Departing Troops from Cities - NIGHTMARE

from Elemental Forums

Departing Troops from cities is a joke. They expend their maximum movement points moving towards your sovereign on their own. This includes freshly built troops. This problem has existed from the first day FE was released and seems to have got worse since 1.3.

I don't like to reload games on auto-save, but I am tired of loosing troops departing from cities moving to danger on their own.

This problem needs finally fixed!

 

Great improvements to 1.3 otherwise!

There is a setting you can change so that new troops stay in their city when they are first made. I think it should have been the default, and I have had no desire to change it once I had them staying in the city they were built in.

 

And when you are normally exiting troops, don't double click them, control click each troop you want to select for exit, then click on a square outside the city perimeter to cause them to exit to that square.

This is called "Auto Station New Units" and is found here

Just clarifying as some of these options can be quite odd to figure out.

I have never experienced this!

^ This.

Activate and get used to clicking the tile you want your troops to exit beside the city before continuing onwards to their destination.

It's the only way.
