I always group all my mobile artillery with [Ctrl]+[Number]. To unassign, just press [Number] and move the whole group elsewhere.

Are you sure?
Scavangers never did anything big so you may have not noticed...

i notice from the challenge mission 1 as you walk over central area you get slapped once at best by a few units, then they do virtually nothing unless you you practicly stand in their base.
they need toughening up, and a bit more expantionist too.

They are not an supposed to expand or be tough. They are there to be run over. However, I suggest you try a map where they are more properly set up, like Rush (especially in no base starts - they will have lots of units).

Hi!
Just wanted to let you know that Beta 10 runs smoothly on an 9-inch EeePC (1024x600) with Ubuntu.
Great work!
Thanks to you all!

Or you can just have the Ctrl key down while selecting the group and then click somewhere.

@Buginator: Something like your patch would be nice... When the game is paused I think <1 FPS would be sufficient for taking screenshots or the like.

That would, unfortunately, screw up the hover effects on the menu buttons.

- when the game is paused, it would still consume lots (near 100%) cpu power during massive battles on maps like ntw2, ultimate power, domination, etc.
- not sure how this happended, but after leaving and re-entering fullscreen, WZ didnt respont do mouse movement any more. Anyone else seen this?
- there are no cyborg grenadiers, even at full research?
I think the path finding thread is to blame for this, it never sleeps

yes, try a game with lots of units and pause it, and my monitor shows 100% CPU usage for the spawned thread.
gotWork is never set to 0 when paused.
