Changing the active unit

[Metropolis Man]

Hey everyone — my first post. I just picked up Civilization III yesterday, so I am a raw recruit! Bear with me here — this probably will come off as a stupid question. I notice that the initial units — settlers, workers, warriors, archers, and spearmen become active randomly at the beginning of turns. Is it completely up to the game to decide what becomes active? Or can I change the active unit? For example, I just started Rome and have probably 3 workers, 3 warriors, 2 spearmen, and 2 archers. I built another Settler so I could start another city, but it takes so long between moves for a given active unit.

Thanks for any input — I love SimCity 4 so I'm looking forward to getting into Civ III.

You can either press "W", which will move it on to the next unit in the cycle, or you can just click on the unit you want to activate. I'm pretty sure the cycle will then adapt to keep this order (until you change it again)
