in names, it would be nice if the Remake did, too.

2) Shift+LMB is very nice for ordering weapons and armor to be made in 100 increments, but could we also have shift+RMB order 1,000? Obviously you wouldn't need to order a thousand of anything in a real game, but I'm so used to using RMB for ordering wares (verily, I've done it my whole life

) that I'm always pressing Shift+RMB by accident, and that can really burn you later on ;p

@Smoula: This is on our todo list, thanks.

@Ben:
1. Profanity filters are very easy to bypass, there are also other problems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
2. Ordering 10 instead of 1000 could burn you too

IDEA :
1st:
map preview, when I'm choosing map in lobby. I mean f.e. map list should be bottom the map preview or more transparent ...

2nd:
In final MP statistics will be good to see team distribution, f.e. color icon befor/after player name or simple in bracket = playername (1) .

thanks, šmoula

What does that have to do with what I said? And what of you thoughts on the matter? Yes? no? Currently, Shift+RMB does nothing so I don't see why this life-saving feature can't be added ;p

i do not see why you just cannot change habit

@Ben: Having 4 combos for ordering 1-10-100-100 items is a bit too much imho. What if we just move +100 to Shift+RMB? So to order one you LMB, to order 10 - RMB and if you are really on fire - add Shift to RMB to order +100 ?

PostPosted: **03 Sep 2014, 23:00**

I suppose that works for me, but now you're just messing up others.

I don't understand why having 4 combos is too much. It's not UI clutter. It's not taking more CPU. No harm; only gain

PostPosted: **04 Sep 2014, 05:16**

Having four combos is kind of overcomplicated. It's like a knob on a watercooler, if you press from the right it gives 100ml, from the left 10ml, if you use an index finger it's 50 and 250ml respectively. Now you want 190ml, whats your algo..

I have posted the problem here: http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/6 ... -in-a-game maybe there are some fresh ideas about it

PostPosted: **04 Sep 2014, 08:21**

A common sulution is to hold the mouse button and it changes the value faster and faster

PostPosted: **04 Sep 2014, 08:42**

That might be a common solution, but I find controls like that very frustrating to use.
