Ever play Galactic Civilizations 2?
For a very very short time, was not really fun to me.
It had 2 production queues, but if you had both of them running you'd only get half production in each queue.
Hm, that's an ok system, but hardly worth it (Seasoned Starcraft players always thinks about what is worth what
)
Also sounds a little like a UI/managment upgrade, you would need the UI to reflect this though.
I am always in for UI upgrades
as long as they don't clutter stuff up ofcourse.
