Skipping to Next Unit after Move <-- can this be changed?

[Scippio]

I was wondering if there is a way to stop from autocycling from a unit after it has been given a "go-to" command or an attack order. I like to send workers with the "go-to" command and still have the worker selected. And, I would like to see the combats.

Any .ini settings or preferences allow this behavior?

Whenever I use the goto command the unit stays selected, unless moving has used up its movement points. AFAIK, there's no way to select units with no movement points left.

There is an "Animate battles" checkbox in the preferences menu somewhere. That would probably solve the other part of your question.

Humm, when I give a go to command and the moves are not used up and the move is more than one square (as on a rail), the next unit is selected, even though the original unit has not finished its move (nor expended any movement points)

I don't seem to have this problem. I use goto all the time and I just tested it again.

If it helps, this is in my conquests.ini:
Preferences=00011101100111011011111111110111

have you tried using the "go-go" command instead??

Humm - doesn't happen in single player

In single player, when I "go-to", the unit remains selected -- not the case in multiplayer. I wonder if this a multi-player bug -- errr "feature", yeah, that's it.

I seem to recall that they fixed this behavior in SP for PTW (or was it even back in Vanilla civ...) . In multi (at least on my lan games) this problem has been around since the beginning. It would be nice if it were fixed. (I'd say it is one of the most annoying of the multiplayer bugs for me.)
