Goto Home City...

[Chris Pine FIRAXIS]

I was just wondering how many people regularly (or ever) used this command?

Your vote does matter!

[Seeker]

I use it for ships.

[John-SJ]

I use it often enough, especially for ships. Probably a specific Goto Home City command is not needed as long as there is a general Goto City command to replace it.

My 2 cents.

There are situations where I want to send units to their home cities so it needs to be easy to do but a specific command isn't required.

[OrangeSfwr]

Yah, for me I use it for ships. I found that units often got 'confused' in the game if you told them to go to a home city. Once in a while they would just go back and forth between two squares. So I stopped using it. I think it should have a specific command.

When I want a unit to return to its home city, I usually make that decision from within the city itself, calling the unit back home. Otherwise, for the unit itself, the general GoTo is what I always use.

Wow I didn't know there was a command like this I gotta use it in SMAC now moving those ships across the map is tedious, man I can't believe I didn't know this it would have made being the Pirates a lot easier in SMACX. *Par4 walks off mopingly and talks in a depressed voice*

Yeah, I use it quite a bit for ships and units that are just out on scouting routes around the city. I also use it sometimes when finding a new unit in a goodie hut (eg a legion) which I want to use for defense in the city. Saves me a fair bit of time. Please don't remove it, if that's what you're hinting on

Does that mean that Support of Units again is handled not globally but by each city individually? bahh I hope not.

I also use it very often. It's mostly later in the game, where I have lots of units, in this way I don't need to micromanage so many units!

Keep up the good work Firaxis, but please focus on Civ3, not Dinosaurs, I have waited since I was 10 for a Civ3!

[Father Beast]

I've never actually used this command. I have occaisionally used the "go home to nearest city" to change the support for a unit, though.

[Sarxis]

I had used it a few times in Civ II, but because of my fear of the AI's pathfinding inconsistencies, I won't use it anymore.

i play SMAC and i use the goto city feature but i never use goto home city (i'm not even sure if it's in SMAC) and i think as long as you can pick which city you want your unit to goto then there is no need to clutter up the interface with rarely used options

korn469

please give us units supported by the civ and not by a city!

[Theben]

I don't think I've ever used it. Usually I'll click/hold on any square I want the unit to go to (often NOT the home city).

Oh yeah, I'll chime in against city-supported units UNLESS you plan to incorporate a city-state government construct. Modern civs should support units on the national level.

I use it from times to times.

CTP's goto command to any sqare of the map is much better and I do hope that support for units will be on a civilization basis and not a city basis, you need to cut down the amount of micromanagement.
