Did you know this..I didn't
Having never had a reason to disband my capitol I just discovered your size 1 capitol will continue to build settlers and not disband.They do require support unfortunately

Yeah i found this out trying to prove something on a different message board....
Also, I believe that you cannot disband your only city. It just keeps pumping out settlers.

Does the one city keep giving you 'disband settler? or city? messages? And then just crank out a new settler without disbanding the city?

No, there is no message asking if you want to disband the city or build the settler. It just builds the settler, as if it were a size 2 and dropping to a size one. Of course we normally are not building settlers that early that our only city is a size one, but it's a good thing to know incase the need arises.Comment
-
so these settlers require support or are they none settlers ?????

Do you loose any food in the food box?
That can be a very interesting startegy for early growth if your capitol is producing a lot of shields you can pop settlers before it grows to size 2.Comment

ya no need to wait for size 2.No need to build a defender first(little risky but not much at the start).Gotta be able to use this advantageouslyThe only thing that matters to me in a MP game is getting a good ally.Nothing else is as important.......Xin YuComment

Just tried it in single player with MGE (UK version), worked like a charm.

Just checked - works as advertised on v2.42 - no warning just a settler supported from capital

This is an old trick which is very useful if you stumble into a lot of gold early or if you run into a civ that will pay you early tribute.
ICSers depend on it.Comment

this could explain why some people expand faster than others and then people complain about cheating

Yes for sure.If you are playing 2x production,tip a couple huts of gold,you got yourself 4 or 5 settlers pretty darn quick.The only thing that matters to me in a MP game is getting a good ally.Nothing else is as important.......Xin YuComment

This only works when you have 1 city. As soon as you have a 2nd city the capitol will be disbanded if still size 1 when building a new settler.
I guess the only use to this is in a non deity game when you have an iron or gold next to your capitol. You can then build your 1st settler even if your capitol is still size 1.Comment
