I have a problem where say I have a group of villies farming and another group of villies who are gathering wood. I've had a problem where the villies who are done chopping wood become idle and some of them will wander back to the TC.
My goal is to re-task them but I don't know how to grab all IDLE villies at once. If I double-click on an idle villie it will highlight all the ones farming - if I try to use my mouse - there is a chance that I might grab an active villie.
So, I usually click on the idle task bar and grab each vill one at a time.
There must be a better way to do this??
Help.

you shouldnt be picking idle villies when they are farming anyways, because they are not idle...
The world is merciless, why should i care?

You missed the point - the idle villagers and the farming villagers are all next to each other.

Could you just make one thread and ask all your questions there? There are other people besides you in this forum, if you didn't realize.
Get used to control+double click, it has amazing uses. It selects all of that type doing the same thing. Wercs both for military and economy. Also, if you want just all idle vils, hold shift and click the idle vil banner.

Dang Shiva, half the posts on the front page are still from yesterday and that is the norm around here these days. There may be other people besides him here, but not many other posts are going up. Are you anxious to keep posts from 2-3 days ago on the front page or what?

No, but it isn't good Forum etiquette to make four threads when one would suffice.
It also sounds as if your unit stance is set on defensive which causes villagers/ caravans (a bug , i think) to walk back to the tc and become idle. Set it to aggressive in the game settings. Its like they forgot what they were doing.
