Please post ideas here only pertaining to the game options. The title of your post should be a few words that generally describe your idea.

These are the ideas that were on the first CNC VISION site, made up of user submissions and ideas taken from the official forums, credit is given after the idea in parenthesis:

--A key that is pressed to show all health bars of all units and structures. That way it is easier to find hurt units in a group so you can finish them off.
(Eshez)

--A key to make all of your units that are in a group to attack a structure one at a time. For example, an orca flying in and attacking a structure, then the next one attacks, and so forth, all avoiding AA fire.
(Eshez)

--Retreat button:
A button for use if your forces are spread thin and the enemy mounts a large attack on your base. This button with one
click would automatically call all combat capable units to the nearest construction yard under your control thus
consolidating your forces and significantly improving your base's defensive defensive capabilities (the idea is based on
the retreat button used in Emperor: Battle for Dune, though slightly altered).
(Raven1987)

--Be able to turn on subtitles in the FMVs and for in game dialogue for those that are hard of hearing.
(Simeon)

--Be able to send resources to an ally, and possibly even units (or a unit in the game could take resources from your refinery and take them to your ally)
(jsuh0107)

--Replays! Option to turn on the chat log from the replay, fast forward, bookmark certain parts of the battle....be able to click on a player to see what they could see within the fog of war, how much money they had, and what units they were making (pretty much when you click on someone it could just show what was happening on their sidebar)
(Opinion made by many forum members)

--Do not have a reveal hidden unit option like Red Alert 2 had (it was in the options menu), this defeats the purpose of snipers when you can see them and kill them right away
(jsuh0107)

--Repeat/Shuffle/Pick music tracks during the game (like the old games)
Be able to make play lists
Be able to add in your own music
(Opinion made by many forum members)

An idea emailed to me:

Squad Key Feature

By pressing a squad key all your selected units will be one squad. By combining any
numbers to the squad key combination your squad will be put as the team number you
wish. If you select one unit of it you will automatically select all the units of
the squad. If your units are a squad there should be also be also besides the single
unit healthbars a general healthbar which shows an overall health status.
By pressing the squad key again your squad will be divided into single units again.
This new function would make multiplayer battles and battles general much more
easier and faster to fight.[FONT=verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif]

Infantry are already squad based so this is pretty redundant.

Happy Birthday lady! You are a wonderful perosn and I love your post. It really got me today, my birthday is Thursday and I will be 42 and for the past week I have been evaluating my life in the same way. In what way can I be a better perosn and have I done everything I can for my children to enriche their lives. Have I taught them to have empathy and love for others. Have I taught them to care for those that are not easy to care for, I guess we will just have to wait and see. I feel like that is the only way we can progress, thinking of how we can be better, and what we can do to change and changing is hard, the older we get, but if we are willing to try we can all do better.
