conscription question

Are you saying you can draft foreign citizens when they have the majority if you are in mobilization?

Actually, I didn't know that (regarding the majority of citizens requirements). I rarely use conscription, and my point went to requiring PEACE before you could switch back from mobilization. If you can't get peace, you can't build certain things....it can be a pain.

I'm not sure if this was part of your point, but you don't need to be mobilized to draft...

Don't any of you run into overgrown populations before sanitation?

Nope. I just build another worker or settler to improve tiles faster pre-Sanitation, or I redo the terrain improvements I have so there is no food surplus - I get more shields out of it that way.

yes same here.. once i get to city max size before hospitals, i just set them to build workers and settlers to continue my expansion ...

I must have really misread something awhile back. I thought you had to be mobilized to draft. I also just build settlers/workers when the cities hit maximum sizes. Thanks for the info...I may draft a bit more often now.

I feel draft-and-disband is an exploit, so I only draft for desperate defense. There's rarely a need for it.

i avoid exploits, i feel they are cheating ...

If you have the right government, conscripts make great garrisons for internal policing...
