We know that people have different grouping when it comes to units and heroes. What is yours? what's your general grouping, specific grouping f or things like naz,fs or maybe you have a specific grouping for one. So tell us all here!

General Grouping - Basically how you group with all the races that has army or how you group with most of them.

General:
1:
2:
3:
4:
5:
6:
7:
8:
9:
0:

Specific(Specify race here)
1:
2:
3:
4:
5:
6:
7:
8:
9:
0:



I will tell mine in next post.
 
General:
1:Heroes/Demis/buffs/spellcasters(early)
2:Elites/riders(if rohan)/wains
3:trolls/royals/fast units
4:Ranged/Rider/Caster(late)/elites(late)
5:RAnged/special units(late)
6:Fodder(basically units you dont mind losing)
7:Fodder
8:fodder
9:Fodder
0:Buildings(commence,well,beacon,eye)/ships

Small alterations are necessary like for harad you dont have 2 groups of corsairs early, so you rather use the 5 for something else like muma, but this is the general layout when playing army races.

Specific(Fellowship)
1:All
2:Stuns
3:waves
4:gandalf
5:frodo
6:pippin
7:boro
8:lego
9:
0:

Specific(Nazgul)
1:All
2:Stunners
3:Wavers
4:Nova
5:Stomp
6:Stomp
7:units
8:units
9:units
0:commence

Oh thanks alot forum for not letting me post two in a row, but you deleted all that i wrote earlier so i had to write this again.
 
cba saying for every race, might later, but as fs I do a bit different:

Specific(Fellowship)
1:All
2:Gandalf
3:Ara
4:Frodo
5:Boro
6:Gimli
7:Pippin
8:Lego
9:sam
0: goes to beacon if share

gandalf as second, as you often need to micro him close for his aoe, which is probably the spell I use most as fs, as gand got that much mana so he can mass use it, unlike ara with his wave etc.

Ara as second, yes you have him at first pos in the group with all heroes, but he, gandalf & frodo is probably the most aimed heroes in fs (even tho they're the ones that's hardest to get), so you can micro him quickly if needed + you can micro his wave better.

Frodo is a must in 2-5 as you need to be able to pick him fast with your left hand, because his stun is very much needed for fs, kinda what makes them win a fight vs naz in 1v1/9v9, and it's very good to help saving heroes.

boro as 5 because of taunt(horn), can also save a lot of heroes if you're quick to use it.

gimli as 6 cus you often need to stun very fast, and clicking on 6 is faster then mass tab, and since gimli got the longest ranged stun/shortest cd, he shud be the one who you use first, then sam afterwards, so rather be fast to get gimli + you can also micro his slam.

pippin as 7 cus of aoe buff & drunk, just as with boro horn & frodo stun, it can help save a lot of heroes cus of the drunk slow + making a naz - fs fight a lot easier for fs.

Lego as 8 - you can micro his wave, also you can flee with him fast/move him to the right places, as he is often placed a bit away from rest of your heroes due to ranged attack - also easier to lame/lure with him if you can micro him.

Sam as 9 - well, since we got gimli as 6, it's not really needed, but you got the free slot, so why not use it?

beacon as 0 = cus it's easy to remember, and a quick beacon often do the outcome.
 
you can just use f keys for ara/boro/gand cause they are f2/f1/f5
1 for all
2 ara lego gand for ae spells
3 gimli pippin to use clap/haze
4 frodo

 
General:
1:heros/demis
2:elite unit
3:fast units
4:ranged units
5:fodder
6:fodder

6:pike/axe/priest
7:Room to shift groups over if i have enough
8:Room to shift groups over if i have enough
9:Room to shift groups over if i have enough
0:Shipyard (to get wardens), i rarely build ships because they deminsh the size of my army. i do use the small fast ones to move scouts/catas around and save heros when in evil lands.

I usualy move everything down 1 group if i have more of one group. 2 groups of champs/wardens and knights go to 4, footman to 5 etc. Remember to turn on 'bless' in battle and heal outside battle with priests. or when ever you think either is needed.

Specific(Mordor)
1:heros+demis+fellbeast+wyrm
2:fodder
3:fodder
4:fodder
5:fodder
6:trolls

8:room to shift things over if i have enough
9:room to shift things over if i have enough
0:eye,udun

im a lazy mordor. i only group troll seperatly cuz they are so slow. rest i usualy double click move in battles. such as axethrowers and spearthrowers to aim gondorian archers/trebuchets. Remember to abuse wyrm devour and howl.
