What is the small number, that sometimes appears in the bottom right of a unit?

Hello everyone,

sorry for that stupid question… I have the game completed to over 50%, but still have not figured out, what this small number means. Can someone explain me, what that means?

Thanks in advance!

It looks like a control group number.

You can assign/add units to a control group using CTRL/SHIFT (the first one assigns, the second one adds) + the number of the group (1 to 9).
So when you press 1, the game selects all the units in the group 1.
That number indicates the group number that those units are assigned to.

Thanks for your answers! I cannot believe I did not saw, that these numbers were related to the control groups, now it seems so obvious to me.

Thanks again for your help!
