What do you think about dual monitor support where the second monitor will always show the tactical map?

That'd be cool, but I don't like the idea of giving dual monitor players a tactical advantage for having a better set up.

Yeah, this is definitely an important consideration.

I feel like the Tactical map is underused by many players being that the hot key is numberpad 0 and this is so far away from where your hand is when using grid keys. Having dual monitor support would increase the use of this important feature.

TBH this was an issue for me as well until I started using auto hot key, and even then I find it easier to use the mini map. I have my tac map set to my middle mouse button, and I still don't use it as much as some. I like having the option though, as it does have its uses.

That being said this issue could also be solved by allowing players to set their own hotkeys. WHAAAA!? Custom hotkeys in an RTS!? What a novel idea!

I would immediately change the idle infantry and idle vehicle button to something other than the horrible combination of alt+, it currently is.

you can do it (sort of)
Record the minimap and place it bigger (fullscreen) in another monitor
