Can you select all units of one type?

Is there a way to select all units of one type on the map (say tanks), with one command/click?

Here's a link to keyboard shortcuts:

Appears that Ctlr-Click a unit may be what you asking for, but I've never tried it myself. I don't think there is a Command that specifically selects a desired unit type all over the map. I think you have to click on one of the units.

I assume you know how to group the same unit in a stack as well as group units in general.

Thanks lymond, I appreciate the link.

I am in game now and control click works for all units on that type in a selected stack. I cannot seem to get it to work for every type of that unit on the map, which would be great when spamming tanks all over the continent to get control of them all at once.

If anyone knows a way to do this please let me know. Thanks!

Try Alt + Click.

Not on the Stack, on a single unit. With workers, this functions.

I'm pretty sure this is not possible. In general, the game does not allow you to group units which are not on the same plot.

The easiest way I can think of to "spam tanks all over the continent and get control of them" is to select all your cities at once (alt + click, or ctrl + click on a city), and then set a 'rally point' somewhere near the front line by using shift + right-click. The effect will be that whenever a new unit is built, it will automatically be ordered to move to the rally-point. And so all your new tanks will gather at the same plot, making it easy for you to select them all.

Control-click a unit selects all units of that type on that tile. Alt-click on the upgrade button (when available) will upgrade all units of the selected type all over the map (assuming you have enough gpt). Alt-click on the "wake up" button of a selected sleeping unit will wake all units of that type all over the map. I have never tried alt-click on any of the other buttons. That may be interesting to try.
