'we decided to allow players to select only four units at a time based on the idea that users would be required to pay attention to their tactical deployments rather than simply gathering a mob and sending them into the fray all at once.'
Damnation! Sometimes I would just build huge mobs for the fun of it, but trying to get them to attack at the same time was a pain.
Great game though, artistically I enjoyed it more than Warcraft II.
