For a few of my scenarios, I wish to limit the availability of workers. Naturally, the easiest way to do this would be to make a small wonder or an improvement requiring the palace to produce workers, and not let them be built manually.
But what I also want to do is make the workers civ-specific and to have upgrade lines. On the face of it, this would require 1 of said improvements/small wonders per civ per unit. Which wastes a lot of those cherished improvement/wonder slots!
To get around this, I was thinking of doing this:
1. Only one main improvement, requires the palace, produces immobile terraform unit which upgrades to the respective civ-specific lines
2. The worker units aren't king units (so they can still be captured). They require more population to build than is physically possible to achieve in the scenario. This would pose problems of its own, but:
3. Set all civ's "Build None" preference to include workers.
Due to #3, this would mean they do not build workers ever. What I want to know is would this also stop them upgrading to such units? And is there something I might be missing with this format?
