Guest dr_death Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 you might already know this but if you dont it makes the game more fun! if you highlight a unit/units and hold down ctl and then press a number, a little number will apear next to that unit (for example 1) so when you press one on the keyboard that unit will be selected. It is the same thing in ra2 basically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dvlos Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 This isn't a trick. Its called hotkey. A nice RTS feature first introduced by StarCraft or C&C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagobahn Eagle Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 It's in 99% per cent of all strategy games such as Ground Control, Red Alert, Force Commander, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lets you respond to threats quickly and efficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenthunter Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 The wierd thing is, you can't group units like you could in AOE, then you could just click on an unit and you automaticly select the whole group... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jediaoe Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 i don't think it was in aok, or was it. Maybe thats why people could beat me in huge groups:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dr_death Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 i thought ssome of you might know about it but it is still a neat trick no matter how many games have it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 Did you also know that double clicking on the group number takes you directly to the group? This saves alot of time, and you can respond quickly to an attack even while doing something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
