How to unload troops?

Post by Nikratio »

Hi,

Is there a way to unload troops on a friendly planet? My troop transport picked up some inexperienced troops, I'd like to put them back on the planet and pick up the more experienced ones instead.

Thanks!

CTRL + right clic on the planet and select "unload troops at ..."

max zooming in with the "page down" key might be required to clic on the planet if its a small planet with a medium sized spaceport on it

Hello Nikratio;
Select your Transport and Control-Right-click on the planet. Select the 'Unload Troops at Planet 'X'. Once
unloaded, next select the planet. Double Click the Planet Information Box (Lower Left Corner) once
the Planet screen opens, select the 'Troops & Characters' tab. From there, in the lower right corner,
you should see the name of your Transport you just unloaded. Below that is the 'Transfer' button.
Select the Troop you want to load, make sure it's 'Ungarrisoned', then click the 'Transfer' button and
the Troop will load unto the Transport.
Repeat for the number of troops you want to load until the Transport's capacity is full.
You can load a Troop General to the Transport immediately this way as well. But you have
to still use the Characters screen to put him back on a planet. Hope this is clear enough for you!

Ah, it seems my right-click always hit the spaceport rather than the planet. Thanks for the help!
