Right now, the Khamm has now way of knowing when you're getting egg-locked... short of just looking and trying to count the blasted things.

Just a little egg symbol and an "X #" floating above the hive would be great.

    One, I do not think this is a bad idea. Seems easy to add.
    Two, I don't think it is difficult to count them unless you have several hives. If you have several hives than egg locking I would think be a non issue.

    I can't believe the khamm interface is missing this. Also, what I would welcome would be some kind of a switchable tactical overlay with icons representing unit types and important buildings ala Homeworld or other games. Icons are more readable and would give clearer impression of what's going on.

    You can also open your map and have a quick glance at the number of eggs icons ( they are really easy to spot ). It works well with any number of hives, echoed eggs.

    We've ran out of eggs a few times with 3 hives. Mass crazy non-stop xeno.

    Usually if you are running low someone on your team will let you know that you are low on eggs. Also just paying attention you will see if your team is dying too much
