Do you know if is there any way to see enemy units promotions? I've tried to select a foreign unit with no results.

Being able to see enemy units would be very useful to see if they have promotions like "No movement costs", "+1 range" or "+1 movement". Thus, you could be more careful when placing your own units.

Also I don't know if AI can see your units promotions so they could react accordingly.
 
If you are at war with an AI, then you can see his promos by hovering over the unit while you have a combat unit selected (but canNOT identify the triangled icons). The best you can do with triangled-icon promotions is check the (unique) unit's automatic promotion list in the pedia.

If you are not at war with them, you can't see their promotions. ... EDIT: But thanks to BomberEscort (post #5), now I know BETTER! :D

It's a pity the triangled icons couldn't be identified. I think it would be easy to offer this info. Maybe in a future patch...

Hold the ALT key down as you hover over civilizations that you're not at war with and you will see the combat odds.
 
If only they made that sort of shortcut clear in the manual. Thanks Bomberescort, for that helpful bit of info!

Pretty nice info. Tks.
 
Another one then is when the combat animation finishes and there is that 2-5 second delay before the program selects then next unit... Hit 'W' and this delay goes away, especially useful after bombarding (e.g. - Bombard, then hit W after animation ends)
 
Is there anyway to see your own unit promotions? They get cut off in the bottom left when you have a lot of promotions.
 
Well in Thal Balance Combined, you can hover over the little promo icons over the unit (friend or foe) to check what that promotion does.

Thx for the info. It would save a lot of time especially when using bombers.
