This has not worked for me, and as my empires get larger the micro-management of new units is really becoming a drag.
1. I left click on the city name on the map under the city. (it lights up)
2. I Shift-right click on another city (it gets a cute yellow circle around it).
I tested this many times on cities that crank out one unit per turn. Nada, zip, zilch. No routing. I still have to move the units manually, turn after turn. If I try re-setting the route, the original target city still has the yellow ring around it.
I uninstalled the game and the 1.52 patch. I deleted the folders in the Program directory and the my Documents directory that the uninstall program left. I cleaned the registry. Then I re-installed everything.
Same problem.
What am I doing wrong?
