Auto Redeployment

[OrionVeteran]

I'm developing new SDK functions to allow a city, that is "auto producing" units, to send each unit produced to a designated rally point city (City to City). When completed, I should be able to designate multiple rally cities (not just one) to send units to from a variety of other cities. I'm looking for an SDK method for the source auto production city to retain the respective designated rally point city plot so that it can send every unit produced to the designated rally point city automatically. I have developed an interface button to move units manually from city to city. I just select the city I want and over a course of a few turns the unit arrives at the designated city. Works great. Now I just need to automate the process for every unit that is auto produced in a given city. This will eliminate some of the repetitious drudgery that all civ4 players experience on large maps.

Any ideas are appreciated.

I thought each city was allowed an individual rally point. Or is that something C2C got from elsewhere?

Or are you asking about one city having multiple rally points.

Currently, there is only one rally plot that you can set. Everything gets sent there.

I desire to identify a multitude of cities as rally plots. For example:

City A sends all of its newly produced units to City X.
City B sends all of its newly produced units to City Y.
City C sends all of its newly produced units to City Z.

OK well in C2C we inherited something that lets me do exactly what you are wanting. I thought it was in BtS but maybe it is somewhere in Revolutions, BUG or BULL.

edit I just started a game of vanilla BtS. Placed three cities and set up a different rally point for each city.

Rally points are already done on a city by city basis

Sorry about the request. If I had performed the correct key strokes I would have realized that multiple rally points actually do work.

For everyone's information: The process is to highlight the "from city" bar and then on the "too city" plot, hold the keys Ctrl-Shift and right click the mouse. If you see a yellow circle on your "too plot", then you have a new rally point. You can set up multiple rally plots.
