Is there a way to stack bombard?

[wit>trope]

I'm going around with my fleet of about 90 frigates crippling enemy cities along the coast and I hate having to auto-bombard for each ship. Is there a way to stack bombard?

....is there a way to stack other things?! If yes, I'm going to be mad...

I believe there isn't.

Errm, Elfangor don't mean to upset you, but you can stack move all units in one tile or move all identical units in a tile to wherever you please. There are two buttons on bottom right hand corner for this on C3C. I cannot remember If PtW had this feature.

ptw had it

Im not positive but i think that in Civ3 (the original) there was a hotkey for moving units in stacks

 

[warpstorm]

No, there isn't, unfortunately. You can set auto-bombard, but that isn't the same.

I don't quite know why you would want to stack bombard, unless you didn't have enough artillery with you...

I mean, I suppose it could be useful, but it would be quite inefficient (unless you did it in small enough stacks so as to make it practically not worthwile)

Or, if you prefer the keyboard:

Move all units in stack to tile: "j".
Move identical units in a stack to tile: "ctrl + j".

Thanks to crackedcrystal for the "ctrl + j" correction!

you can hold down 'b' and click the mouse a lot of times over the target. If you're lucky and the bombarding units are in subseqent move order the units should bombard one by one for a while. This is not a feature that was meant to be there though, so the results may vary.

I just move my stack into position and press B then F. And repeat X times. Its not ideal, its not fun, but that is just how it is.

Or, if you prefer the keyboard:

Move all units in stack to tile: "j".
Move identical units in a stack to tile: "shift + j".

its CTRL + J for same type
