Question on fleets

[Evil_Duckie]

Hi everybody,

I'm new to the forum, although I've been lurking for a long time. Got a question that's been bugging me for a while and I hope somebody can help me out with this:

Is it possible to create a fleet that contains one or more other fleets? Or group fleets in some other way?

E.g. if I have 2 fleets converging on an enemy fleet, I'd like to combine them, do battle and then when it's all finished, let them be on their own ways without manually splitting them up again.

Any thoughts?

You can't group fleets. If you shift-click them both and give a move order they will move together, but this is somewhat dangerous because they don't always arrive at the same time.

Shift-clicking the fleets will make them move the same speed and direction for one turn.
If one fleet is faster, then it will have some movement left unused at the end of the turn.

Both fleets will attack together too. You merely need to have the fleets meet at a staging point where you can shift-click and then give orders to attack together.

Thanks for the advice. Not really what I was looking for, but still it's useful.

This one isn't... But it kinda helps me when I'm playing SE... He wants to take over worlds as well...

In turn-based kan je ze wel selecteren en dan bewegen ze tegelijk, maar ik vrees dat ze na die eerste beurt allemaal apart bewegen (als je doel een plek is waar ze in 1 beurt niet kunnen komen) en als je dan dus veel fleets hebt,..... tja, dan wordt dat toch wel een lange wachtrij voor de kassa.

In simultaneous heb ik geen flauw idee over hoe het gaat, want ik speel alleen maar singleplayer hotseat turnbased.....

Btw, welcome to the forum!

The UNIVERSE?!? Pah! I almost have pity with this tiny creature. I subject entire DIMENSIONS at a time! The only reason why I haven't taken this one over is because I like you guys!

Yes, I hace alway manipulated StrategiaInUltima. He think he rule over entire plan but he does only MY will. And I had enough well cloaked plans filled with baseship and troop to overwhelm him if he want to rebel.
