Suggestion: select multiple groups by holding shift

李小狼 · |2019-12-14

　　Currently, mouse drag can be used to select a group of units and then SHIFT+mouse drag can be used to add more units to the original selection. Another existing feature is assigning units to groups. In AoE2 versions before DE I sometimes moved an army consisting of multiple groups as one army by combining these features: hold SHIFT and click 1, 2, 3, … to select multiple groups at once and then you can move them easily so that they all move at the speed of the slowest unit. However, this doesn’t work in DE. With the default hotkeys, such commands would merge groups. I then changed the hotkeys so that SHIFT+number is not binded to a command, but now the command does nothing.
　　So my suggestion is: make it possible to select multiple groups at once by holding the shift key while pressing the hotkeys for selecting groups. I think this should be default behavior without the need for a hotkey, since this is also the built-in behavior when holding shift while clicking or dragging the mouse.

　　Agreed. In HD I used to add units to different hotkeyed groups and quickly select them together for moving across the map using shift. In DE I can’t do that anymore due to this annoying merge feature, which I never use.

　　I second this. Sometimes the new way is handy, but I do miss being able to quickly select multiple armies, without having them all merge under a single hotkey.
　　For me, it is basically a muscle memory when I want to add units to a group, I select shift + group number, immediately followed by ctrl + group number. I guess that just did make more sense.
　　Would be great if we could choose between these systems
