One way to solve the problem: Hide all stored templates if there is no HQ.

The above patch changes HQ in the following ways: Adds +50% more sensor range. Make you start with HQ always in skirmish. Removes minimap requirement on HQ. Removes design limitation on HQ. This is my preferred way to handle the issue for now. Once I fix some bugs and limitations, I intend to make scripts able to handle the state of the buttons and the minimap in a better way, so that campaign will be more like before, and people can experiment with other ways of doing it in mods.

Hmm, so HQ is merely a sensor now? That is, another useless structure, like Command Relay Center? Also, it heavily affects early strategies; the moment you build your HQ is usually very essential.
