Hi...

I'm used to Civ2, so the differences in Civ3 are all proving challenging.

I am: OS10.2.8, G4 if it matters.

Here's my latest problem:

Suppose that I have three units in a city. I've "fortified" them. For whatever reason, I want to activate just one of them, and it's not the one that defaults to active when I click on the soldier icon on the city.

In Civ2, I would just open the city screen, click on the icon of the unit in the "units present" window (here replaced by "Garrison"), and I would get the option to activate the unit.

Now, when I do this on garrisoned units, nothing happens. When I close the city zoom screen, the unit isn't active.

How do I activate one of several units in a fortified stack within a city (or generally, in a stack of units in the field?).

This is particularly annoying when my workers on auto run home to cities after they run out of stuff to do...

SO: How do I activate specific units in stacks?

Thanks!
 
[edit: I should have said ... Welcome to the madhouse :wavey: ]

I just right click (control-click if you have a one button mouse) on the city or stack and select "Activate ..." the unit in question from the drop down menu.
