Issue:

After playing Japanese for a few games, one thing which stood out to me is how uncomfortable it is to use Mikos for anything except staying at the shrine. After thinking about it, one of the reasons it feels like that to me seems to be a bug - hero-selection hotkeys (“select hero”, “select all heroes”) don’t work on them at all, not even on the ones not currently at the shrine. I would expect the behavior of the “select all heroes” and “select hero” hotkeys to be consistent with how it treats pharaoh - if he’s busy empowering something, he doesn’t get selected, if he’s idling somewhere, he does get selected.

Technically there is a workaround in the form of “select healer”, “select all healers” hotkeys, but they can be annoying to use as well, as they do select Mikos occupied by the shrines, as well.

I think there should be a comfortable way to select Mikos that are only idling, and “select all heroes” seems like a perfect candidate for this.

Trigger Event:

Playing Japan and trying to control Mikos with hotkeys.

Repro Steps:

  1. Try to use “select all heroes” or “select hero” hotkeys to control Mikos
  2. Realize it didn’t work and Mikos are out of position and about to die against an enemy
  3. Be sad

Yes, they should have a hotkey or get included in the existing hero hotkeys. If they aren’t working on a shrine there is no way to find them with hotkeys.
