| + | When doing a box drag over units with different selection ranks, only the units with the highest rank will be selected. <br> |
| | + | You can see a units selection rank as a large grey number on the side of the command menu; generally fighters are 3, builders and factories are 2, caretakers and defence are 1. <br> |
| | + | You can change a units default selection rank in the in game settings, for example commander set to 2 will avoid accidentaly cancel building queues or killing your com by issuing commands that were meant for your army. |
| | | | |
| − | Selection rank is a unit state that determines which units are selected when dragging a selection box. Only the units with the highest rank in the selection box will be selected. This keeps buildings and construction units from being selected with combat units.
| + | You can bypass selection rank this by holding shift while dragging, you will select all units/buildings in the box. |
| | | | |
| − | To select a mixed selection of ranks, hold {{key press|Shift}} while dragging the box. Holding {{key press|Ctrl}} also selects mixed selections of ranks (except for rank zero). This is to allow selection hotkeys such as {{key combo|Ctrl|Z}} to select across ranks. Double-click selection has similar behaviour. These thresholds are configurable under 'Settings/Interface/Selection' (with Simple Settings unticked).
| + | Default selection rank are customizable trough the ingame settings. |

| + | == Hotkeys == |
| | | | |
| − | Selection ranks can be modified mid-game for individual units via a state toggle. This toggle is hidden by default. To enable it, tick it in 'Settings/Interface/Commands'. Left click advances the rank and right click decrements it.
| + | There are multiple [[Hotkeys]] to help with selection: |
| | | | |
| − | By default, most buildings have selection rank 1, factories and constructors have rank 2, and all combat units have rank 3. These defaults can be modified in the [[Ingame Menu]] under 'Settings/Unit Behaviour/Default States'. Alternately, click 'Edit Behaviour' in the unit info box that is brought up by {{key press|Space}}-clicking a unit. For example, if you don't want your anti-air units to be selected with the rest of your combat units, their selection rank could be set to 2.

| | + | *Ctrl B, Selects all idle constructors <br> |
| | + | *Ctrl C, Selects commander <br> |
| | + | *Ctrl Z, Selects all units that are the same as the one you are currently selecting <br> |

| | + | *Ctrl I, Removes non-idle units from your selection <br> |

| − | == Hotkeys ==
| + | Factory selecting hotkeys are as follow; <br> |
| | + | Your first factory will be on Alt+Q, the second factory you build will be on Alt+W and the next one on Alt+E .... and so on |

| − | There are multiple [[hotkeys]] to help with selection. The default bindings allow you to select:
| |
| − | {{:Selection hotkeys|list}}
| |
| | | | |
| − | Factories can also be selected using hotkeys. Your first factory will be on {{key combo|Alt|Q}}, the second factory you build will be on {{key combo|Alt|W}} and the next one on {{key combo|Alt|E}}, and so on. This assumes that you have the QWERTY keyboard layout.

| − | | + | You can find how to do so on the [[Hotkeys]] page. |
| − | Ever wished to have all fighters in group 7, all gunships in group 8, all raiders in 4, etc.? "Autogroup" achieves just that.

| |
| − | * If you then want to add [[Knight]]s to autogroup 1, select one of them and press {{Key combo|Alt|1}}.
| |
| − | * If you then want to remove Glaives from autogroup 1, select one and press {{Key combo|Alt|~}}.
