A Question About Nationality of the Citizens.

[denizb]

In Civ 3,

for ex. I capture a Russian 4 size city. with 2 workers in it.
But workers are Russian workers.

So I can move these Russian workers any of my cities and with join city option, my city get some Russian Citizens.

Is this possible on Civ 4? After I capture a Spanish city, I want to move some of that Spanish citizens to my other cities. Is it possible?

Unfortunatly you cannot do this anymore. In Civ IV, citizen nationality is based on culture. So for ex. you capture a Spanish city, you will see in the city screen that 100% of the population is Spanish (it may be less depending on how close other nations are to this city.) After time, you will see that your culture will begin to spread and the figures may change from 100% Spanish to 80% Spanish, 20% your nation. Therefore, if you increase the cultural buildings in the city while you occupy it, you can increase your cultural percentage in the city faster.

Also, you cannot trade captured workers anymore either just to let you know.

Hope this helps a bit.

There's no option for workers to join a city in Civ 4 like there was in Civ 3. I kinda miss that too.

You just got yourself a couple of extra helpers.

What is nice though, if you have BTS, is that you can capture these workers and when you develop your colonies you can use them as workers to gift to your new ally.

The only way to get rid of their nationality (and anger at being conquered) is to completly wipe out the mother civ. Nonsensical? Yup, but that's how it goes.

Follow-up to this ... in a recent game, I captured Thebes from Egypt. The city was full of Culture buildings (World Wonders). After the period of resistance ends, will those buildings produce Culture for me? For Egypt? What?

 

[Algeroth]

Captured wonders don't produce culture. I'm not sure what happans, when a former owner take the city back, IMHO the culture is gone forever.

Huh. That stinks.
