No. Infact it takes multiple clicks to add one unit. Gosh, you're lazy.
minimum clicks to download and install a unit

and assumes you aren't closing stuff

What an instantly quick way for a newbie to get the disdain of the rest of the civ community.Lonkut said:
Tholish put a lot of hard work into that explanation and for you to even hint at your extreme lethargy and disdain for the effort he showed, well it's just plain disgusting.
Good luck getting any more of your questions answered with that kind of attitude.
I asked with one click and tholish wrote about hundreds of clicks. I appreciate his time and effort but he chose to bring that on himself. And besides when he is not complaining why should you? And he is talking about installing units I want to place not install.
Double post. My mistake.

Wow. You're impolite and you double posted. Try to show some graciousness even if you didn't need what he gave you, he spent some time at it.

Tholish, why so bored, friend?

The hell you weren't!
Besides, you said ADD a unit. That means you adda brand new unit within the editor and incorporate it into the rules. That is whatthe thread title and first post mean. It is an entirely different thing to PLACE one on the map.
So you're doubly screwed for being imprecise and impolite.
That tells everyone else that Tholish' work was wasted on you. I don't know who taught you manners, but they sure failed in their attempt at doing so.Lonkut said:

I am impolite to the ppl who complain all day and I wasn't even talking about or to them. I apologized to Tholish. I was a newbie back then I didn't know the difference between adding and placing. I still am a newbie but I know a little more now.

oh i think i know what you mean.
you want it to be like the warcraft editor where you can choose a unit (ex. grunt) and it selects it and it put it on the map where you want EVERY click... right?
i didnt even know what you ment at first.
