  • Settler Capture

    Hiawatha captured Berlin and found a German settler huddling inside. I captured the last German city - destroyed the civ. I then used the German settler to start an Iroquois city. In the old game, I don't recall capturing a settler in a town, but when one was captured on the road, it was converted into 2 workers. I didn't see this change in any documents. Did I miss it or is this a surprise?

      That's a new one on me. Usually settlers get converted to two workers. Never saw any other result.

          Ok we all agree. Nothing was mention about any change to this that I read in manual or readme.

            I smell a bug. I have captured cities with settlers in PTW. Converted to 2 workers.

            Anyone else? When, how, and under what conditions?

              Settler bug?

              That's a bug I'll look forward to experiencing.

                They've always been converted to 2 workers for me. I capture settlers all the time and they have never meerely "come over."

                  Ok, it just happened to me as Ottomen and capture a Zulu city with a settler and a worker. When I looked at teh city, it now has three workers. NO settler.

                      Exactly vmxa1, I too have never captured settlers - they have always been converted to workers - whether I capture them in the open or in a city.

                        Could this be associated with finding a settler in the LAST city of a civ?

                          Maybe, but will be hard to repeat.

                            Are you sure that that settler wasn't being built when you captured the city? Maybe it got produced right away or something...maybe...

                              can it do that? i dont think stuff from one owner carries on to the next
                              then if the other guy rushed a temple, i'd get it
                              i'd like that, but i don't think it's likely
