no Rally points Civ IV???

[Silversmith]

Is there Rally points in CIV IV? There were in III. I noticed that i cannot click on a city and set an automatic move point for my troops when they are made.

That would be handy. I thought I read something somewhere about being able to set different rally points for different kinds of units.

I thought I read that too, but damned if I can figure out how to do it. It could be there, but this mystery meat UI drives me nuts. You have to hover over everything to find out what it does, if anything, and that only works when hovering works. If it doesn't, you have to go in and out until it does.

Off Topic: The hovering does seem to need a few tries to work in some situations. Unfortunately I don't have details on a repeatable scenario for that. It's just something I've noticed. But it does always come up with something on a subsequent attempt.

What really bugs me about the hovering is that the info disappears really fast. It should stay up until you move your mouse again, instead of disappearing after 1.5 seconds!

Select a city from the main map by clicking on the city billboard (that has the name, production icon, food bar, etc.). You can tell its selected by the fact that there will be a white glow around the billboard. Now right-click on a plot on the map. That plot is now the rally point for the city. You can also select multiple cities by holding down SHIFT and clicking on multiple city billboards or select ALL cities by holding down ALT and clicking on any city's billboard.

Hmm, I tried this last night and couldn't get it to work. I can highlight the city bar ok, but when i right-click on a patch of land, it just seems to deselect the city. New units just appear at the city as normal Any ideas why it's not working for me? Does it work for everyone else?

Did you possible "turn on right click menus"

if so, you probably have to figure out a different way
