Anyone else unable to delete their units at times?

Sometimes I try to delete a unit and click "OK" but they still aren't deleted.

never had this problem. Only thing I can think of is they were in the middle of another actions (which seems to take precedence). Did you click on cancel orders first?

Were they in own territory?

Were they fully healed?

This. Can't delete damaged units (which.. makes no sense, I think originally they gave money back or something but they removed it after people started exploiting it)

The parenthetical is unrelated. Being unable to delete damaged units prevents the tactics where:

• You could deny the enemy XP by deleting a damaged unit before it gets killed.
• You could achieve greater force concentration by attacking with the units in front, deleting them, then letting the units in back charge forward and attack too.

Basically, any time where having a damaged unit in the field was a tactical liability, previously you could just delete it, but now you can't.

Ah. Fair enough. Didn't know they "fixed" that. I thought they only fixed money return on units because the gold return was almost higher than the actual cost of the unit. Didn't realise they also seperately fixed that.

Had an issue where I couldn't delete one specific galley while doing the Civfanatics Game of the Month with Gilgamesh (I think it was Game of the Month 10); but deleting other units worked fine. It's weird though.
