automatic area building

[HazieDaVampire]

anybody think we should have the ability to select an area of land, and what we want all of these selected squares to have built on them.
eg.
you press a button when you have a worker selected
select an area of land (say, a load of jungle)
then click on the clear jungle button and the worker goes along as fast as possible cutting down all of them trees in them squares!

i don't quite follow you. Could you elaborate somewhat please.

i.e queueing worker jobs?

[HazieDaVampire]

Select an area where you want a worker to do the same job over and over again in the selected squares, like tell it to automaticly cut down all the trees in this certain area!

Well, you can't pick an area, but you can tell them to cut down all forests in your lands, all jungles in your lands, connect up all cities and resources, etc. A lot of these options are already in the game.

[HazieDaVampire]

are they, what buttons?

Automate worker - A
- leave existing improvements - Shift-A
- this city only - Shift-I
- this city, leave existing imp. - Ctrl-Shift-I
- clean up pollution only - Shift-P
- clear forests only - Shift-F
- clear jungle only - Shift J

...and my favorite:

CTRL-N -- connect up all cities and resources

[dnassman]

Never knew about the CTRL-N. Always wanted that. Thanks.

not allways a good idea to connect all your resources though. once they are connected they can dissappear!!!
so the ones you don't really need, (at the moment at least) leave them be!!

I don't think that disappearence (or actually relocation) of resources is depending on them being connected or not. I am quite sure I have seen resources relocate without being "used".

Yes, I would really like that to be confirmed by Firaxis. Does anybody know of any official statement concerning disappearing resources and connections with roads?

This would be a simple experiment to set up in the editor. Maybe I'll try it tonight (lunch time at work).
