...Just a random comment on walls.

...I had my first oportunity to actually play a multiplayer
game today and am disapointed in walls. They are just too hard
to build... I don't mind a peon having to build them (and in
fact think it is a touch of reality), but it takes too long to
build them one block at a time having to find the peon, click
him, hit B, W, click on the spot... I know, not much more than
before, but just a nuisance enough to stop me. Being able to
"draw" a line would improve situations.

...BTW, the situation: I was building a "fake" city to distract
my oponent. I set up 2 arrow towers (whatever they are called)
and was going to build a wall to hold him back. (we were
agreeing to play w/o air units). I figgured he'd devote a
significant force to get through my walls and towers while I
was flanking... It was an amuzing idea I abandoned after seeing
how walls work now :-(
just a thought
