    yeah, but being a laptop, there's no number pad either. Hmm... Anyone else know? Or, better yet, where the option is to change the keys for those functions? I've found the key-binding page in the Options-Controls-Assing Keys page, but I didn't find any there that talked about zooming.

    laptop should usually have function keys that allow you to simulate a numeric pad.

    well, classes just started again, so I've been a bit swamped and haven't been playing too much MTW in class. Uh, I mean inbetween classes...

    I know I figured out the function keys that allow me to use some other keys as a numeric pad, I just haven't put it all together though. However, I can tell you that the game runs perfectly on this laptop. Though it can get quite tricky to quickly select and order the exact units around with this square mouse-pad thing.

    Buy a mouse and plug it into your laptop. You can pick a cheap one up for peanuts and its going to be MILES better than using a touchpad.

    Unless you're actually using your laptop on your lap, of course.

    In this case, I would reccomend Trackball. I am currently using Logitech Trackman (optical) with my laptop. Quite comfortable and doesn't need a rigid, flat surface like the regular mouse.
