There are 4 selection ranks 0,1,2,3.
0 is for buildings 3 is for fighting units.
When doing a box drag over units with different selection ranks, only the units with the highest rank will be selected.
You can see a units selection rank as a large grey number on the side of the command menu, generally fighters are 3, builders are 2, buildings are 1.
