Small, simple idea

[T-Money]

Not a really big deal, but I can't even count the number of times I've sent a worker out with an escort but found to my horror that it was destroyed by a barbarian/enemy due to some misclick on my part. A feature I'd like to see is for defensive units to have an Escort feature. Press this button, select a unit to escort, and the unit copies the worker/settler's movements exactly, and will fortify until that job is completed. This would be especially useful in combination with the ctrl-n trade network worker option.

I like this one a lot. Moreso, a generic "group units" feature would be useful, like an army without the benefits.

Sounds great.

This should have been in Civ3! Sounds like a very good idea just to streamline things a little more.

I agree, this would be a very nice feature to have. J and Ctrl-J were useful, but that concept could have been expanded on more.

 

[douche_bag]

yeah what he said. . .that's a great idea.

 

[GoodGame]

I absolutely agree.

Ditto for a simple Escort this Unit with that Unit button.

Still we have the Autosave re-load option

Great idea!

Yeah, great idea, since the AI is designed to go for your workers so much. I lost a stack of 13 or so in my last game, just because I forgot to move an infantry to cover them as they built a road up into Inca territory. That bites.
