Quote from SkeletonxfEven though ctrls do work for me so I don't need that feature in Order play, I think it would still be a good implementation, right now Elementals have no easy way to select all their miners because there's no hot key for it, and sometimes I want to select all my fire + all my water so I can control the scorch ability better, but right now I'm stuck with just moving them into space to select them - which doesn't work very well during a fight if I don't prepare it before.
hold shift+
crtl+Num and it will select what you want, and the last one you select will have it's abilities displayed. Ex. press shift+crtl+6 -then Shift+crtl+3 for Spears and Archers, fire arrows will be Q instead of shield wall. Or vice versa, select Archers first then Spears for the wall
