Mass Movement of Units
I'm in the 1800s and conducting a multi-front war with several civilizations on a large continent. I'm starting to find it extremely tedious to drag over 100 units to one side or the other of the continent to deal with attacks. I've looked through the rules and I don't see any way (outside of armies, which I don't have access to) of an easier way of moving units outside of the numeric keypad or mouse dragging. It would be nice to have a way of drawing the active unit to a certain position, or massing units on the same square for movement purposes. Is there a way of doing this that I havn't discovered?? Thanks in advance for your help!

Nice brief answer there Lib

That is of course, if you have version 1.17f which was released yesterday.

"Ask and you shall receive"

Why is it "I before e, except after c"? Why can't the English language have consistent rules? Why can't... oh never mind.

It's a rule that is simple, concise and efficeint.
For all speceis of spelling it's more than sufficeint.
Against words wild and wierd, it's one law that shines bright
Blazing out like a beacon upon a great hieght,

It gives guidance impartial, sceintific and fair
In this language, this tongue to which we are all hier.
'Gainst the glaceirs of ignorance that icily frown,
This great precept gives warmth, like a thick iederdown.

Now, a few in soceity choose to deride,
To cast DOUBT on this anceint and venerable guide;
They unwittingly follow a foriegn agenda,
A plot hatched, I am sure, in some vile haceinda.

In our work and our liesure, our homes and our schools,
Let us follow our consceince, sieze proudly our rules!
Will I dilute my standards, make them vaguer and blither?
I say NO, I will not! I trust you will not iether.

Good one Lib. When was that written? Sometimes it's not really surpising that so many people have trouble with English. It's just riddled with contradictions and exceptions.
