Turns get too long and tedious I find, as the shooting units have to be told one by one where and when to shoot.
WARNING! Clicking "b" to bombard with prospectors causes them to join city.
I just lost 3 prospectors on my first turn before I figured out what was happening.
I'm going to remove the option to join cities for prospectors since there is no "undo" button in civ and I hate loading a save just to redo one action. And using the bombard key is kind of important in this scenario.
Nwoll... Yes, that Key affects the Prospectors because they can join the population of a building. Because the Prospectors can Bombard=Lethal Shoot, the "B" Key is also the Keyboard Shortcut Key to join a Building. The Game automatically uses the "B" Keyboard Shortcut Key to join a population even if the unit has the Bombardment ability... If the prospectors were not able to join the population, they would not be affected by the same "B" Command Key.WARNING! Clicking "b" to bombard with prospectors causes them to join city.
You get that option once you have research Guns, Guns, Guns. You also get MPP mutual protection ptcs and alliances against an opponent.
Check the 'pedia.A small question: are the zombies supposed to be able to build Camp Paradise?

If the Join Flag was removed from Prospectors, Only the Human Player could use them for Worker Actions such as irrigation. The AI must have the Join Flag to use worker actions to Terraform.
The reason Prospectors require one population to build is to help limit them. Zeb's Farm and the Coffee Plantation produce Mass Food and population growth when irrigated.
... Yes, it is best to use the mouse and Game Keys on the Game Screen for Lethal Shooting rather than the "B" Keyboard Shortcut Key, at least for Prospectors. Prospectors are the only unit affected by this because they can Lethal Shoot, Join the population and Terraform.
...No way to solve this other than removing either Terraform or Lethal Bombardment... or simply Un-Flag "Join City" for them so ONLY the Human Player could use their Worker Abilities. The AI is intended to have all of the Prospector abilities.
Automate bombard will also destroy any improvements before it stops. Cutting off a road to a valuable resource that you have spent a lot of time & units to build can be frustrating.Also, I would probably use automate bombard to get past the long turn times. But when you pick a new target though, I think you have to do it manually for all of them again.
