Upgrading units?

[claggie96]

Question about upgrading units. I know you need to move the unit into a city with a barracks, but can you upgrade all units of that type by doing this? Ie. Can I upgrade all my Pikemen by moving just one into a barracks city?

Thanks,

No, but if you press Shift-U, you can upgrade all the units of the type selected which are in a city with barracks.

So if you have 10 pikemen, 6 in cities with barracks and 4 not, pressing Shift-U when one of the 6 pikemen is activated will upgrade all 6 (after telling you the cost and giving you the chance to back out, obviously).

Can you tell me where you got that information from please, I seem to miss out on all these shortcuts

There's a big list of them near the back of the manual. I only found that out when someone on the board pointed it out, though!
