Minor note on Warcraft: Units can play follow-the-leader. Isn't it annoying when you send a group off somewhere, and since they move at different rates, they all straggle in separately, and probably get slaughtered ... ? But if you tell unit A to move, and then click on unit B, unit A will follow unit B until it reaches it and B is no longer moving. What this means in terms of gameplay is that if you have a group consisting of, say, a catapult, two knights, and two archers, you can direct the whole mass to the other side of the map and have them arrive at the same time. Just direct the catapult way over there, and direct the knights and the archers to move (NOT ATTACK) on to the catapult. You can also tell your units to move onto an enemy unit, and they will follow it faithfully (or until they are next to it and it stops moving.) They will fight it when they get next to it, of course. Anyhow, I thought it was interesting to find out something new about Warcraft after having played it for a year or so ...
