Does anyone know how "deep" you can que your work orders?
Like select your villies, build a dropsite, shift right click a gold mine, build another dropsite, shift right click a forest and so on to make sure they are continuously working.
How many predefined orders can you give it? Is it alot like when you do waypoints?
Please let me know from your experience.
Thank you.

Yes you can do multiple. Personally I dont get too far ahead, except for hunting or building.

Never actually counted but I think it's around 6 to 8. I have had problems around that quantity where the Ctzns simply finish the first task, then stand idle. Another related problem is when hunting and <shift> clicking a few animals, if one of the animals is "lured" away (like the Pos Lure GP), the Ctzns or villies will end up following it, perhaps all the way to your opponents TC.
FAILURE is not an option, it comes bundled with the software. The graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does it work ?" The graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How does it work ?" The graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost ?" The graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that ?"

As far as I know the amount is unlimited. I don't know how practical that is though. Also, oxcarts don't seem to like lots of orders. They don't always follow the workers to new work sites.

Ox carts clikced on gold mines keep running around the gold mine until you stop them or they eventually do. Its a little dwarf cahse the ox cart game

It's not unlimited it will eventually start cancelling out the first orders made. I'm not sure how much is the max though.

i dunno the number, but i use the shift click alot
making sure wood cutters go to closest wood allways helps.
also: say i got a group of hunters.....i'll task all hunters to shift click deer (repeat)......then when i got time to come back i will indavidual do some, this way there not waiting on the female hunter to catch up
