'Select Hero' hotkeys on Atlanteans

The Select Hero hotkeys are currently very hard to utilize for Atlanteans.
The main cause of this is that it seems to cycle through heroes in the order that they were created. In the case of Atlanteans, this includes hero citizens. For Gaia specifically, this means the first two heroes selected will always be the hero citizens given at the very start of the game. For major gods that can pick Prometheus, odds are they will also heroize a few citizens before heroizing any military units.
The situations where I want to select hero citizens generally differ greatly from the situations where I want to select hero military units, and micro’ing atlantean military heroes in tense battles feels very awkward due to this.

I’d love to see a change to how these hotkeys work for Atlanteans. A few proposed solutions:

  • Implement a toggle for this feature to either include or exclude hero economic units when ‘find hero’ hotkeys are used
  • Implement separate hotkeys for finding hero economic units
  • Keep hotkey behavior as-is, but make hero citizens extremely strong in battle, akin to greek heroes (I’m joking please don’t)
