            you know, there is an easy way to solve this dilemma that everyone would love:

            (is 'j' the hotkey? lets just say it is...)

            pressing J moves ONLY those units of the same type.

            pressing SHIFT+J moves ALL units in the square.

            At first I was on bigfree1's side, but theHobbit brought up a very valid point. Sometimes you may want to move only your offensive or defensive dudes.

            Does anyone agree with me?

                Certainly there are areas where you might have reason to comment, but the title of this thread clearly states:

                Is this even close to what you wanted for 'Stacked Movement'?

                So how can anyone say anything about the subject if they haven't even tried it? Sorry, but the logic escapes me.

                I hope you see my point.

                  Stacked movement or not, it doesn't really bother me. It's nice that some version of it is in now though, but there are more important issues that need sorting I feel. That's all I meant.

                    Works great for me.
                    This should have been a poll though.

                      Perhaps all the threads on this forum should be polls.

                        There are thousands of things on which you have an opinion but have never tried first hand. You don't have to be a politician to vote or be a scientist to have an opinion about global warming and the US rejection of the Kyoto treaty. Why should this feature of this game be any different?

                            Who asked for a 'move everything' command? I think you misread the point. We are asking for a means of properly grouping units. You can group mixed troops of units in armies or transports and move them around together until you give a split/unload command. That way you could set up, for instance, groups of 6 cannon and 2 riflemen as a bombardment stack. For a particularly tough city you could move both of these groups onto the same tile one turn and easily move them off in their separate groups later without having to move 6 cannon and 2 riflemen manually to divide the two again.

                              Actually, you are arguing over only one or two clicks. This is WAY better than 60 clicks per stack.

                                A couple of clicks per turn per stack as long as you never allow your stacks to ever meet on the same square.

                                Nobody is saying that the 'j' option isn't a damn fine start though.
