How to wake units/workers

[Radres]

Something I've been looking for since I got the game, thought I would share.

In order to wake all of your fortified units, select one fortified unit, hover over the "Wake" command, hold Alt then click. This will wake all fortified military and sleeping workers across the entire map.

In order to interrupt all automated workers, select an automated worker and hover over the "Cancel Automation" button, hold Alt then click. This will wake all automated workers across the entire map.

These commands will come in handy late in the game when you have so many units that you can't keep track of them all!

This also works with giving orders to multiple units to go to a given square, or for units that have automatic exploring active. This comes in real handy during wartime, you can order all your units to go to an enemy city but if that city falls, you can wake all the units that were going to that city so that you can re-direct them to a different enemy city.

Enable right click. right-click a stack -> wake all

Or if you don't like the right click, shift-click a stack -> wake all.

Your other commands are good to know too. I see a pattern overall: ALT = ALL, CTRL = same type.

Yes, that allows you to wake all the units in a stack. I'm talking about being able to wake all the units on the map.

I wonder how many times I could say "Thank You!" for this one. Now I won't feel too bad about making automated trade-route workers quite so much. I'll be able to find them all real fast if they decide to take a nap.
