You can select multiple units of different types (for example, one Dwarf and two Warriors) by Shift-clicking: hold down the Shift key and click on each individual unit to select them. You can also de-select a unit by Shift-clicking on it, or by hitting the Deselect key. The default Deselect key is the Backquote/Tilde key (~).

You can also select multiple units with a technique known as “band selection.” Click and hold the mouse button on spot on the ground, then drag the cursor across the screen while holding down the button. A yellow box will appear onscreen, growing and shrinking as it follows the cursor’s movement. When you release the mouse button, all of your units within the yellow box will be selected.

You can select all of your visible units by hitting the Select All key. The default Select All key is Enter/Return. Pressing the select all key again will deselect all units.

Preset Selections
Myth II allows you to easily create custom preset groups of mixed types (i.e. 2 Archers, 2 Dwarves and 6 Berserks). Assigning presets is like setting stations on a car stereo. Select the units and hit Alt (on PCs) or Command (on Macs) and one of the ten number keys to create a custom preset. Make sure you hold the Alt/Command and number keys for a second or two for the preset to “set.” From that point on, you can select all units in that preset by hitting Alt/Command and the number you assigned to it. You can cycle through presets using the F key, and clear them using the Delete key.

Unit Attributes

Names
Each unit has a name, which you can change by selecting the unit and
hitting the N key.

Allegiance
You can tell whether a unit is friend or foe by selecting it and noting the color of the rectangle around the unit.
