Is it possible to task, multiple objects say a fleet of ships or a rank of soldiers with one command rather than with multiple task object commands
and if you can can they be different object type to each other eg..archers, militia cavalry as one group and say a cannon boat a galley and a heavy demolition ship or something.
I tried to set multiple objects to do a task but the game crashes when i test it.......any ideas would be great.....

I've never tried this, but I think double clicking selects all that type of unit, even in the editor.

The answer to the first question is yes.
The answer to the 2nd question I think is yes.
There is a catch here however. Several of them in fact.
Search for a post by Cherub Lobby. It will have to do with selecting multiple objects and inform you that they can only be multiple selected when they are newly placed on the map. This causes heaps of problems but it is a defect in the game.
Second catch. Task object often causes the game to crash if everything isn't "just so". Therefore, make sure you use the "go to object" and "go to area" buttons before testing.
Once you have tested the objects are no longer "new" to the map and cannot be multiple selected anymore. You get one shot at it and you must get it right.

I've been around a while. This subject is covered in the newer releases of the tutorial.
