Armies, Corps, Fleets

[Sica]

How do I combine my units to make a corp or army. I have the units next to each other with full moves and I see no obvious way to combine them.

heck i can't think of thier names, read description, once you get em, and they are beside each other, you'll see 2 litle stars on the bar next to the skip move and such, hit that then click on other unit and they will combine

How does it work if one unit is lvl 4 and another 2? Does it take the highest level or does it put the exp together?

Nevermind I found out that you have to use the one with the highest level in order to make the fleet/armada - corp/army. Which means you will lose the exp from the lowest unit.

How to undo a fleet? I have combined two battleships, but I don't need a super strong unit, but different ships covering different parts of the map, and do not want to built one more

[malek2991]

you can't once two units form a corp or fleet they are joined forever.

Yeah you are gonna have to build another, oh well look on the bright side, one side of your map will be protected just that much little more. :D

In order to undo this follow these simple steps:

1. Load previous save.
2. Dont combine them.

Nationalism to put two units into a Corp, and then take the corp and put it next to a lone unit to form an army once you have the mobilization civic.

lol... thanks, mates.

What about the advantages? I realize that they (obviously) became a stronger unit (don't know about the health, but the combat power is). They count as one unit to cost per turn or they are more expensive? This could be a huge advantage.

PS¹: I'm asking that, despite of "save/try/reload" 'cause my PC (an old "second generation" i5) is struggling to run the game in late late era.
PS²: Firaxis must give us more ingame info about everyting. Don't know if I'm noobing around, but miss very much ingame infos from Civ5.

The units are marginally stronger and AFAIK only cost a single unit's upkeep. However, the upkeep seems to be literally the only advantage, so I'm really struggling to see any reason to use them; I seem to be absolutely rolling in gold from trade routes in this game, meaning the versatility, ability to attack twice in the same turn, and downright double-health of having two units versus one single Corps means it seems utterly pointless to use them just to save a little gold.

Can anybody tell me if I'm missing something here? :/

I think the combat ability of units scales up non-linearly, and minor differences become pretty substantial as you approach 100. So a 97 vs 90 late game is a much bigger deal than a 20 vs 13 early game.

That's really just a theory though. I have not played enough to test is out thoroughly

[Jugulador]

Yes, in this game a 10% difference is a great difference... especially when you need to breach trought that "one hex" passage or hold a vulnerable flank. But it don't seems to be so progressive... I believe that a 20>13 difference is much more relevant than a 97>90. But it's an intuition of mine and I don't know in practice how it really works.

And it can be a vantage when you don't have that much money but have more units than needed. But Civ6 production is realy slow and I believe that will be hard to built this fat.

I think that the fleet/army/corp is a good idea, but it need more ballance, as the whole game itself
