Damnation! Sometimes I would just build huge mobs for the fun of it, but trying to get them to attack at the same time was a pain.
Great game though, artistically I enjoyed it more than Warcraft II.

Select a group of units. Press Ctrl+# (where # is 1..4 or maybe 1..9; I can no longer remember) to bind that group of units to that number key. Then press the # key by itself to select that group.
