Better control groups

Age of Empires IV IV - Discussion

Recently AoM Retold came out and it has a real good mechanic to assign newly created units to a control group when the rally point is set to a unit that already exists in a control group.

I think AoE4 would benefit greatly from a setup like, or similar that allows units to be automatically added to a control group. It would streamline the process of having reinforcements go where a player need them. While still maintaining skill to determine when to use reinforcements to defend a base for example.

Don’t you think it would be awesome to be able to assign a control group to a set of buildings, making it so that every unit coming out of these production buildings would be automatically assigned to said control group?

This would entirely remove the tedious mechanic of assigning units to CG. And if you want to defend / raid, split your army, you can just re-assign / remove these units from CG.

Incredibly low hanging fruit and life changing IMO
