Can't lock citizen

[Silent137]

Sometimes the game will not let me lock a citizen inside of a town. If I attempt to do so, it returns either the citizen using that space to unlocked or it will lock that one and unlock another. Any idea how to fix that?

I am pretty sure that you can have only one "civil" unit in a town. The only unit that you can have multiples of are air units.

So a town can have one civil unit and one military unit, but multiple air units. Air units cannot exist outside of a town or an appropriate sea unit, but you can keep as many as can be supported in a town.

Helicoptor Gun Ships are not really air units they are military units that look like an air unit. They can enter mountain terrain though which no other civil or military unit can do.

Check that you haven't got one of the citizen management options on, when I had trouble that siunded similar to this that was the cause for me.

Weird, my locks stay locked unless I click on the city circle or I click the lock again. The one I hate is when I try to stop working tiles without production to gain unemployed citizens for more production, but the next turn, they are out working the tiles again.

I have this problem. As far as I can tell the clicks on the workers DO actually work, but some performance or rendering bug stops them showing. The fix I've found is to leave the city with the "return to map" button, then reopen it, then the changes you made actually show. What a pain though! Not sure if it's a Civ bug or a Windows 7 problem.
