    Recommended Gameplay Settings

    Of Special Note:
    • Sticky Selection OFF - important to leave off if you want to deselect units.
    • Classic Hotkeys OFF - will place all hotkey button display (bottom right) to match your WASD keyboard layout (faster access than Classic).
    • Player Color ON - can be disabled in solo, but very useful for identifying individual players during large battles.

    Of Special Note:
    • Custom Aesthetics OFF - keep this off if you don't want to be forced to install/see a bunch of ugly custom skins used by players.
    • Physics LOW - Isn't really important to enjoy the game but can drastically impair gameplay with higher unit counts.
