Keyboard Shortcuts

[Kinder]

Some of the keyboard shortcut matrices have a sentry shortcut ("Y" or "Shift-Y"). How does this work? What happens to the unit and does it act like the fortification command and pass over the unit during your turn?

I think 'sentry' fortifies the unit, but wakes it when an enemy passes/waits within view (2 squares?).

Yes, like fortify, when a unit is set to sentry it will be passed over, untill a unit from another civ. comes within one square, then it wakes up. Set to sentry-enemy-only, it will only wake for an enemy.

Does this help?

Thank you for your responses. I thought that was what it would do. Great feature, eases gameplay.
