The game looks like it has a bunch of polish, and looks like it got the basics down.  HOWEVER, I have some questions about the interface.  As of now, the Interfacre to me looks incomplete, so I would like to see if I can get input from others on whether this is in here or not.  The questions:

1. How do you set waypoints for units you command?  I would like to be able to have units follow pathing the way I desire, not just go as they choose.   I may also want to set up patrols for units in the game to follow.

2. Is there a way to point on the minimap and give units orders there?

3. Is there a way to group units of different types into squads and cycle through them?  I see you can cycle through unit types, but not squads.

 

Can anyone answer here?  If I don't see at least waypoints, I will have to conclude that Halo Wars is merely a lightweight RTS with action elements, and a LOT of polish.  It is a good starting point, but will fail to allow RTS as a genre to cross over onto consoles.  Without at least waypoints, I can't see a PC RTS fan bothering with this.  Still, LOTS of polish though.
