Can I queue up the tasks for workers?

[aerohoff]

I searched and didn't find it but I'm sure someone will very quickly tell me how easy it was for them to find. Checked the manual too.

How do I tell a worker to do a list of things like (road to, build mine, road to, build farm) as I did in civ4 with the shift key?
There has to still be a way right?

If there is a way, I haven't found it. I'd sure like that ability.

 

[crag]

You can't.

I know, I know - STUPID!

Well maybe that's why I couldn't find it hitting random buttons. Hopefully they'll put it back in with the next patch.

Did Civ IV have that feature?

Cause it seems like a no-brainer thing to have. It's annoying to have to micro-manage workers every turn.

yeah in civ 4 you just hold shift and tell the worker to do 20 things and he'll go do them.

Maybe they didn't bother because they fixed automated workers. I haven't tried automating my civ5 workers yet but in civ4 they were ********. They would build forts on your resources and chop forests and generally screw things up.
