Can't Clear anymore predators
I'm about mid way through Act 2 and just expanded into an area. There are predators within my boarders I need to clear to build improvements, but I can't seem to do it. I send my military units over there like I did early in the game, but I can't click on the predators to "hunt" them like I did back in the beginning of the game. Am I doing something wrong? Wrong type of units or formation? Is it a bug? Anyone else experience this?

Scouts clear predators, regular military can't. Mounted scouts can do it just as well as regular scouts, but military units can't. Or at least I couldn't get them to do it either.

I think not all units can hunt predators. But Archers and Bowman can. Likely an unit needs to have a "Hunt" ability.

In the Early game I used my first Spearmen unit to go around clearing the predators so I know they can do it.

This is what I was wondering. Maybe I missed something in the unit description that mentions this. I'm going to try creating a earlier game military unit when I get back into the game and see if they can do it.

Good to know about early military being able to clear predators, I hadn't tried to use military until the gunpowder age because my scouts were all off exploring. I wonder if it is related to the unit's age or era?

Bottom left of the screen when you select the unit in the build menu has icons for all the abilities it has. The hunt icon is the shield with the antlers.

Thanks for the tip.

I use 2 archers and a spearman to take out predators so my scouts can concentrate on exploring and picking up caches.

Yep, some military units can do it, but others can’t. Learned that the hard way when I sent some chariots to the remote reaches of my empire to kill a mountain lion.

Is it just me or do people not know how to use the Encarta within the game? Keybind F1. It tells you everything :)

As a wedge formation? A tiger killer them all.
