Saving production queue

[dssltg]

Can anyone tell me how to save a production queue and then use a saved queue. I know about using crtl-#key in city screen but does not seem to work for me. I must be doing something wrong.

Any suggestions?

I have the same problem and I have the latest patch 1.52 and it was a clean install on a system that goes way beyond recommendations. I have spent literally hours searching this forum for help on this but so far we seem to be the only ones with this issue.

PS:Incidentally my name is Dave too.

The "load build queue" is broken, or at least it was with the 1.09 patch. I didn't try with the new one yet.
Basically, if your build queue includes any building, loading it will give you seemingly random mix of units/buildings that were not on your original queue.
It does work fine however if you have only units in the queue.
I used it in the past to build military units in my core cities once all the useful buildings are done.

Thank you so much Loyran. I thought I was loosing my mind or I was going to be stuck with a game that wouldn't work right because of some small difference in my computer set up. I feel a whole lot better. I surely hope they address this problem in the next patch or so.

Has this been fixed?

The last version of original CIV is 1.74. I don't know in which revision it was fixed but the queue works properly in 1.74.

What about Road to War? What version of that does it work in?
And I may be doing it wrong. I have tried Ctrl + the hash mark, Ctrl + 1, where do I have to do this on the screen?

Open a city up in city view screen
place items in queue you want
Ctrl + (insert number here) to save queue
Select city or cities, no need to open city view
Press (insert number here) to apply queue.

Note that only what can be built in the queue in the target cities will actually be applied to their new queue; the invalid items will be omitted. If you queue a coal plant from a city queue where there is a Factory present and try to apply it to a city without one, nothing happens. If you try to apply a queue containing horse units in a city not connected to horse, nothing happens. Interestingly you can use this to clear out city queues before you can build research/wealth if you have a queue saved for something now invalid (like Warriors after you have Hunting+BW and hook up metal).

My saved queues also carry over from previous games I have played...not sure if it's because I didn't close Civ4 in between or it actually writes the queue to some location until you call it again.

Thank you. Got it working. I was pressing cntrl plus the number when I wanted to paste. Just the number works.
