so i'm also guessing that this box/rectangle is always oriented with verital and horizontal lines. so that if you have two vultures vertically, it will be a very skinny rectangle, but say one is at the top left and bottom right (at 45 degrees) then the box will expand to a square that still has vertical and horizontal walls.

(much similar to drag-selecting multiple units with your mouse and forming a box - only the beginning point and ending point is defined by the two vultures instead)




care to speculate how or if any of the magical box stuff programming could be improved or tweaked in SC2? cause i can't imagine anything... although there is a feeling that there can definitely be some extra improvement to this.

"Theory

There are two boxes relevant to this:
1. A box of fixed size - the magic box
2. A box or rectangle that "hugs" your units as closely as possible"

right in the beginning.
