How do you change the units in an army?

[Alexander's Horse]

That one has me stumped.

[Fatwreck]

you can´t...

[Boris Godunov]

Once placed in an army, the units are forever a part of it. You can, upon building a Pentagon, add another unit to the army. But it's stuck, too. Only disbandment will rid you of them.

yup. sucks. can't even upgrade them.

and moving them from island to island sucks, because a 3 unit army needs a 4 unit transport (first one is a galleon). i find myself sending 2 galleys to move "ungrouped" armies to the larger continents for future use.

[Alexander's Horse]

jeez that's a bit of oversight.

Another question, can you make the small map scroll?

[Inverse Icarus]

again, no. and i really wish you could. i hate having a landmass on both sides of the map :sigh:

[Fatwreck]

that shouldn´t be so hard to fix in a patch?

Not an oversight but a balance issue.

AH - if you want to know how to keep armies useful, just talk to Theseus

[MattPilot]

i'm glad you can't upgrade them. If you could, they would get another layer of power which makes it a whole lot harder to deal with.

I guess if you wan't to change it yourself, go into the editor and add the "unload" flag to the army. That 'should' do it, <- haven't tried it out though since i like it the way it is.

It doesn't in PTW so probably isn't possible in C3C either.

Armies are more than strong enough. Assuming you get one at all then by the time you have built the military academy and industrialised you should not be short of new armies to put units in.

Old armies are worth 100 shields to the city you disband them in, regardless of what units they contain.

That's interesting.

Another use for obsolete armies is to stick them in a city that is being bombed. Let them take the damage.

[Alexander's Horse]

If you got some killed you can replace them?

[joncha]

some of the units? no... its an all-or-nothing thing with armies.
