	Stacks? Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Can you create stacks of units (instead of moving units invidually)? I can't find any button to does it...

You can move units in stacks by pressing the J button. Every awake unit on that tile will move to where you then click. If you press Ctrl (shift?) -J you will move every awake unit of the highlighted type on that tile. There are buttons to press on the right hand side just above the box at the bottom.

Very useful for seperating your attack units out of a defensive stack. You can even ctrl-J your offensive units to attack and they will do so one after the other.

You need ptw or c3c do do this though.

I don't think so, but it may have been added in one of the later patches. I don't quite recall now. You should really get Conquests, it's worth it. There's a number of new features, including the ones introduced in PTW, that make playing the game a better experience.

I know it's in Civ3 1.29, the last version of vanilla. Just patch your game and use J. (There's no button in vanilla Civ3, but the hotkey will work if you get the patch)

That said, Conquests is definitely well worth it and I recommend getting it anyway.

when I had a stack of 10 spearmen to attack a city, they fought one at a time and not all at once...is this supposed to happen? (I captured the city, though)

Yeah, they attack one after the other individually. Its useful if you know you are going to throw all those troops at the city anyway, or in multiplayer as the other person doesnt get time to move more units in between attacks.

Can you get the stacks to do other things in the same nice order as J for movement (and attack)?

My roving gangs of dozens of artillery riding the railroads taking potshots at AI incursions are slowly wearing out my B button.
