First, something that has been annoying me. Clicking on a unit type once (usually) selects every unit of that type on screen. This is traditionally reserved for double-clicking. I'm finding myself having difficulty selecting single units and factories. I've too often canceled out the jobs of like 6-7 workers working on separate build queues because I accidentally selected them all and gave a new order too fast to even notice. I sure hope this is just because it's still early, but here's some control features I feel the game needs before release: - single click = single unit; double (or perhaps some modifier key + click) = all on-screen of that type - double click to recall control group = moves to location - option in menu for ALL recall keys (F, C, #1) to toggle camera tracking - shift + # with units selected adds units to control group, doesn't overwrite existing units - shift + click / selection box adds units to currently selected (I think this works sometimes? I forget) - shift + click already selected units REMOVES them from the selection - ctrl + click already selected units REMOVES entire unit type from the selection - option in menu to invert drag scrolling (for now, I had to invert StarCraft II's drag scrolling so the transition doesn't throw me off) - perhaps a small, optional UI readout of which control group numbers are in use If you have any more, feel free to share.
Single click does only select one unit, it's just *very* touchy at the moment. There's several open bugs regarding this, so it'll be fixed at some point.
That's good to hear, thank you. I slowed down using / checking the bug tracker because it seems like I can search for 30 minutes using every possible phrasing I can think of and not find anything. I post the bug, and seconds later it is closed for being a duplicate. Either my vocabulary sucks or I'm just bad at searching. :?
Also there should be a way to select not just exact unit types, but wider types - air, ground or naval. For instance, I have large army with multiple types of units and I want to use only air part of this army to do a quick attack, while ground forces wait or do something else. Notmally I will need to double-click every air unit type separately - T1 bombers, T2 bombers, T1 interceptors, T2 interceptors, transports... It would be nice to streamline that.
