I'm sure everyone knows that if you Alt-click on a unit in the city screen, that city will keep building that same unit over and over again. And most people know that if you add something to the queue list after that, the city will alternate between the perpetual build and the other selections.
What many may not know however is the alternations also work with partial builds. So for example, in your West Point city, you can Alt-click an Infantry, wait a turn then Alt-click a Machinegunner, wait another turn and Alt-click an Artillery. The city will then keep cycling through all these units forever until you cancel the orders.
This makes it very handy for building up your military since you don't have to keep selecting which ones to build, it's all done automatically. Once one type of unit is completed, the city will start building the next Alt-click in the list.
