Usually I don't post my gripes about a game, I see way too much of it in the forums already. I either accept whatever annoyance and play anyhow, or I just sell the game. I find it's a little different with Civ3, because it really is a great game and I want to keep playing, but there's just ONE thing that I really can't live with and I'm posting it in hopes developers will see it and think about it.
I DO NOT want to spend 2 minutes each turn watching my workers scurry around doing whatever it is they're doing (it's not like I can tell if they building a mine vs irrigating or whatever anyhow). It's why I automated them in the first place - I don't even want to deal with them. Can you imagine Joan of Arc being handed a 50 foot long scroll every day detailing exactly what each peasant in the kingdom did each day?!?
And you would think that unchecking a preference labeled 'Show automated moves' might do something as intuitive as not showing automated worker moves. What does this option do anyhow?
That's about it, but as long as I'm here...
I realize everyone has something they'd like to see added, well, here's mine:
It would be nice if there was a way to control automated workers, sort of like the governors screen. Something like:
Automated Workers
Irrigate: Yes/No
Build Roads: Yes/No
Clear Forests: Yes/No
etc - including all the things workers do.
I've seen posts that say automates irrigate too much and others that say mine too much. With such a menu, a player could easily manually build all the mines they want, then tell the workers not too build anymore.
Thanks for reading my gripe.
