[cannot deselect units from group once it's formed]

Thanks mutely, @Vantha and @causative. I'll confirm that, but it sounds like that's what's up. (After I posted this health issues led me to forget about it which is why it took me so long to reply.)

[cannot deselect units from group once it's formed]

How do I select or deselect a subset of a previously created group?

Mac Monterey using the latest version of the game. 

When I create a group, I can no longer select a subset of the group. Clicking a single unit selects all units.

I have tried unsetting the group, alt clicking, right clicking, alt right shift banana clicking, and once I poked the screen with my nose.

Once every 17th day, I'm suddenly able to do this. Once. Then it quits again.

Ah. Yes. Groovy. Thanks.

Between working with databases and fighting with USB drives, the idea of just yanking an app never occurred to me.

Sorta feels like cheating but I'm willing to risk it.

I've played almost every day since I downloaded the game a year ago, and so far there's only one design feature that bothers me: it takes 6 CLICKS to exit the game.

1. Menu
2. Exit
3. Confirm
4. Continue
5. Exit
6. Confirm

UI design should almost never include confirmations. They give a false sense of security and according to (I believe it was him) Jared Spool (or his buddy Jakob Nielsen) more data is lost when tools use confirmations than when they simply accept the input.

If those are killed, we're down to 4 clicks.

If I want to see the stats screen (where I have to click 'Continue') I can go look at it. Why is it a required step to exit the game?

I understand there may be a desire to exit the game being played, but not terminate the application itself. Perhaps 2 menu items, 'Leave Game' and 'Exit 0A.D.')

Then it's only 2 clicks:

1. Menu
2. Exit 0A.D.

If not, at least it's down to 3 steps

1. Menu
2. Exit Game
3. Exit 0A.D.

which is heaps better.

Thanks for a marvelous game.
