That wont work

I guess you want to select more than 12 units
its possible but its like WTF
You need trackables to detect selection square and triggered orders and custom selection circle models

You want like normal choosing ? Join blizzard and release a patch

(Yea Blizzard would die if they put Player - Set Unit Selection Limit)

You'd have to trigger it.

Make a dummy ability "Add to unitgroup" or whatever.
When it's cast, add every unit selected who's not in the unitgroup to the unitgroup.
Then when you issue an order, have a trigger issue orders to all units of that group.

You could indicate which unitgroup a unit was in using different color selection circle model using buffs. Then just make it so that when you issue an order to a unit, it takes the unit's unitgroup and orders the entire group to do what you just ordered. But only for basic orders, or abilities they all have.

It can get a bit complicated, but I think it could be done fairly easily.
