An ability that has the 'Best Unit' flag will cause it to pick the best unit with that ability from your selection to execute the ability (once). Let's say I have 3 Marines and 1 Firebat all with the same ability. Using the unit value Subgroup Priority I can set it so that the unit with the highest priority will be in front of the selection (with unit portrait etc), while you would have the press tab to cycle through the other unit types. Right now, having my 3 Marines and 1 Firebat selected, with Marines having the highest priority, using the ability will cause a marine to execute it. The second time I execute it, a Firebat is doing it. The third time is a Marine. What I gather is the game recognizes both unit types as 'equal' when it comes to the best unit, and will just randomly select a unit from the selection to execute the ability. I want to know, does anyone know at what value the 'Best Unit' flag is looking at to determine the best unit?
