I dont know if anyone has suggested the possibility of getting some grouping options because I dont like haveing a big group scattered then having to go and repair a tower or building and then having to find my whole group again. I think that it could be done using Graffitti at least to call them up quickly once they've been assigne a number.

SECONDED! As a long time player of Starcraft and related games, I found it frustrating that I couldn't group things. It'd make battles where you're managing squads of troops or vehicles that do different things, like a mixed unit of hydras, liberators and, and the artillary unit a lot easier, especially if you prefer finesse over force and so [i]must[/i] micromanage your units, targetting enemies one at a time.

Ah but you see, you can be surrounded by the enemy on two sides of your little army, and selecting all the infantries (as an example) and telling them to attack a unit will pull them over to either side.
Or if you are near a replicator triggerer and you want to select the army thats around it except for the guy on it...

Groups would be handy. Very handy.
