    Subject: Troop control management

    Is there a way to make a group of units fire at different targets but kill them? An example, I have 25 musketeers; I assign them a control group; I see 25 enemy musketeers. If I was to order the entire squad to shot at one specific unit it would be a waste of time because 5 musketeers firing at the same time can kill an enemy one leaving the rest free. So is there an easy way of making part of a group shoot enough to kill one soldier whilst allowing another to do that at exactly the same time? E.g. say 5 musketeers in a volley can kill one enemy musketeer and I have 25 I could optimally kill 5 enemies in one entire volley.

     Thanks.

    You should dragmicro.. Drag a box selecting like 5 musks and right click their target. Do this with all your musks and you'll be able to effectively kill many enemies, especially on the lower PR levels.

    a fast way to do this is the ALT key

    hold it and right click an enemy unit and your units will all target the nearest enemy unit. then after you did that you can drag micro like the above poster said.

    I think default for that (atk move) is like X or Z, not alt.


    Think Vista's Aero is nice? So you haven't seem Linux's Compiz yet.

    for me it says attack move is z, but ive tried it before and much to my dismay, my units did a lot more moving then attackingSad which lost me the game as i didnt see half of my army walking through the enemy army

    alt works though!!
