Wierd City bug.

[akulla]

Has anyone else seen this problem. I had a city that was loosing population, and I forgot about it and somehow it got down to size 1. In the city view there is an artist specialist selected, I unselected it so I can add the pop. to increase city sized again, however everytime I click next turn it reverts to selecting the Artist by itself and the city is not growing.

Anyone seen this or something simalar, and how to fix.

Is there a tech or wonder that gives each city a free great artist, or a free specialist and you only have artist available for him to be? How much food is the city producing?

There's Mercantilism giving a free specialist, and there's the Liberty statue giving a free specialist

If you have forced a specialist you need to unforce him by clicking the minus sign before assigning him to work. Else if you leave the city screen and reenter he will be moved back as the specialist. I had this problem before when I had the caste system and forced artists with new cities to get them to expand.

So if he isn't a free specialist like the others have mentioned but a citizen you have forced into a specialist role be sure to unforce him before putting him back to work.

There's a bug going on regarding this. To stop the AI from adding the artist, turn off citizen automation. You should be able to remove the specialist and keep him removed. Firaxis is aware of this, so it should only be a temporary problem, until the next patch.

Thx, I figured there was a problem.

Artists need to be starving or you don't get the culture points
