any way i can pick which square the icon for my hero abilities appear? i have a unit in one of my maps with only 1 ability, and its a hero ability. when i put a skill point into it it appears in square (x,y) (3,1) instead of square (1,1) <--- with origin in bottom left of the square cluster.

The Command Card (the matrix of boxes on the lower-right of the screen) is organized from the upper-left to the lower-right.

So, an icon in this position:
:reallyang :yup: :yup: :yup:
:yup: :yup: :yup: :yup:
:yup: :yup: :yup: :yup:
is at (0,0).
If you want him here:
:yup: :yup: :yup: :yup:
:yup: :yup: :yup: :yup:
:reallyang :yup: :yup: :yup:
that would be (0,2).
If you set it to (1,1), it will be here:
:yup: :yup: :yup: :yup:
:yup: :reallyang :yup: :yup:
:yup: :yup: :yup: :yup:

If it shows up where you say, it ought to be set to the position (2,2).

Change that to (0,2).

On the other hand, if you have abilities assigned to (0,2) and (1,2) already, they'll bump your ability to the next available slot.

That's

X=0
Y=2

by the way. And yah, try not to have 2+ abilities using the same placement. You'll get it soon enough.

:D
