Hello AoE2 community!
I had a thought recently, why is it not possible to box select buildings on DE? If there is no technical issue for the developers preventing this, it makes sense to me that it should be possible, if you box select buildings and there is no units included in the selection, it should select all the buildings in the box. If there is units inside the selection as well as buildings, it should only select them instead of the buildings, well.. like it does already.
If you're wondering why I think this would be a quality of life improvement to the game, it should make it.. possible at all..? or.. just easier, to for example select a house behind a castle which you can't really see, then you can use the UI to select just the house and delete it if you wanted.
Also for arena.. players, would make it easier to delete the useless parts of their base without opening the walls by accident
So I was wondering what you guys think or if there is any reason this is a terrible idea that I've missed..
