first some crack, and when the are hooked.. well, this is my friend upspring, if you want another smoke you better dont upset him...

"thousands of units per game" seems a pointless exageration. it implies that there will be 1000s of active units. This isn't always the case.

advanced interface?
i'd be surprised if i'm the only one few who'd prefer simple starcraft 1 interface to what we have in zk
the build menus at least are much less annoying than these gestures i never really want to use

Compared to other strategy not spring games; all the lua widgets

but you can have 1k and that is a technical showcase AND where else can this be done? the niche "strategy" market..

Force yourself to learn gesture-based hotkeys. I use keyboard-only mode, and 'alternate layout'. The hotkey to enter menu is 'D', and uses the surrounding keys

WER
SDF
XCV

to navigate.

It's a bit of a pain at first, like using new hotkeys always is, but the payoff is massively worth it.

I *love* the gesture menu personally, although I always invoke it through the "b" key.

I've been trying to fix up the giantbomb page but it seems to be really inappropriate. Most categories on the right have choices from a preset list of options so I could not enter any developer or publisher (not even 'None' or 'Independent'). The Platforms category has an option PC that encompasses Windows, Mac and Linux so we can't get points for saying it is a Linux game.

Only 50 words are allowed for the description which is basically useless. Other games have whole pages so maybe we should try to find our how they did that.
