That works when you waypoint on any unit.

[albiedamned]

Yes, you can waypoint any unit. However waypointing the general is a much better idea. If you waypoint a specific unit in a group and that unit gets killed, the waypoint is lost and the new troops wind up just standing by the production building until you notice them. That used to happen to me all the time. If you waypoint the general, then as long as the general is still alive you know your waypoint is still good.

Viandox: That is excellent, didn't know that one!

[VitalyB]

Here is one:

Pressing a unit finding key will cycle between the buildings/units that respond to that key (like N for market).

Double pressing (like double clicking) on that key would center the view upon that unit/building.

Triple pressing (fast 3 pressings) will select all the units of that type.

Hope it helps.

I see double-clicking on idle citizen

will activate all idle citizens. PLEASE tell me we can do this with military units. i remember in Cossacks game where if you click on one unit and press ctrl+Z, it would highlight and activate all units of that type only (ctrl+A would activate all units).

shift+. <= Selects all idle citizens
Double click on a unit <= Selects all units of same type on screen (please verify this, I read it s'where...)

Alt-right click on a building and your troops will set up a defensive position around your artillery.

[GodSpawn]

Wow, SirOsis, where'd you get that from? That's kewl!

[SirOsis]

Read it somewhere in the forums. There seem to be a lot of commands that are not documented.

[MxM]

I think that this thread should be put "on top". It is very useful.

[HalfLotus]

The data display on lower right can also be cycled with F12. The minimap changes to display only units of the category selected. Useful for finding stray military dudes, among other things.

[Inverse Icarus]

this thread should be dismantled and a new one created, with a neat, organized list of all the commands

I can smell a volunteer . However, knowing that I have nothing to do today...

[Mysterio]

With the Data Display (lower right corner) displaying the Ctrl Groups, select the units you want to be in a Ctrl Group, and right-click on the text in the Data Display. The units will be assigned to that Ctrl Group (just as if you'd pressed Ctrl-#). Left-click on the Ctrl Group in the Data Display to select the group, and double-click (I believe) to select and center. Very slick!
