Customizable Auto Workers

[Jerh9e1k5]

Hello everyone

I love Civ3 its great. The only part that I find very tedious is the micro managing. Therefore to solve this problem I suggest there be customizable auto workers in civ4. By this I mean when you click on auto for a worker a menu pops up and you can tell it to do certain things on certain types of land. For example: Mine grasslands, mountains, and hills, irrigate plains and desserts, chop down forests and plant forests in tundra. This way I could feel comfortable using the auto workers, I don't want irrigation on grasslands in despo!

Thank you

Some people don't want workers. Have you considered CTP's public works model?

The criticisms against PW so far have been:

- Where does it get paid from? In CTP, this is a slider which draws a % from industrial production. Gold could be used just as easily, and I'm open to other suggestions.

- No workers to enslave. I'd say that any PW under construction could be pillaged to result in a captured worker. Most sensible players keep workers in cities when not in use anyway.

- You can't build roads etc outside your borders with PW. I see this as an advantage. Although I would extend it so that you could pay for construction in allied territory, and that costruction in no man's land could be done at a surcharge that varies with distance from your nearest city.
