[How do I...] Activate my sleeping air units?

[thele]

In my cities, I have a garrisoned Rocket Artillery, and I also put some nukes to sleep, fighters on patrol, and bombers in sleep.

However, the only one I can see is the Rocket Artillery. How do I activate my nuke and/or bombers?

Thanks,

Above the city, but attached to it, is a little rectangle with a number in it. This number represents all your air units -- nukes, other missiles, plus bombers & fighters. If you click the box then all these units show greyed out (i.e., asleep, or fighters on patrol); if you click one of these greyed-out units then you can activate it.

OMG... I've never noticed that rectangle before.... EVER...

Thank you!

seems like one of my games was bugged out..where i rebased a couple air units but the old base still shows the 1 where the air unit used to be and i would click on it and it would activate the air unit even tho it was in another city kind of annoying

Wait until you get 100+ air units, it'll go from "kind of annoying" to, "this is pissing me off!"

Upkeep-free guided missile count is usually the culprit for this situation.

Yep, soul destroying once you build up an air force. I'll have to check if there any mods that let you activate all air units in a city in one click.

I was hitting this with only about 15 air units. No matter what I rebased (fighter, bomber, nuke), the old city would show a count that was inaccurate. At least I knew which cities shouldn't be having air units, though I did screw it up a few times.

Thanks, it's slightly less painful knowing the frustration's shared.

Man, I can conquer the entire world with only ten bombers; why on earth would you need 100+?

Guess most of your air units are nukes or something??

I have seven bombers total, no nukes. I have 30-40 guided missiles and building more, each of which has less impact than one bomber attack, less range, stupidly hard to reposition, etc - but their maintenance cost is zero.

QuickSave the game. Load your QuickSave and all your city air unit counters will be refreshed. No need to exit civ5.

Of course, if you're in the late game (of course you are! You've got AIR units!) on a large/huge map, do it during a toilet break or something.

I have this too... Is this a known bug? If not, someone should report it

edit: It is known. Apparently, it is an old bug that was supposedly fixed, but it is clearly not.
