If i were to make a improvement, that spawns workers, on one continent and made it impossible to improve would the AI ship units to the other continent.

A novel question. :) I suspect that the AI would ship units just as it usually does. (Or, as a friend once quipped, "I've never seen AI, but I have seen VAI - 'Very Artificial Intelligence'.")

The only way to be sure is to test it, but from my experience, the AI never transports workers. I have a scenario with plenty of small islands, and the AI builds workers even on 1x1 tile isles and just keeps them there, while mainland could use that workforce.

I wonder if it would work if you gave them airlift, or maybe re-base?

Unless you changed the worker in the editor it allready has the airlift and load flags. Re-base is only available to air units.

You can give it the rebase flag I'll try this. But I think I have a better work aroun.

Sure you can check that box but it wont do anything other than confuse the AI since it is in the air missions section and any unit that isnt marked as air cannot use those actions. Basically in order to have rebase you have to have a unit that is immobile so I dont see how that would do any good.

Land and sea-units can use these "airflags" too, even the rebase flag. About a confusion for the AI, I haven´t tested it with the rebase flag. But I made tests with another flag with astonishing results about the use by the AI (but at present I don´t want to make this more public as here first some other things must be cleared).

Re-Base (Air Missions)
If checked, the selected air unit can execute a re-base mission (select a new city as a base of operations).

Never trust the editor manual ;) It works and has been used in a couple mods (WH,TAM,RFRE etc.)
(I doubt it'll work with workers though, for the same reason it doesn't seem to work with normal transport).

Why limit yourself in the first place? If your intent is to ensure you have workers on every landmass with your cities, you could make an improvement like Graneries produce workers. It doesn't have to be a Wonder.

That just wouldn't fit. But is a good idea. My goal is to have workers on one continent in particular.

Are you trying to simulate the slave trade? It's a good question. I doubt the Artificial Idiot will transport workers by any other means, if it won't conventionally.

Umm. Maybe.
