Airlift - things cant be airlifted...

[Bretwalda]

Airlifting is great, you just capture a city on a distant continent rush build an airport and you can pour in reinforcements.

In my recent conflict with the Germans, I did this, every turn a dozen of tanks arriving at the lovely seaside town of Nurnberg...

But there are limitations to airlift: U cant airlift leaders, armies (even without units), workers, ships, planes and artilliery. Yes, for some reason you cant airlift any only bombarding unit.

This seems a bit weird for me. Even I think leaders should be transportable this way... but not being able to lift cannons and stuff is a bit weird for me...!!!

I agree, you should be able to airlift them all. Especially leaders and workers.

One thing I learned about leaders, though, is to hurry those Modern Age wonders on the continent you're invading (except SETI). This lets you immediately expand your culture borders. Also lets you dump the leader immediately, so you're eligible for another one (apparently you can only have one at a time).

You don't have to airlift planes, you just rebase them.

The worker thing is a bummer though...especially when you've just destroyed all the improvements before you take the city.

Just go to the editor and make all land unit can be airlift.

All you need to do is check the Airlift box for that unit, Armies included
