Really really stupid and basic game mechanics question - 3/16/2010 2:35:37 AM

Status: offline 		I just got TOAW III and am excited to play it -- I remember playing the first version many years ago.

But, I can't get this to work right...

I have a unit selected. I want to select a nearby unit. When I move my cursor over the nearby unit, I get the circle icon moving my selected unit. How do I de-select the first unit so that I can select a nearby unit with just a quick left-click?

Thanks!

Uhhh.......there's a manual inside the Matrix folder, maybe your questions will be helped by reading this first, eh?

Most likely because I'm indifferent to the poster's problems, O' Forum Guru! Reading the effing manual comes with buying the game.

Manuals are for sissies. Real men blindly forge ahead regardless of the consequences.
