Accessing Stacked Units

[Scouse Gits]

No fortifying in a fortress is without effect - and finbar, surely you need only fortify a single (best defensive) unit - if that loses the remainder (outside a fortress) is academic ...

Well, I can see why you'd want more than one fortified in a stack, especially outside a fortress. If [best defensive unit] survives the first attack, another fresh, [best defensive unit] is ready to repel a subsequent attack. But you definitely don't need everything fortified (it's not gonna come down to that fortified artillery saving the day), other than to save the nuisance factor of passing/ waiting multiple units until it's time to go. Just don't fortify the diplo's and it should be no problem.

"A" will only show you a portion of the stack, unless you unfortify and move some of them. You may know there are 30 units on the square but you can't do anything with them until you get the top one's out of the way.

Earwicker's right, I think, on both counts.

War does get rather boring in civ. The interface is very clunky. Too much micro involved.

That's partly my problem. I also simply don't have the patience to plan and carry out the strategy.
