Two questions about troops

Post by 100thMonkey »

1. Is it possible to multi-select troops? For instance, to ungarrison multiple troops so they can be loaded in transports for an emergency invasion... I have a feeling that there isn't, but God I hope I'm wrong...

2. Is there a way to see, at a glance (without having to use trigonometry) the offensive strength of troops based at a colony? If I click on troops in the selection panel while a colony is selected, a panel opens on the right, and the "Defend Strength" is shown. But I don't see the attack value of the troops based there (and there are qui a few armor troops).

1. Yes but only from the troops tab of the military panel on that interface.

As mentioned above. From planet view double click a troop. This will take you to the military tab. Sort by location. Click on a troop - it isn't very obvious they're selected but if you scroll to another troop and SHIFT left click you'll select all the troops in between. Can then garrison, delete etc to heart's content.
