How to copy units

[nate77]

I was wondering what keys you use to copy a unit. For example if i want to copy a civilian with a weapon on him what do i press instead of having to make a new one and having to type all that stuff in its init. box all over again.

select the unit press Ctrl+C then press Ctrl+V and it should paste somewhere near the original unit

You can also use Ctrl X for cut.    Works between mission and intro.     If you have multiple units drag a box round them.    (Make sure you start the box on empty space, not a bush or it won't work.)

The paste location is usually a bit off .... if its a single unit you sometimes have to search a little.     If the original unit has a name the game automatically gives a new name to the new unit.
