	Finding units....? Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Hi fellow civers

No questions ctp is a gr8 game but the interface has many inadequacies....one of which IS

I have a civ with nearly 40 cities and at this stage im finding it impossible to keep track of my units or to find them.

As far as i can gather the only way to currently find a particular units is:

1. click thru next unit button until you find it ( hardly time saving and pretty useless when u have countless units all over the map/and in and around cities)
2. Remember where u put it! ( even more unlikely )

Is there any way in ctp like C&C where one can create groups of units and number/name them for ease of location for future reference/useuse?

Ill keep the Q's and hopefully A's posted as i get up to speed with the inner workings of the game. Currently im analysing the gamedata/ai directory files.

BTW i recommend the apolyton and medieval scenarios/updates to anyone who is serious about playing improved version of the original game. Really much more realistic game strategy and hardly any crashes....

with one exception when placing TI i very often get crashes!



Of course now i save on almost every turn..also tiring anyone figured a way of autosaving every turn???

Glad to be a part of this group hope we can share ideas and comments in the future

Compliments of the season to all of you your families and loved ones

Lets pray for peace in 2003! G-d willing

Oh you peasant of a settler You have no idea as to how much crapavision screwed this game.

My number on rule with units, never fortify the ones I do not want to "lose". I think they designed an army manager in ctp2, but not for 1 as far as I know.
Autosave resaves over itself, thus eliminating its usfulness of saving every turn. I have heard of some mention to try and fix this problem, but nothing came out of it as far as I know.

I hope the graces of My Presense has helped you in you. Perhaps we shall meet on a more even level one day

Good Luck Dude
