    I would of liked to see a option where you could lets say select all availible units of a certain kind (like tanks) and move them all to a particular spot with one command.

        You also have way points. I have not tried them, but could be used to corral units.

          player1, do you know where I can view a comprehensive hot-key listing? I especially would like to know what the move the whole stack one is.

          Many Thanks!

            If you right click on the unit when it's in the stack, 'move units of same type' is one of the options.

                Oops, how about an entire stack of 'mixed units'?

                  Antrine, simply press 'J' for that. CTRL-J for a specific unit type, and the J for all units within a tile. Extremely useful and I couldn't live without those commands.
                  However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

                    Sorry, I gave you a bum steer! There's a button in the Right hand corner that does that. I got it mixed up with the City menu (which I find handy).

                      I meant if you like RTS games - as all others on this site are, with the special exception of RoN. Civ3 has a different feel to it than Civ and Civ2 did, and for many people (like Osweld as an obvious example), as it did not become the type of game that Alpha Centauri was, was a disappointment to them. If you like SMAC you might dislike Civ3, but that's no given. I loved SMAC to bits, but haven't played it at all since Civ3 came out.

                            It's playable. I know PtW wasn't great at first but the patches seemed to help. I don't have C3C yet so I couldn't tell ya how that is. A lot of people I know do PBEM and that seems to work just fine.

                              If it was just Civ3 then I'd say maybe not. I actually did play SMAC after Civ3.

                              But with Conquests out, I have to say buy it! Just running through the conquest scenarios alone is worth it. Not only are they interesting challenges in their own right but it gives you an idea as to the wide flexibility of the editor. I don't do anything with it myself (time constraints - too busy playing ) but I am sure that some of the people here will produce really interesting stuff with it (since they have in the past).

                              The scenarios are what made it worth it for me. I started at the beginning and am working through to the end in order.
