ninety9...need help with civ3.....
 

ok I need help on somethings, first of all I create an army unit, the ones which can create an army but I dont freaking know how to take a unit away from an army and add a new unit. For example I add 3 tanks in a army. But i want to take a tank unit away from the army and add an infantary.
Also how the hell do you put fighters and bombers on Aircraft carriers, what button do I have to press?
Lastly how the hell do you do amphbious assaults by marines or assault by paratroopers. I place this marines in those landing crafts but I only can land them and not conduct amphobious assaults on a city godammi!

I hope you can reply this man. thx.

Hmmm its been so long, when they are in the transport can you click their unit icon, onl bottom left, and move it to shore?

Hmm, how did I miss this thread. Anyway here goes:

I don't believe you can take away a unit from an army and add another unit. I have never done this before. Usually when I get a leader I always wait until i'm advanced enough and I have modern armour and put 3 of them in the army. That way I don't have to take any out cause their the strongest units in the game.

To put any aircraft onto a carrier, have your carrier on an open sea tile, select the aircraft and select the "re-base" button at the bottom of the screen just like you would if you were going to put the bomber in another city. Then just click on the carrier. It only holds 4 units though. Keep that in mind.

To do an amphibious assault don't land the marines. Directly attack the city from the boat. Don't get off the boat, it doesn't work that way. Just move the boat right beside a city and then select a marine and make him move to the city.

To do a paratrooper landing, you have to be in a city with an airport I think, then select the button from the bottom of the screen. I can't remember what its called. Anyway those red boxes will appear and you can parachute to any of those boxes. If an enemy city is in range, you can directly land on the city and try to take it.

You can also use a helicoptor to transport the marines the same way if you don't have an airport. Load the troops into the helicoptor (only can carry 1 unit) and select the button from the bottom and select where you want it to land.

I don't find marines and paratroops that useful though. Marines only have an attack value of 8 and paratroops only 6. When you get to the modern age, most of the other countries have at least 2 mech inf. in each city and paratroops and marines will get killed really easily. I think mech inf has a defence value of 16 or 18 and when a marine goes up against them they don't have much of a chance. It would probably take 20 or 30 marine units to take 1 mech inf out. The marine and para units don't fit well in the game.

Bear in mind I have a "pirated" version and I can't add any patches. I'm still playing V1.0 or whatever. Some of this stuff may have changed in patches and whatnot.

Hope that helps.

Good luck.

By the way, wat difficulty are you playing on?

I can never finish the game before time i up. I play it on medium and usually winning throughout yet I get a bad ranking...oh well. cool:

You can't remove a unit from an army unless you goto the Editor and click add unload to the special action section and load that scenario everytime you play. either way armies are basically useless and you shouldn't use them unless necessary.

the just look at ninety9's post for the rest of the answers
