New user.. just got Gold.. newbie question.

from GalCiv2 Forums

Hi there... just picked up gold today and have a newbie question. I havn't played this game before....

Anyway how do you get the spaceships to move at the end of a turn.... for example.. if i send a ship to go to a certian point on the map and it can not move there in one turn... I then hit END TURN and have to manualy select and re-click to move that ship...

Is there a way for the ships to automaticaly move across the map to the end of their assigned wypoints ever time I hit end turn.

 

Thanks in advance.

When you hit end turn the first time after giving the order, they'll have already used up their movement points for the turn you're ending. Going into the new turn, they won't continue on their autopilot path until you end again, so that you have the option of diverting them if you need to.

First piece of advice - get the new expansion pack (Twilight of the Arnor) online.  Turns a great game into an incredible game.

I still had to manually right click at the end of the turn because if they were set to autopilot just a square away, they'd move the one square but lose all the other movement they could have done that turn.

Thankfully, I recently discovered the option in the option screen to turn off the "skip leftover autopilot moves" feature!

Now I am much happier.

Hey, can you right click on an enemy ship and have it mean "follow" instead of "go directly to this square"?
