Hm... so I'm the only one with OP hotkey setup for brits?

8 = F1   9= F2

Cows = F1  Sheeps = F2

Pens for Cows = F1  Pens for sheeps = F2

You still have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 for buildings and culvs and 8(F1),9(F2)  for cows and sheeps.

Get razr gaming mouse some of those come with 10 buttons on the side you can use them for hotkeys xD. This way you are only using your mouse during the fight.

If you assign two pens to control group 1, change the control group 1 selection hotkey to "C" and also change multiple cows to "C," you can just hit "CC" to make ten cows.

Make sure that you have the option to center on a selected group off so your view won't go back to the pens every time you do this.

I have two side buttons on my mouse that I can program to "C" and "S" to make cows and sheep but I don't do this as it's a hassle to reprogram them every time I exit the game. I suppose I could write a script to do this automatically each time I ran the game but I'm too lazy.

However when you play other civs this will get annoying to change :p

or u could change ctrl group 9 or something that isnt used often to C so that u can just do that. metis that was actually really helpful   thanks

I've put my select for ctrl groups 9 8 7 6 5 as f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 so they are closer to the shift button, which means i can make units from buildings more easily. 

Thats only for people with small hands men !! (and you know what they say about people with small hands

If you have troubles reaching control 5-9 you can also try hitting the control button with your thumb (thats what I do and its pretty easy :D)
