Played a lot of Freeciv back in the day, this is my first time ever trying it in the browser. Everything looks beautiful, but the UI with the units seems very awkward. Is there a way I'm not seeing to rapidly cycle through all the available units and give them orders?
- roschdal 12y agoThe best way to control units is to learn the keyboard shortcuts for unit commands, and use the keyboard commands in combination with the mouse, just like in the desktop version of Freeciv. So for example, first use the mouse to select a unit, then use the keyboard shortcut for goto (G), and then click on the tile you want the unit to move to.
- colomon 12y agoActually figured out an answer on my own -- the handy thing I was looking for was W (wait, I think) to skip to the next available unit.
- colomon 12y agoOkay, actually the reason I was confused is the web interface seems to be very buggy. W, for instance, seems to shuffle you back and forth between two units as often as it cycles through all of them. And lots of activities, like R or I, just leave you sitting on the unit you assigned it to, rather than sending you to the next unit waiting for orders.
- roschdal 12y agoYes, there is some room for improvements in the unit controls. If you could please list all the bugs you find in unit controls, then I would be happy to fix it in the next version.
