Hi guys, I'm a new player (Was heavily into TA and TAUCP long after the lifespan of the game... still fire it up sometimes) and I'm running into an issue with AutoGroup. I've only played a few hours so please bear with me as I'm absolutely a scrub lol.

As I understand it, you select a unit, assign them to the AutoGroup (default is Alt+number I think?) which then visibly displays that number by the unit. You can then simply press the group number and select all units in that group. To assign units to a group without auto grouping is ctrl + number I think? Anyway, when you AutoGroup a Glaive for instance, any further glaives produced should be added to the specified group automatically, unless I am understanding the tooltip in the hotkeys>autogroup section wrong?

Any help would be terrific, as a HUGE TA enthusiast I'm absolutely giddy about this game! I'm a bit surprised that I hadn't heard of it sooner.

I may have figured it out actually... They have to be idle after production, I'm not sure in my testing if I was reaching that condition or not.

You can make them added to the group immediately without having to wait to become idle:
 Settings / Interface / Control Groups / Immediate Mode 
+4 / -0
to manually do this, select a unit and press use CTRL-Z => selection is expanded to all units of the previously selected (does not work for constructors).

welcome to the game!
