It's very simple. Let's say I have Spearmen, Cavalry and Archers, then I want my groups to be as thus:
1) Spearmen
2) Cavalry
3) Archers
4) Spearmen, Cavalry
5) Spearmen, Cavalry, Archers
This way I can have my Melee bound to Group 4, and everybody to Group 5, as well as individual groups. There are countless examples like this that are impossible with the current system of one group per unit.
The Find Military hotkey is useless because it selects every military unit, including Scouts and sea units.
It can't be that difficult to implement, and it makes tactics a whole lot quicker and easier, at least for me.
The
lack of this feature is one of the main reasons I immediately hated
Dawn of War 2 (especially when compared to Dawn of War 1, which, obviously did have
this feature).

Sort of. In SC2, there's no hotkey to select all your necessary buildings, so you tend to put them into hotkeys, which makes the number of hotkeys available small. But still, 1a2a3a isn't that hard, SC2 or AoE. Of course, you have the (dis)advantage that the units will no longer be in 1 single formation, which may or may not be what you want.
Actually, after testing, since the ctrl-B type hotkeys snap you to a TC/barracks and focus your camera on it, you probably want to hotkey your buildings with numbers as well, so you can macro while fighting. In which case the number of hotkeys you have is limited, strengthening the above poster's point.
|||Let's assume then, that I might be the kind of person who tends not to hotkey buildings, maybe because I really prefer versatility in micro-managing my army, there's no reason why this feature CANNOT or SHOULD NOT be implemented. Obviously, you, the other poster, and many others do without it, so I'm not trying to say anyone should do this my way, but just having the option there makes everyone happy.
The issue isn't whether multi-group hotkeying is better or not, I just want the option to be there.
