4 Questions

[lostkiwi]

4 questions I have after just reaching the Renaissance in my first game:

- Can you differentiate your workers on auto-work?
I set a worker to auto to see how well it did compared to Civ IV... then lost track of it and now I have no clue where it is. Any distinguishable difference looking at the map between automated units and regular... or do I have to go through all my workers one by one until I find it?

- How do you hurry production??
I know how to buy a unit or building... but what about just hurrying whatever I am currently building? Where do you click for that?

- No around the world bonus?
My Caravel circled the world and no +1 movement bonus Does it however allow all your units to go through ocean squares?... or is that simply happening by discovering (the tech giving the caravel, I cant remember the name right now)

- Will city states get gobbled up?
All the city states I haven't conquered or puppetized are on the coast so I haven't surrounded one with my culture yet... but will it reach a point where it will become yours or it will always stay a city state regardless of how much culture you have surrounding it?

I believe auto units are "greyed out" and your workers flags are solid.

Click the PURCHASE button in the city screen. A list of all the things you can buy shows up with prices next to them. You cannot buy a unit if you already have a unit in the city (kind of dumb) and you can't select something that you do not have enough money for.

- No around the world bonus?
My Caravel circled the world and no +1 movement bonus Does it however allow all your units to go through ocean squares?... or is that simply happening by discovering (the tech giving the caravel, I cant remember the name right now)

Probably not an issue anymore since units turn into ships.

- Will city states get gobbled up?

Don't attach a bunch of city states... you get labeled as a blood-thirsty tyrant. I don't think you can gobble them up with culture. You can't buy the land within their borders.

How about this question?

- How do you hurry production??

Is it possible?

- Can you differentiate your workers on auto-work?

nope.

- How do you hurry production??

hurrying production is out. buy or build.

- No around the world bonus?

none that I have discovered. It seems they're not into little fun affectations anymore. WAR WAR WAR!

- Will city states get gobbled up?

culture doesn't flip any cities anymore so nope.

Thank you... Some many things have been streamlined or removed that I am not sure being an avid Civ IV player means anything... You really have to view it as a completely different game.

and WAR WAR WAR! seems to be right... After clearing out Arabia from my continent which was a fun conquest, I decided to go for a pacifist victory (tech/space race most probably) and that is extremely slow going and boring so far: takes forever to build buildings, very little strategy involved in what the workers should improve... diplomacy one dimensional... I am just plowing through turns until I can start building my spaceship while trickling in a unit here and there to dissuade the AI from the other continent to declare war.
