I haven't had a settler in 17 turns... did you change the number???
I build the pyramids - did that kill my settler production?
Hi darski,
the production time for clans, that are autoproduced by the palace and can be upgraded for zero costs to the different settler units of the different civs, is 20 turns, as Moosezilla told you.
But there is one exception for the Egyptians due to a special programming of Firaxis for that civ. The Egypt AI in the first era always killed the clans even when that unit wasn´t allowed to be disbanded. If the clan had an attack point the Egypt AI even used this precious unit for attacking duties. Therefore I had to find a special solution for Egypt in CCM: For Egypt the palace doesn´t autoproduce clans, but Egypt has a special Small Wonder, the Sphinx, that is very cheap to build and autoproduces settlers for Egypt. Therefore, if you play as Egypt, you don´t receive clans from the palace.
If you build the Pyramides you receive an additional settler (that is always an Egyptian settler) every 30 turns.
darski, here I add something to the answer of ThERat to your question in the thread "CCM Heading to the Moon" (that can be found here:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=10507250#post10507250) as I think it could be of common interest.
Your question:
Help!! what do I have to do to use that supply caravan????
The answer:
send them to your capital, pick them up with a unit and you get 25gold each
The supply unit (that uses different graphics for the different eras) can be moved to the direction of your capital by itself, but it can be also be picked up by another one of your landunits and than escorted to your capital. For the last turn into your capital, the unit always must be escorted (picked up) by another one of your landunits, if you will be able to receive the 25 gold bonus that is provided by that unit.
If another landunit should pick up your supply unit, both units must be in the same tile and than a special button for this action is appearing on your interface.This button and the text for it is shown in the screenshot below. If you click on that button, the landunit holds the supplyunit and receives an exclamation mark in the units text. If your landunit is killed, before it was able to escort the supply unit into your capital, the supply unit is set free again, and can be picked up by every landunit of every civ. Please don´t forget, that you are also be able to capture supply units of other civs that way.
