Moving large numbers of units.

[TLF]

Is there a way to move a large number of units with just 1 or 2 mouse clicks instead of having to select and move each one separately?

I know about stacking, but that still requires each unit to be selected and moved individually to create and break up the stack.

In a RT game I can lasso a group and then click on a destination and they will all move to that area.

in vanilla you can't move stacks, you must move 1 at a time. In c3c you can move whole stacks with 1 key, and I'm not sure about PTW.

I thought stack movement was in one of the vanilla patches; J for whole stack ctrl-J for units of one type?

The shortcut keys can be found:

I always had problems using the stack commands in vanilla, though. Very tedious work. I don't know about the Ctrl-J for a type of unit move, I didn't see that on the shortcut list, but maybe I just overlooked it.

I think you just just have to move them one by one, but in Civ 3 Complete there might be a way.

In vanilla, you can order a whole stack to move and the whole stack will move even those who have to wait a turn. (all movement used up) But I think you can only move units of one type with the j key. I've had C3C for a couple of years now so I can't exactly remember the details.

I just remember using the J move in my first C3C game and my whole garrison moved out of the city that was under major attack by AI. it blew my mind.

You can also set rally points to collect your units.
