Embark: Comabt or non-combat?

[War_Pig]

If you can stack one non-combat and one combat unit per tile, can you stack a embarked melee unit with, say, a battleship?

 

[Swift777]

They said that embarked units count as civilian, so I'd say yes.

 

[Delgar]

I guess we'll find out in a few hours!

Can embarked units (or other civilian units) be killed by ranged attacks?

Does attacking/killing an undefended civilian unit end your turn?

Can embarked units (or other civilian units) be killed by ranged attacks?

Yes, they are killed in one shot, unless they are Songhai. In 2K Greg's game his archers prevented the French naval invasion even with much stronger units.

Depends on unit, just like a regular attack.

imho it's a good way so u can actually protect your embarked units.

 

[Schuesseled]

Yes you certainly can OP

@Stealth, greg said he could damage them not kill them with one ranged shot.

I'm just hopping that if there is an armada of un protected embarked units a destroyer can just steam through as many of them per turn as it has movement points, rather than having to pick them off one by one.

Probably I'm wrong. Don't remember the exact quote.

yea i remember civilian units are killed instantly by military units
