Upgrading units all at once

[Grandpa Troll]

I am sorry, I know I asked somewhere but cant find where the answer is

I know you can hold down shift-U but that didnt seem to do the trick?

I go to the military advisor and click on units then right clikc on say a spearman to upgrade..

I see the option for a single unit..

How can I do say all the spearmen?

or whatever?

Thanks

Shift-u should work for all such units that:

* Are in a town/city/metro with a barracks.

* Have any movement left.

Don;t do it from the military advisor, but from the main screen, and you have to activate one such unit to do it.

Clear?

The activated unit must be in a city with barracks, and you must have the necessary resource for the upgrade, then shift/u will upgrade all the units in cities with baracks

For some reason a while ago this function seemed to just stop working, but then it started functioning for me again. I can only presume that 'd just been being a dumbass the whole time

I can only presume that 'd just been being a numbass the whole time of SHIFTING ME

1. Barracks required.
2. Sun-Tzu: Barracks on same continent .
3. Must have necessary resources available to all barracks (no cut off colonies lacking harbours or airports)
4. I have never seen it not work.
5. Ignore weird posts.

This is not true. It works for all units, no matter if they have movement left or not.

Not in Conquests.

Also, you need money. Much more in Conquests, than in Civ3.
Naturally, if some far away city doesn't have roads leading to it, they can only upgrade to riflemen, max.

Illogically, if you research nationalism, and "saltpeter is in abundance" you still cannot build/upgrade to cavalry, because it still requires saltpeter. Just a random thought. I think I'll fix this for my next game. As well as a basic tank unit, which doesn't need oil, maybe after ecology... Same for the naval units.

Actually, it does work with a unit that is not in a city with barracks. Activate any unit of the kind that you wish to upgrade, hit shift-U, confirm, and you're done.

Of course the unit in the city without barracks will not be upgraded itself, but all the other ones will.

Granpa,
I meant the post from the guy in Tulsa (which actually did make me smile). Nobody else's was weird. Wanted to straighten that out, probably needlessly. Bye
