China - Producing Siege units with all selected Siege Workshops

Age of Empires IV IV - Discussion

Hi!

I noticed something a bit odd when producing siege units in AoE 4. If you queue siege units while having all Siege Workshops and the Clockwork Tower selected (using the “Select all Siege Workshops” hotkey), only Clockwork Tower siege units are produced. If you want to produce siege units from all buildings, you first have to queue in the Clockwork Tower, then tab to the other Siege Workshops and queue again. Even then, the queue isn’t balanced between the buildings.

Wouldn’t it be better if, when selecting all Siege Workshops and the Clockwork Tower, the game would produce units from all of them? And if you only want the stronger Clockwork Tower siege units, you could just select the Clockwork Tower alone for production.

What do you think?

That’s because the clocktower “unique” siege units take over the normal ones in UI when you select both the clocktower and normal siege workshops, kinda like if you select let’s say both barrack and stabble the game will only display the spearman, the knight and the scout in the recruitement pool, the man at arm slot being taken by the knight.
