I tried to group units hotkey them , but the game doesn't support that, obviously. Really peculiar is that you cannot click a unit and see its path and destination. That makes any larger troop movements fairly tedious and isn't much fun. In my game today small continents, standard size I wiped out the two civs that were on my continent, and then just switched to playing for a diplomatic victory because it didn't seem fun to have to navigate a large army across the world.

In Civ4, I could click a unit and see the path they're following and destination. Maxor , Sep 27, I think I might just play small maps until this has been addressed, unless I go for a non-conquest victory.

I'm so used to churning out units that I have a flood of soldiers running around. I'm playing lower difficulties so I can learn the new game mechanics, but it's hard to break the habit of always making more units.

The unit should not be able to attack or defend. The best time to build an army is yesterday. The second best time is now. Originally posted by SwahiIi :. Last edited by RNGeepers ; 14 Jul, am.

You should always have enough troops to defend, but you shouldn't build any more than you need if you aren't going to war. If you're going for domination then you should start building an army just before you get your unique unit not sure why you wouldn't have one if you're a warmongerer.

Then once you get the tech, start building a lot of your unique unit. Now if you're unique unit is late in the game then you should do some warring before you get your special unit. How do you keep up your happiness? So there's 8 ways to keep up your happiness that I can think of.
