So, a town has one Cavalry, one boat belonging to me and one boat belonging to an ally. I want to load the Cavalry into my boat, but it keeps being loaded onto the ally's. Am I doing something wrong or is it a semi-bug?

(Both boats are exactly the same.)

I believe in 2.5, this is a "semi-bug", i.e. there is no way to decide what transport to load onto. In future versions (not sure from when on), there is a nice little popup box:

But until then, you'll have to circumvent this by moving your ship outside the city and moving onto the tile with your unit.

Yeah, I know that, but this was a specific situation where I needed to get the unit on board *in* the city.

Thanks.

The transport selection that Caedo shows will be in 2.6.x (you can try it in 2.6.0-beta1).

I've confirmed that it gets you out of this situation.

Got it, thanks.
