Military Advisor useless ?

[Nelis]

Hi,

Something is disappointing me in Civ IV : the military advisor is totally useless. In Civ III I was using it to have an overview of my units and mostly to upgrade them.

Now I cannot find another way to upgrade my units than go on every city, click on every unit and see if it can be upgraded .

Am I missing something ?

No, as earlier posts have noted, its a bit useless at the moment. A victim of the early release date, probably. Its bound to get some love in the patches.

I hope so. upgrading wasn't pleasant. Though I do like you can click on the white dots and it will take you right to the unit. But I have to repeat this for every unit. And it takes a couple of seconds for the military advisor screen to load.

Side question, if everyone here had gone out and got themselves a new car with as many issues as this game, how many would have kept it? I'd be switching manufacturer!

I (along with most I would guess) used the military advisor religiously in Civ3. Now it gets opened once or twice a game. Alot of this is due to the lesser number of cities/unit, but it definately needs an overhaul.

The advisor might be useless, but haven't you guys tried clicking ALT + Upgrade? It will upgrade all your units of the type you've chosen, as long as you have enough money. IF you want the total price, do as I said above, move the cursor away from the upgrade button and move back. Voila! The total price is shown.
