but what about the fortifying thing? is it 1 mvt point used up? or 1 turn needed? or is 1 turn needed only if <1 mvt pt remains?

It would be helpful if the right-click pop up showed units as being fortified (completely) or sentry or asleep or nothing. It does, kind of, but the true status is unclear.
If it takes a full turn before fortified benefits are conferred, that sux. I can't say how many times I've accidentally woken up the top guy in the stack. It would really blow to lose an important city in a close fight due to an interface accident.(\__/)

Indeed, fortifying takes a full turn unless you have made no other moves with the unit that turn.Lime roots and treachery!

So if you fortify in your starting square, you are fortified before the bad guys get to go? Good.
What about if you move on rails? You haven't expended any movement.(\__/)

i would assume it works the same way as unit healing, so if you move along rails only and still have full movement you should get fortified immediately.The Civ3 world is one where stealth bombers are unable to sink galleons, Man-O-Wars are a powerful counter to battleships, and knights always come equipped with the AT-S2 Anti-Tank Sword.

NO other movement? So if cavalry moves 2 spaces, then fortifies, it won't get the fortify bonus til next turn? (not that you'd really want to fortify cav anyways, just an example)Originally posted by cyclotron7

As I said fortifying takes a full trun unless you have expended any movement points. So, cav that move 2 spaces do not fortify that turn.Originally posted by Captain

I don't know how that works with railroads.Lime roots and treachery!

I don't think moving via railroads has any effect on their movement status. So if you fortify immediately or move 5 tiles via rail, it would be the same to the game.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

My memory was a little off, it is in Chapter 7: Terrain and Movement page 69 third paragraph.Originally posted by SwitchMoO
I looked at the 'What's Gone' section, but I didn't see any mention of movement, besides that dealing with ZOC.
Where in the manual is it mentioned?"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
