Gameplay tips & tricks

[Aiken]

Gandalf, it's a general rule for units: first loaded - first deployed, second loaded - second deployed. Note, that you can't store ships in cargo.

Aiken: for simultaneous games, how do you make sure the troops are loaded right after the initial load? If you attack,load,attack,load, etc, don't they get all jumbled up?

Slick.

I tested deployment of multiple unit types with load/drop cargo orders: loaded 4 types of troops to transport and then ordered it to move to planet, drop troops, load troops, move to next planet ... There were 4 destination points (my planets). Next turn, placement order of troops in cargo was the same as initial one (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th). I'm not sure about real planet assault, though. I'll make a test game to check it, and post my observation here.
