I first played a spawned copy of War2, then C&C, so I never really cemented whether basic movement should be left or right click. I have it fairly compartmentalized at this point. Blizzard games are right click, C&C games are left click. And hell, in Starcraft a lot of the time you're still left clicking, as you preface a lot of your troop movement with A.

I played alot of Red Alert through highschool and college so when I tried to play WC2 with friends I had to hardwire a mouse to be left click. So yeah, alittle ingrained and alot crazy. I still cant play Starcraft because of it. I just dont see why developers dont have the option to remap buttons, completely inexcusable for PC games.

And what about Age of Empires/Mythology ? It's the same as with Warcraft 2...And recently I have been playing Red Alert and AoM at the same time with no problems...

I never really got into the Age games until Rise of Nations. And while I appreciate them as good games, especially the second one, I have always been rubbish at them. As I said before, more of a C&C and TA guy.

I know many people can swap control schemes on the fly, but I cannot. I guess that part of my brain is just missing.

Sorry, now I am getting us really off topic.
