Will there be the ability to group troops under a key assisgnment?

Hi.

I guess I have been playing too many RTS games that allow you to group troops under a predefined key.

For those who don't understand what I mean, in other RTS games you are able to select men, vehicles, and the like, and by pressing say CTRL+1 you are assigning these troops under a group key which allows you too later quickly call up this group of troops say by pressing the number 1 or SHIFT+1 instead of having to reselect the same group of troops, and giving them orders. Also, once you do select the group key, it would immediately place those troops under the Take Command (TC) order.

If this is in the new patch then ignore the question, if not could you in some future version consider on installing this feature?

Just a thought...

Yes this will be in the feature patch. It's an awesome feature and it's one that I really wanted to see as well. You can assign any commander or unit to keys 1-9.

Yes it made my day as well when Norb was able to put it in.. The guy does some amazing things with the code.

And I corrected my last post. I should have said "assign" any commander or unit to a key. Not group.

Hi Little Powell.

Okay, just as good I suppose.

Oh, one more thing since you are reading this, have you folks decided on having player names hover over the heads of their commanders in MP games?

Cheers, and take it easy!
