Help me make this game more fun

I do agree that the designers could have made live easier by allowing the player to move stacks of units though.

You can move stacks of units by pressing "J" or by clicking the on-screen button "move stack".

Oh, that's new to me... I'll check it out tonight.

Is there a reference of handy key commands somewhere? I have the impression that there is some functionality in Civ3 hidden behind undocumented shortcuts.

Well, there are a great many on-screen buttons if you play PtW (the "move stack" on-screen button only exists in PtW IIRC- the stack feature appeared in January 2002, so you need to have your Vanilla Civ3 patched).

I remember having seen a hotkey reference somewhere, but I can't say where. I remeber there were quite a few lacks in the British PtW manual though.

Here is a document with hotkeys and other things. I used it for vanilla Civ3 but I suppose there is a more recente version for PTW. Sorry, but I can not remember where I found it.

He! What the hell!??
I can not attach my PDF file nor delete this message.

Under Preferences, there is a selection for "show all unit actions" - or something like that. I believe it is off by default. Check the box and you'll see a whole new set of options including all worker automation options.

Thanks for the tip. I am playing the vanilla game currently. //edit:// well, the magic "J" key worked, but no unit option appears as button, nor under left-click. There is also no option in the preferences screen. I'm using v1.29f, which is the final version I believe.

Nym- could you try again? Such a doc would be very nice to have.

I know where I have found it now! Have a look here.

[Grim Legacy]

Thanks Nym. It's for an older version, but I suppose not too many things have changed in the mean time.

Be sure to check the Apolyton directory. There are many hidden treasuries to be found here.

I dont have PtW, and can't see buying it this close to conquests release. I guess I have another month or so of click-click-clicking.

Damn!!!!
Are you really sure to be logged as me?? If yes it is what is called a security hole.

Yeah... it says so in the top right corner. Not on the forums though- as you can see I am posting under my own nick.

In fact I do not see within the URL my userID. So I do not understand how it can be written 'Logged as Nym'.

Webmaster? Is there an Apolyton webmaster to explain that?
