hey everyone i have a question about this command (i think it's this one, the one that looks like a stick )
as i understand it, selecting that command sends the unit to sleep until an enemy unit comes close, then it is activated ready for action. however it doesn't seem to work!
there's been a few incidents recently. i had destroyers and the germans had only wooden frigates and galleons, my destroyers were sentried by my fishing boats protecting them. yet somehow, the enemy ships were only spotted once they had dropped off about a million troops (after sailing right past my destroyers). i took them out but then it was too late, as the troops had already been dropped off. i had the destoyers there to protect my coastline!
what's the deal then? is there a specific distance before the unit is activated? does it work with all units or just specific ones? it works with catapults i think?
anyone who could explain will be most welcome!
