Load/Unload ([L])
Give this order to a ship to activate all its passenger units, allowing them to
move ashore or onto another ship. The ship must be adjacent to a land
square, a city square, or another friendly ship.You can also click on the ship
to bring up a box showing all the shipboard units.
Wait ([W] or [Tab])
Use this to order the current active unit to wait for orders until you have given every
other active unit something to do. Note that if you give another unit the Wait order,
that unit will get in line behind the first unit you ordered to wait, and so forth.
Air Missions
All of the possible missions that air units can carry out have their own orders buttons.
Bombing mission ([B]): Drop bombs on the selected terrain square
or enemy city.Air bombardment affects city improvements and city pop-
ulations.
Recon mission ([R]): Investigate the selected square and its surround-
ing squares.
Re-base Mission ([Shift]-[R]): Relocate the unit’s base of operations
to another city or an aircraft carrier.
Air superiority mission ([S]): Scout the unit’s defensive range (half of
its operational range).This is similar to the Fortify order in that it remains
the unit’s assignment until you reactivate the unit in order to give it other
orders. Only fighters (including the F-15) are capable of flying air superi-
ority missions.
