So I have a question, Can you unload units out of an Army now??? I still haven't gotten an Army yet so i don't know........but I would like to.

Good, Bad, I'm the one with the Gun- Army of Darkness -
nope, and no upgrades either (game-balancing)
so better be carefull what to put in an army
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus -

Imi beating an army of immortals, now that may be the best one I have heard so far. Enough to make a grown man cry.Comment

Immortals are a silly cheezy UU. Impi are cool as hell. They deserved to win.Comment

Still can't upgrade armies? That's very lame. It makes them nearly useless, and certainly not something you would want to waste a leader on when the much better option is to build a wonder.Eine Spritze gegen Schmerzen, bitte.Comment

Actually, my first Great Leader I recieve, I build an army - to win at least one battle - This opens the way for me to build the Military Academy Small Wonder. With all of the other Great Leaders I might receive, I squirrel them away for Wonder construction.

I removed the flag requiring a victorious army to build the Military Academy. Figured that if you haven't gotten an army by the time you research Military Tradition, you should be able to build that so you can make armies the hard way.Originally posted by Wittlich

Neat idea Sinapus...I never thought of that. Of course, this mean having to use the Editor in order to turn the requirement off. To bad this couldn't be done in the regular game set up.

Wait a minute...I seem to recall reading/hearing about how units in an Army will be able to be upgraded or switched (taken out of or added to an Army) in the PTW release...Did I recall this correctly or was it just a dream?

I think many would disagree with your assessment that armies are useless. A search of the strategy or even general forum would pull up many a thread where a case for the the real utility of armies is made pretty convincingly.Originally posted by Falconius

I think that was a dream -- I don't recall ever hearing that, but I do recall reading in a chat or a Firaxian post about how, prior to the release of basic Civ III last year, they playtested with upgradeable armies. Found them too overpowering and hence unbalancing. So it was a design decision to make armies unloadable and units in armies not upgradeable. There was abrief bug (1.16 or 1.17) with the "j" stack movement command that allowed the unloading of an army, but that was quickly corrected (again evidence of their design decision that unloading / upgrading was unbalancing).Originally posted by Wittlich

Maybe that's where I first heard about upgrading armies. Thanks for the reminder Catt.
