Can’t separate units while in large groups in Age of Empires Online

[Where-TO]

I am not sure if this is a bug or not but when i have a group of soldiers mixed in with villagers and i have the whole group selected i can’t seem to get my villagers separated from that group easy. I can see how many of each type of unit is in the group example 6 villagers 10 hypists i click on the villager icon that shows the 6 villagers but it doesn’t do anything. I can’t get them out of there without individually clicking on each one or double clicking a single villager and then it will highlight all the villagers. The problem with that is, when I am near my town center I dont want to highlight all my villagers I just want to get the ones that are mixed in with my soldiers out of that group.

Ctrl + left click on the icon and you will have your villagers selected out of the whole group selection. You can also hold shift and click the villies that will exclude them from the selection group allowing you to move the units out the way and get at the villies.

I believe there is an option in the menu that enables you to exclude villagers while selecting military units. On that. One thing I have noticed is that if I have villagers in my group, all the hotkeys will be applied as if I had them as the active unit even though I don’t. "A" for auto attack turns into: building an archery range.
