Cities prefer their specialists?

[Lockwood]

I've got the automatic people option disabled.
I seem to be spending each turn going through every city I have and removing priests and merchants in order to stop the cities from starving.
By the time I've gone round all my cities, the first one has already reestablished its old regime.

Is this normal?

I have the same problem.

I forgot about this. Yay for email notifications.

I found out the problem, the cities were both trying to access the same tiles, so I was trying to have both cities use the same food source.

automatic people? Do you mean specialists? could you post a screenshot? And even if it is a bit late: Welcome to CFC
Edit: D'Oh should read the title as well
Do you have the city governor on?
