Moving all units in a square at once?

[Fubak]

Is it possible to move all units in a single square to another square easily?

Say I have 10 units in one square and I want to move them over 1 or more squares. Is there an easier way to move them rather than unit by unit??

 

[VoodooAce]

of couse not. that would make things far too easy and playable and make far too much sense.

This is an excerpt(sp?) from a recent interview with Soren about AI. I edited out all the irrelevent drivel but saw that Firaxis might be upset if I posted it. Here's a brief quote that answers your question. I haven't personally tested it because I left the file at work over the weekend.


<Soren_Johnson_Firaxis1> GuestFr: I think if you right-click on a stack and hold down the shift key you can
activate multiple units at once. Can someone confirm this? I heard it might be broken.
<Pembleton> Yes you can do it
<Wexu> it works for me.
<Anunikoba> It works fine Soren
<Sunstone2> 1SOREN: thats right !
<Sabre2th> i can

Should have previewed that. Here it is again:

then why don't they apply this knowledge/ability to the AI so they don't take 100 units doing the 2 tile shuffle. It would really speed up the game, on the AI's end at least.

 

[VoodooAce]

LOL, good point.

Still, this is EXCELLENT!!! I hope it works, will make things much, much less tedious.

Thanks Maximus!

Yeah its so boring seing the AI moving his unit for like 30 seconds

 

[shirleyrocks]

Just remember...it's not the size of your unit, it's how you move it.

 

[vihutuo]

You can only activate(wake) them but not move them together .

 

[CivFan2k1]

Yes you can move them together, if they're on the same square and from the same type:
Hold the "J" key while moving a unit.
It helps A LOT, especially when it comes to workers.
Note that you can speed up the movement (NO ANIMATION) if you hold down the SHIFT key when moving a unit or when the AI is moving - SAVES A LOT OF TIME!

Moving many units at one is one of the advantages of that game everyone complains about. It was "Power of Call" or something like that.

 

[CivFan2k1]

It is called: Call to Power.

About moving units all that in one square:
I'm sorry, it's just pressing "J" and clicking on a square, not holding down the button. It works like "G" goto but with multiple units.
