^{DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.}
this makes really difficult to micro musketeers versus cav if you use the hotkey to select all infantery because explorer will be selected too, and unless you unselect explorer you could change kmusketeers to hand mode. Doing this takes a lot of time, making that enemy that doesnt use musketeers doesnt lose that time has an advantage

When changing stance it only changes the stance of the “active” unit type, in any combination of units, even if the different units have the same stances.

[matazombis4087]

active , what does that mean?

[SoullessHeathen]

The unit whose commands and stats you are seeing. There’s a little arrow on the side of the selection UI that you can click to see all the different unit types in the selection. On this display you can see how many of each unit you have selected, and click on which unit you want to see the commands and stats of.

it would be much easier to make that musketeers be the first unit instead of explorer (the unit that show commands), when selected on group. Just because they are more

[SoullessHeathen]

It doesn’t put the explorer (or any other unit) first as some sort of rule, it seems to be based on how you selected the units.

[matazombis4087]

so how do i make muskeeter be on top showing the command for musketeer???

Like I said, there’s a little arrow on the side of the selection UI that you can click to see all the different unit types in the selection. On this display you can see how many of each unit you have selected, and click on which unit you want to see the commands and stats of.

[matazombis4087]

as i said that is a waste of time, i want command of musketeer instead of explorer , by defauilt

[SoullessHeathen]

THERE IS NO DEFAULT. It’s based on how you draw your selection box.

i tried different drag and didnt found how

You can also use the Tab key to switch the active unit. This way you can switch much faster, it should help with getting the musks selected easier.

Hmm, I don’t know why you have this problem, but for me it works correctly. When I select both Explorer+Musketeers and press ALT+M to change all selected units to hand combat, it works and both Explorer/Musketeers are now in hand mode. I use legacy hotkey setup.

i use the other one setup
