 A normal '''right click''' will give a move order. But '''Right-Clicking''' and '''dragging''' will give a line-move order which positions your units along a line. This is a much more powerful way of giving move orders and quickly deploying formations. Units cannot fire through each other and AoE weapons are common so using line-move is required.

 Shift queuing units and structures does not reserve the resources as it does in Starcraft. Queues have no downsides. There are many [[Buildings#Building_placement_and_construction|advanced queueing options]] to simplify the creation of queues.
