  • GAME BUILD #: #185872
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 11

:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

In past versions, double-clicking a unit selects all units of the same type within the visible area.

However, this behavior appears to have changed for heroes. Different heroes can now be treated as the same unit type for double-click selection.

For example, suppose a scenario contains:

  • 60+ Robin Hood
  • 60+ William Wallace

If I double-click Robin Hood, the game may select other 59 William Wallace instead of Robin Hood. Most of Robin Hood is not selected.

This is particularly problematic in custom scenarios, where multiple copies of the same hero can legitimately exist.

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Create a scenario.

  2. Place multiple different heroes and test.

  3. Double-click one of the heroes.

  4. All the heroes will be selected.

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

Only the same heroes should be selected.

I’m adding vote this issue—please fix it: whenever you double-click a hero, any type of unit gets selected; there is no differentiation between units.
