Is there a way to que your purchases then deploy. If you plan on buying lots of units it will be a pain to keep going back into the unit purchase screen. Is there also a way to know if you may purchase a new unit.. IE.. Lowlands scenario.. allies cannot place a unit once bought..

thanks in advance

Yeah, I'm a bit unclear as to what cities and/or when you (or the enemy) can place reinforcements, it would be good to have a view or overlay of potential reinforcement areas.

Dont think you can que your unit purchases, you buy it then it goes down somewhere. so you have to pop back and forth.
In the purchase screen units that you can not purchase will be redded out. also if you look at the top of the unit purchase screen you will see a counter that will tell you how many slots you have open for new unit purchases.

You can deploy new units at any city hexes you currently own or if captured city you can deploy after you have held it for at least 3 turns, so capturing a city results in a deployment delay for that city. You can purchase units at anytime during your turn by clicking the $ button on the bottom of your UI window. The top of your UI window will show how much current prestige you have so you may or may not have enough to buy any units. I believe the AI usually places new units before it ends its turn, as I have some times seen new units pop up just before the turn changes
