This MODCOMP adds three new settler units with special abilities, Colonist, Pioneer, and the Architect. The Colonist comes with Optics. Instead of it building a 1 population city with no buildings it starts with 2 pop and has buildings in it. The Pioneer comes with Economics and the city starts with 3 pop and several buildings. The Architect builds a 1 pop city and has tons of buildings. Enjoy! :thumbsup:

Very good idea! I always thought it was a bit strange that cities founded in later eras got no buildings to start with.

Thanks. I'm not sure if the techs the settler units come with are accurate but if you have any input please post it.

Hmmm, this is a very interesting idea indeed. I'm definitely going to give it a try. I think that with the right cost, this could still be balanced but make late era expansion a bit easier.

Does the AI know how to get use of this?

Very nice :) As Caesium asked: does the AI use it too?

Yes the AI use them. :)

nice idea, can you update it for BtS too?

maybe it's also useful to combine it with the settler-religion (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=145729) ;)

I'm planing on getting BtS tonight so I'll probably update all of my MOD COMPs soon.

When it comes to BtS, pay attention that the game already features ethnically diverse units, to some extent. Extending that to this mod would be fab.
