    Yes, cottages do rock and ANOTHER thing that automated workers love to do is to find the nearest cottage that's been nice brewing into a town and snap down another farm! NOOOO!!

      In the options (Ctrl-O) you can set it so auto workers will not change other improvements (version 1.09 for sure, possibly 1.00).

        THANK YOU!!!

        I just had a game where I had the workers on manual until I conquered the Chinese, and with 10 cities it was just way too much. As soon as I automated them they replaced fully developed towns with Farms! That city had 7 flood-plain squares and two grain resources, what were they thinking! It had all the food it needed!

        Man, I wish we had the fine-tuned control over the worker script like we did in SMAC. For me it would be no-replace & no-chops, with a hammer and commerce preference.

            the only time u should automate is "blazing" games, and hitting "n" after railroad.

              I automate automatically right now, I'm more concerned with city building, exploration and conquest, once I figure those out then I will start on tile improvements.

              ACK!

                What the hell is this SMAC I keep hearing about? I can't figure it out. It's not a civilization game, not alpha centauri, not colonization. What is it?


                Automated workers seem to build a lot of cottages by the way. I haven't seem them replace full towns with farms yet. It would indeed suck if they did such a thing.

                If you automate workers from the start I doubt they'll do that though. They'll just build a farm to begin with
