What is the limit for queing up units in TA?
I do agree that SC requires you to 'click' like crazy, but that doesn't mean
that it is not a good game. I'm sure the same can be said about TA. SC has
been around since 97 and to change that interface may requires a total
re-build.

In TA, when queing up commands or units, does it spend the cash ? If so,
then one should not queue that many units but rather focus on more
buildings/expanding.

In SC, if you had queued 5 units, cancelling it would not get you back all
the cash needed to queue that unit. Is it the same for TA?

It is because SC is a 'very' old game. It was around in 97, but the
popularity of SC is still growing. That is a record not many game developer
has.
