    They will release the whole game with minor changes as they did before in 4-6 years and they will take 20-25 for it. They will also release some DLC and it will be too expensive for the little features. I had to lower the graphic to get it run fluently. Played an online match and got kicked after 30mins - no way to recreate it because we did not save. I hate my friends for forcing me to buy every new version of this game and i hate microsoft for this and other reasons too.

    @@ripperfisher182250 and @Talu, both of you are right. as for autosave I think when you click "quit to menu" or even "begin test" (dunno what's that button called in editor), before it exits it triggers a function that saves the progress to your custom map/scenario. However, that is easy only because function for saving everything is already in place. There is a reason why many rts don't have complex map editors like aoe, and that's because it needs a ton of information to store. map geometry, texture and info (ie is tile walkable)for every tile, object for every tile, spawn points, scripted thingies...

    Two things I would like, an option for Grid Hotkeys, so all hotkeys are mapped based on there position in the task bar realities to the keyboards layout. So the top corner is always [Q] if you're using a the standard Qwerty keyboard. This would also double in allow us to always know what the basic hotkeys are for scenarios that have custom units/abilities as it's based off of geography and not some random letter. The Second would be the ability to enter specific map seeds into the skirmish/multiplayer map lobbies. Yes you can go to the scenario editor, enter in the seed and save the map, but that's a little tedious and no one does it. It would also be nice if at the end of a match they could display the map seed and maybe add a small button that you could click that would copy it onto your clip board so that you could easily paste it down.

    There are a few default hotkey options to start from, one of them is grid-based I think. I also use a mostly grid-based hotkey set. The only problem I see is with the dock, since it has two pages, so two options per key.

    What i do is have some random building or wall (litterately whatever u have built) and I assign a hotkey for that building just to have a faster way of locking the screen to North or south - opposite directions. I sometimes hunt deer and hotkey the mill if it is my northernmost building. For example :)
