Same way as Starcraft. You drag the mouse, select some units, CTRL+1 to
register them as a group, then you can press '1' whenever you want to
refocus on that group. You left-click to move the group to whereever you
want it, and right-click to remove the group selection.

A nice feature that is not in Starcraft is 'x' to scatter selected units.
Probably not applicable to Freeciv.

Oh, one thing I forgot: Replays are just soooo useful! I often watch good
replays of games to learn those latest, coolest tricks of the trade.
