I would like them to implement that, I would also like to select only the enemy army in battle. I got the idea from the program called autocad, there selecting from left to right works differently than selecting from right to left; so, I want to select the enemy army with a box from right to left (to count the enemy) and that this option be activated in case someone does not use it
