This new way to queue building orders will be immensely beneficial to Protoss as they can now build 20+ buildings in under 30 seconds just by holding down shift. I speak from experience that building 15 gateways now can take merely tens of seconds now as opposed to SC:BW where you had to wait until the building was down and warping, then you could build another building. | ||

God, what a noob, you didn't know? O..... nm. So when you build things, and units are in the way, do they move out? | ||

Was a while since i played, but they probably didnt then. Well in wc3 you can place buildings right on top of your own units at any time and units will move away, and when you shift out the buildings the same thing happens when the worker goes to try to build there. Ofcourse just your own units moves, not your allies or enemies. | ||

Building exactly one supply depot at the same time all the time doesnt have to be the optimal thing to do. In the early game you will want to wait between building the supplys and in the end maybe build many at the same time. And what if you queue up 3 supplys and when the 2nd is about to start building you build marines for all your minerals and its cancled and you dont notice? I think it might be easier for noobs who want to build 9 depots at the same time and get 50/100 supply and not care about it for some time... But for good players... I dont think it will change much. You will still have to keep track of what the worker is doing all the time. | ||

A person who just clicks out 10 supply depots will get owned hard since he have no mins to build units for. This helps noobs who stack resources, but for pros who use it costantly its useless. | ||

Good in that case my point is even stronger  I wasnt sure if the resources were payed when you queued or when you started building. Buildingqueues are different in different game :s Are you sure its implemented this way? I hope it is. | ||

I hope it is.In wc3 it is, and changing it would be like changing unit build ques to take resources when they start building instead of when you click it. There is one difference though compared to units, you can que up additional buildings without the money, and in that case he will try to use the money you have when he gets to the buildsite, if you dont have money he cancels the build and goes to the next one and thus killing the buildque. BUT if you do have the money it will be payed instantly. Pros wont use it since its way to unpredictable when your hovering around 0 mins, and if you had 100 mins at one time during queing you just locked those mins for a minute. | ||

it has its drawbacks though, because if you run out of money midway through your queue, then it'll stop the whole thing, and you just wasted a bunch of clicks. also, not terribly useful at the higher levels the same reason queuing up units isn't | ||

It's a good change, and the above posters kinda explained it, nothing is needed to be added. For good players it won't make much of a difference. | ||
