Bring units to the next age

[Kopernikus1979]

Hi,

I‘m still not sure how bringing units to the next age works. I think that each city/settlement can keep one unit, right. And each military leader can store up to its actual limits. But is it necessary that a military leader is in the near of the units I want to keep/save or is this going to be done automatically?

Thanks
Nick

Each settlement keep one unit. Each commander let’s you keep the number of units they can hold. So more commanders are good.

But do the unites to be in the near of a city/commander when the age is switching?

No.

I don’t think you keep the same units, per se. You just get a certain number of units in the new age, one per settlement and your commanders get filled up.

According to the in-game message at the near-end of Antiquity you get 6 units as a base number plus whatever you have Army Commanders for.

BUT you don't seem to keep any of your Siege units or Scouts, and everybody else 'upgrades' to the Tier 1 infantry, ranged, or mounted unit of the new Age.

I presume that means, if for some reason you had armies of Scouts (Mayan Jaguar-Hunters?) in the new Age you'd start with some very lonely Army Commanders.

May have to experiment with this . . .

Someone copied the Civilopedia entry in another thread which lays out how units get carried over. Here it is, unfortunately I don’t remember who originally posted it, but whoever it was, thank you, it was helpful. It does seem odd that it isn’t a formula based on map size.
