- Based on all of the praises being heaped on the game, I finally went
- out and bought it. After playing for a little while I have some
- questions:
-
- 1) How do you activate ships!? If I put a ship (tri) into sentry
- mode (while it waits for its cargo to be produced), the only
- way I have found to activate it is to move a unit into it.
-
- 2) If you have a fortified unit sitting in a city, how do you
- activate it? If I click on it in the city window, nothing
- happens. If I press the 'A' key, my cursor goes away and I
- can do nothing until I press escape, but the units status
- does not change. What am I doing wrong?
-
- 3) How much should I have saved up if I want to use a diplomat
- to subvert (or whatever it is called) a city? I realize it
- is probably pretty random, but it would be nice to have a
- ballpark figure.
-
- Thank you for any help.
