That's a no-brainer p = 1 of course!!!

No-no-no!

That feature is far too stupid.

[The ANZAC]

No, AI is too stupid. The go-to command is already bad enough

I once saw an automated settler irrigate a spice becouse the size 3 city only had 6 irrigated grasslands to choose from

so no, never, even if I have to move those 100 engineers

No way (except maybe on a one-city, no-special island). The worst -- and this is where I learned my lesson -- is when you have a whole army of automated settlers/engineers late in the game, and a square gets polluted; 40 guys drop what they're doing, hope a train, and travel halfway across the continent to take care of it.

Only once in a blue moon. Never in MP, but every now an then in SP i'll try for the for irrigation in the middle of nowhere. But since about 50% of the time the settler just moves off, I've kind of stop even trying.

It takes an army to clean up messes!!! LOLOL

I have to teach my settlers how to "hope" a train.
Maybe it would save some research.

Otherwise, they tend to do dumb things like cut down irrigated forests, or destroy silkworm habitats, when automated. Usually the risk of wasted settler actions is too high to automate them.

Yes, the automated settler is dumb, but what is cutting down irrigated forrests

[Space05us]

I never use it. it's the same thing as cheating because if you do it in the MFN it can still irrigate.

A symptom of inadequate proofreading!

I think I either meant to say 'irrigating forests', or 'cutting down rivered forests'... but you get my point...

(automated settlers think silk on a river would make a nice plain... mmmm, buffalo steak, he thinks... )
