how to move a stack all as one??

[NFace2003]

how do i move a stack all as one?? i have tried the J and the shift-click and nothing works!
please if anyone could give me a detailed explanation of how to do it i would be extremely appreciative.

for the record, i just downloaded the most recent patch for Civ III.

You cannot in Vanilla, but in C3C, just do J+Click. No shift required.

oh man are you serious?

If you have vanilla i would upgrade.

You can get C3C which comes with all the expansions for 20 dollars if you go to walmart.

On Ebay it can be even cheaper.

going to conquests is worth it *just* because of the stack move. Also, you can see what towns have barracks and harbors and airports on the map. Besides, it's cooler...

There's also a button right above the minimap that serves that and the "move just this unit in the stack" function.

You can moves stacks of the same unit in vanilla using j click. It's been a while since I've used my vanilla disk but I just dusted it off and tried it out. Maybe you tried it with a mixed stack? You have to be careful when using it though. Any units in the stack that do not have any movement points left will follow the stack as if on automove the following turn.

I have a vague recollection about moving a stack of mixed units but I could be wrong. Maybe this was a PtW introduction. There are still sheets with list of shortcuts in the civ III reference section of this site. Just make sure you choose the vanilla ones and not the PtW/C3C.

BTW C3C is well worth the buy. I've heard guys here talk about picking up a copy of complete for $10 so keep your eyes peeled. That way you can then play PtW which is like vanilla but with a few new civs and greater functionality as well as getting to learn the new game of C3C. It's still civ but there are a number of differences that mean relearning certain aspects of the game.

ok...well i bought the whole CivIII pack at best buy last night...vanilla, conquest, and play the world...the whole thing was only $20 so it was an easy decision.
i have also found from other members of this forum, that i can load my current vanilla game into conquest without any disruption. looking forward to trying it out tonight...

Note one thing and that is that you want to have vanilla at 1.29F. If it is not, I am not sure if that will be a problem. I know C3 at 1.29f and PTW at 1.27F all work in C3C 1.22.

yes you can. but here comes the bad new ... your current vanilla game will remain vanilla and will continue not to have stack movement. but new games will default to conquests.

 

[NFace2003]

yeah i downloaded the 1.29 patch recently...it works, but has lots of wrong words, it is all out of whack...for example, insted of "gold" i have "clear table". and when i right click on unit(s), instead of saying "view XYZ in Civilipedia" it says "hurry production of XYZ". it's like the deifnitions and words got shaken up.
ever hear of that?

You should do a reinstall using the newer version you picked up. Somehow your labels.txt file got screwed up when you applied the patch. I think vanilla had more than one 1.29f patch for different languages or something. Perhaps you got the wrong one.
