I've just started a game and my warrrios won't heal even in a city... ???

[Flower]

Hi, I would really appreciate your help as I've just started a game and my wounded units are not healing!? I don't understand, I know there have been patches but I did not see anything related to that. How come my warrior won't heal in my own city?

Best regards,
Flower

You're not playing as barbarians, are you?

(but seriously, what Olleus said. The healing isn't instantaneous, takes a few turns of no activity)

I had the same problem with a knight. It was attacked in neutral territory and I fortified it. Quite a few rounds later it was still injured and I thought maybe fortify doesn't heal anymore or some other mechanic takes effect. But even when I did reach my own territory, it didn't heal.

2 things, healing needs a full turn of inactivity to kick in, and healing isn't instantly going to 100%:

Outside your borders it's 10 HP per turn.
Inside enemy borders, it's 5 per turn.
Inside your borders but outside cities, it's 15.
And inside any of your cities, 20.

Extra: naval units can only heal within your borders unless they get the appropriate promotion.

Extra 2: medic units give extra healing but I don't remember off hand how much.

Extra 3: units requiring a strategic resource and/or a tech require you to have these in order to heal, so if you lose iron for example, your knights/swordsmen won't heal. If you get that Great Admiral who gives you an Ironclad before you get Steam Power, you can't heal it either.

My knight had 2/3 HP and even a dozen rounds later it dit not increase one tiny bit. I fortified it somewhere and half a century later deleted it with still 2/3 HP.

Did you still have enough iron in order to produce more Knights? Units that require resources don't heal if you run out/don't have said resource.

Thanks! Good to know. There was no iron anywere near my cities so I traded it. Chances are high that trade expired.
