I'v finaly worked out the bugs in 1.29b2 , stuff like saving the game every 8-10 turns then reloading so I don't lose 12 turns worth of play. I already don't have enuph playtime as it is.
You shouldn't need to do that. 1.29b2 is stable here. If you do have crashes then I would hazard a guess that your system is unstable, not specifically Civ3.
I assume you have Autosave enabled? That saves every turn, and keeps the four or five previous saves. It allows you to go back one or two turns and reload if you crash. If you are saving manually every few turns you don't need to reload from the save, just carry on playing. Again, if you are findng that quitting and reloading that often is needed to prevent crashes then there's something else wrong.
/b]anyway my question is: How can one move units in a stack? I can't seem to figure this out is there somwhere I can learn the control comands for 1.29b2? [/b]
Use J instead of G and click on the destination to move all units of the same type in a stack. Someone has said that you can use Shift-J to move all the units in a stack regardless of type, but I've never needed to use it, so I don't know if it works.
Health warning: Stack move orders can be dangerous. Units will immediately move as far as they can (maybe nowhere), and then remember their move orders when they run out of movement points and continue on the next turn. If a stack contains units with different remaining movement you might split your stack leaving some units exposed. Telling a stack of workers to move when some of them are still working means the rest will finish their current job next turn and start off in the requested direction. You might not want that.
I chose to post in this thred so as t save suerffer time and not bung up the Mac fourm section with extra threds, mostly cause I'm having a hard time finding what I need in this, the Mac forum.
Every now and then Thunderfall, the webmaster, tries tourning on the Search facility again. Each time he does the server hangs.
So we're stuck with no search
Actulay somone should sugest itemising this forum for easer navigation, of all Mac users so people could find info faster and easer, and with minimum hassal. Actualy if I get time (witch I may here in the next couple of days) I may sugest this very thing with a poll to find out what people think.
This forum is really very quiet, so there aren't so many posts you need to find. I'm not sure I can see a need for much subdivision, what did you have in mind? I'll watch your poll with interest.
Note that most questions you might ask about the game can also be answered in the main forums, by a much larger audience. The Mac version has one or two small differences, but not many, as it's mostly the same code as the WIndows product. You'll find that the Control key is often replaced by the Command key for a shortcut (the Apple/four-leaf-clover key nest to the Space bar), but these are easy things to work out.
