QoL: select only injured units

[Safe-Keeper]

Could you add a hotkey that deselected all but my units with, say, 50% or 33% hit points? Would be super useful for when I wanted to have my wounded units retreat to monks, while my healthy units were sent on new raids or attacks.

That one would be great! Retreat and Garrison is a function I've always wanted.

That would be a neat hotkey to have.

Best suggestion would be to select the group of units, then hold the control key, and click on the icons in the selection queue to de-select all of the healthy units, then bring the injured ones to retreat to the monks.

It'll take a few seconds, but it's better than hovering your cursor over each individual unit to select the ones you want.

You can also go to your Options, under the interface tab I think (Or graphics) and enable health bars to show "always".

I'm doing the exact opposite, select the blob of units, click to destination : monks, and during the travel de-select the wonded units. Then turn back with what i still have in hand.

Depends on the ratio wonded/full health or really healthy in your current selection.

Yeah, that's been my experience, too.

autoresolve is the word you're looking for

Some people like to focus on gameplay itself rather than getting their clicks-per-minutes optimized. Same reason as why I hit Ctrl+C instead of right-clicking and choosing "Copy". I don't like the idea of clicks for clicks' sake.

If it'd make you feel better about a hotkey like this, I'd be fine with it being disabled for MP games.

Maybe the reason why it's not a function is the same reason why a function to auto-micro monks was intentionally left out of the game because it would be too over-powered.

Idk, selecting only injured units doesn't seem like a bad idea at all, it would just make things easier to accomplish, aka QoL improvement.

Terrible anology, not surprised tho.
