Selection Rank

Selection rank is what decides which units will be selected when doing a box drag over multiple unit types such as fighters, constructors, buildings.
There are 4 selection ranks 0,1,2,3.
0 is unused, 1 and 2 are for buildings and constructors, 3 is for fighting units.
When doing a box drag over units with different selection ranks, only the units with the highest rank will be selected.
You can see a units selection rank as a large grey number on the side of the command menu; generally fighters are 3, builders and factories are 2, caretakers and defence are 1.
You can change a units default selection rank in the in game settings, for example commander set to 2 will avoid accidentaly cancel building queues or killing your com by issuing commands that were meant for your army.

You can bypass selection rank this by holding shift while dragging, you will select all units/buildings in the box.

Default selection rank are customizable trough the ingame settings.
