For a long time, players of Forge of Empires have been plagued by a frustrating issue that can lead to unnecessary losses and errors in battles. The problem lies with the defending army being locked at the front of the unit selection list, causing accidental mistakes when selecting units for battle.

When trying to select units for defense, it's easy to accidentally send a defending army unit or even a rare and prized future era unit into battle instead of the intended unit. This can result in losing valuable units or even battles. For some players, like myself, this has become a common occurrence. In fact, more than half my losses have been due to 'miss clicks' caused by the defenders being at the front of the list.

The issue arises because different unit type tabs have varying numbers of units at the front of the list that need to be skipped over. This can cause confusion and mistakes when trying to select units quickly during a battle. To make matters worse, there is no easy way to hide or unhide the defending army units, making it difficult to avoid accidentally sending them into battle.

After searching the forum, I was unable to find any similar suggestions or ideas that address this issue. Therefore, I propose giving players an option to hide or unhide the units selected for city defenders or the defending army. This would greatly simplify the process of selecting units and reduce the likelihood of errors and losses due to accidental mistakes.

By allowing players to easily hide or unhide their defending army units, Forge of Empires can improve the overall gaming experience and reduce frustration.
