I am playing a game where I am the allies, but only choose to manage one country. However when I hit the Next Unit button, it cycles through all allied countries. Since I only choose to play one, would think the cycling of units would only happen for my controlled countries....am I missing something or possibly a setting?

It will manage your other countries units, but you still have the option to intervene if you think it's not doing a good job.
But you have a good point here. I can imagine you don't wanna cycle through all the units in that case.
I'll remind Hubert of this topic as I agree with you on this.

Thank you and your exactly correct what my concern is....I just want to move to units I actually control, otherwise it takes a very long time cycling through things I don't want to control. If some people want that, I would suggest just making it an option in settings as to whether you cycle your alliance or only the controlled countries. Hoping this does get changed since sometimes very difficult to find all your units on the map and really want to use next units to help with that.

Ouch, this is a real good point, I like that you can let the computer run some countries.

Agreed, I had the same thought when I played yesterday.
Maybe Hubert can find a solution.

I am hoping too:) Seems like an easy enough option to add and makes sense that in most cases you only want to go to your units that you need to move (even though I understand you could move AI units---which I would never want to do since that is why I put under AI control).

selfish bump to see if developers can comment if possible to include in an update...

Thanks...and by the way, glad I bought the game even with my early concerns of speed and not getting the manual:) A lot to learn though!
