      This mod is superior version of old Selection Deprioritizer. ASE provides with more features and more stable and performant compared to predecessor.

      Options

      With options menu you can enable and disable certain functions in real time.
      options

      Lets go through each one of them to see what they do.

      Domain filters

      You can select what domain to prioritize during game. To do that you need to bind a key for Rotate Domain order. Rotating domain orders makes them be prioritized above others and the order is show with a message and with cursor label.

      domain filter

      You can also use auto one, but it is an experimental feature and requires some time to get used to.

      Unit lock

      You can lock units from selecting with others. Only locked units can be selected together or with shift pressed. Bind Toggle units lock to use the feature.

      Assister filter

      Some units are crucial to be near others. Mobile shields, land scouts and stealth fields won't be selected if they are guarding any other unit.

      assist filter

      Hovers and Naval

      Hovers are helpful during naval combat, but they are considered as Land domain units. You can enable that hovers will be selected with naval units.

      Exotics

      Most units must stay behind others and should not be selected in first place. With that feature you can forget about long ranged units going in with rest of others during fights.

      Compatibility

      Mod may be incompatible with other mods that alter selection and somehow use it. Definitely incompatible Selection Deprioritizer.

      Requires UI Mod Tools to function.

          Very nice that hovers now included in Naval, was crucial for navy maps - thank you!

                  I didn't alter any settings. I do have a bunch of mods installed.

                                Version 2:

                                • add hotkey toggles for domain, exotic and assisters filters
