Warzone 2100 Forums

Hello,
it took me a while to get to know the game and learn it. I have found the manual here:
viewtopic.php?t=619

It helped me a lot, but now I have a question beyond this scope that is not covered in the manual.

I am at the Beta Missions and I checked ahead at the end of it. In the last mission you need to evacuate your Basis because a Nuclear Strike is on its way. There are only 3 Transporter you can take and you need to decide which Units to take. Of course I want all high-ranking Units. When they come back from mission they are all muddled together.
With CTRL+Z you can select all unit of this type
With CTRL+W you can select all wheeled vehicles
and so on

Here is the Question:
Is there a way you can select the Units by Rank? E.g.
Select all Veteran and go on one side.
Select all Elite and go on another side and so on.

Such a feature would be very helpful for choosing which Units go on the Transport.

Thank you.

Another Question I have is about the Commanders.

"Detaching Units From Commanders
Attached units remain close to the commander. To detach a unit,
select the unit while holding the Ctrl key and give the unit a new
order."
This is in the manual. However is there way to detach or reset all Units from one Commander at once?

Thank you.

commanders, every time play campaign I not use any commanders, sometimes i use sensor.

If you click the Commander and send him to recycling all attached units are instantly unattached. You just take care that the Commander is not too near at a Repair Facility or a factory so that you can stop him before getting recycled.

In campaign it's highly recommended to use commanders. Every attached unit gets the experience bonuses of the commander.

2 years earlier I used commanders, why I not use commander again? because in gamma campaign it's very hard to use any commanders, the enemy forces attack with missile. I almost not use commader in all campaign in last previous month. now I use commander again in alpha and beta campaign .

Whatever weapons you use, put it on Tiger Body, Hover propulsion. Fast and strong. And always be in motion.

That's a very useful trick, I tried it. It works!
Thank you Alfred.

That's interesting. And I noticed that the Commander gain experience quite quickly. Once they are Special you can recycle them to a fighting Unit and you get a Hero.
