Unit movement in civ 6 is unbearable!!

[Medusahead]

Moving a large amount of units in civ 6 is the most tedious annoying experience of any game I have ever played. The movement system in civilization 6 is BAD. If you have an army of say, 40 crossbows and you're trying to move them all at once, you'll see it. Unlike in civ 5 where you can expend whatever movement points you have remaining to climb a hill or cross a river, in civ 6 you have to manually click skip turn on EVERY unit when they don't consume all their movepoints. I swear this is driving me insane, often I find my units have 0.5 movement points left, I can't move them anywhere and I can't attack yet the game demands I finish their turn.

This is really killing the experience of managing an army, most of my time has been spent clicking skip turn for every unit every single turn. It's more time consuming than anything in the game and it's making me sick. It also slows down unit movement to a snails pace, often forcing units to creep up one tile at a time wheras in civilization 5 you could for instance move along some flat ground then across a river or into a forest.

This horrible movement system is just killing all the fun of war for me.

You can link units together.

[Medusahead]

That doesn't change the fact that you can't expend all your movement points or have a unit automatically end their turn when they have no more evailable actions. You have to manually hit skip turn constantly. And I have a LOT of units.

I agree , it sucks. there should be a way to end your turn without having to micro manage all of the remaining units.

[Avalanche]

Ok, moaning about needing to press a button? don't be lazy mate. :-p

[Daedrac]

I think Space Bar is skip turn, not sure if that's for unit or full turn cause I haven't used it yet. But I never have that many units.

[Troubletcat]

Yeah, there needs to be a button to end turn regardless of any remaining "unit needs orders". Overall I like the changes to how moves are calculated but it's annoying having to cycle through and skip turn on every unit that can't move in a useful direction anymore.

i generally dont have a problem with this even with a large army until i get to tanks i normally just drag a few turns worth of movements in 1 go and then if anything happens i hit space bar, spacebar is the hotkey to skip turn

Later on you can have a military engineer that can build roads. You can try trading first before starting a war to build a road.

Space bar skip the units turn.

[Bl4ckburn1]

Yeah but you need to press spacebar on every single unit, and if you have tons of units that you would like to keep in place its annoying as all hell. The only things that shouldnt allow you to end a turn are missing research, production, promotions and civics and a few other very important things.
Even so, why not give us the option to turn this kind of 'Safe mode' off if we so choose ?

People scream about this every time Civilization releases a new game.

Because all the new, impatient people try to climb aboard the train. Only to find out that Civilization is tedious as hell.

So they rage log, and run back to Fallout 4, Mafia 3, or whatever the latest trending face-shooter is.

This game is nothing compared to Anno 2070 for micro-management.

That game is one helluva babysitting number cruncher.

[Klarum]

Just another one on the list of bad design options...

No this is a real problem and it could easily be fixed. Traveling on roads for example, you're often left with 0.5 movement points and can't make any further moves, yet the game demands that you finish the units turn when there's no enemies to attack and you can't move.

It's redudancy and it makes controlling units in this game an absolute pain. In civilization 5 you could move your unit, it would consume all its movement points then cycle to the next unit without having to click skip turn every time. The only time in Civ 5 where this was not the case was when you had units grouped together blocking other units movement which I do not mind.

To fix the problem in this game it would be simple, just make it so if there's no available moves left (combat or movement) that unit has its turn automatically ended. There's no need to make user click skip turn every turn for 50+ units. It's tedious as hell and slows the game down to a snails pace.

I agree that movement is really frustrating. Especially the 2 moves needed to enter forest or hills. I think, if I have 1 movement left and I enter a forest or hill, that the next turn I should be on that hill or forest with 1 movement point left. It took 2 movements, that's fine, I understand civ 5 had it wrong... civ 6 has it wrong the other way

Use the space bar.

[Furio]

Jeez.. some of you guys just fail to see the point. The OP is 100% correct in his observation that this is a poorly implemented way of moving units around.

Yes, you can use the space bar. We all do that. But that's not the point. The point is that it shouldn't be so and it should have been implemented better.

It's cool that they now use decimals, but when the unit can't move in any direction, just set its remaining movement to 0 and end its turn. Then we're all happy.
