I have a city that is multi-national. Womeone wrote that if you want to build a worker or a settler, you could choose your population unit or units that will be forfeited to build the worker or settler. In my case I want it to be a foreign national population unit. I do not know how to choose it. Does anyone know how? I have tried to take the population unit off of a production square but it did not pick it it picked a population that was of my nationality.
How do you select the population unit to pull for a worker?

I have not heard of that. AFAIK the worker or settler is determined by the percentage of each culture type in that town.

i'm not sure about it, but nationals should be pulled out first.

I believe that when building workers and settlers, the most recently added pop points are used.
If you are starving cities, there's a small chance that a foreign national might die.

Well, unless they are ALL foreign nationals.
I've always found that if there is a native citizen available, a worker build will always create a native worker (which seems to agree with what Bartleby is saying). Never paid much attention to settlers, though.

^ That's my experience too, and I'm pretty hardcore about enslaving my entire foreign population.

2 nights ago, i captured a 9 pop Rome. right after that , everyone got unhappy.... I slapped the citizen to give me a settler. The one that come out is called a Barbarian Settler ?!?

I think a mixture in the two pop gives a banarian, one native and one roman,

If the Maya had ever owned Rome, they may have added barbarian workers.
I don't think so, or I'd have seen a lot of barbarian settlers. Plus, if it works this way, tR1cKy's Save the Mongols game (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=222020) is doomed. He has done some testing about which nationality the settler is.
Were there any units that enslave in the game? Enslaving a barb gives barbarian workers, which can be joined to cities and then give barbarian settlers, but I've never seen the AI join workers to cities.

I have seen barbarian settlers (definately on vanilla), this happened when I rushed a settler in a captured city that had grown.
You get barbarian settlers and workers in Vanilla all the time. You also get the crazy 'symbol' type settlers in Vanilla after a civ is destroyed. After a while the game (Vanilla) either forgets or stops tracking the true nationality of workers/settler from 'lost' civs and they all just become barbarians/symbols. Although I hadn't really paid attention to it, I thought I got barbarian settlers if the city (in Vanilla) was producing the settler from citizens of a nationality that had been destroyed.
This stopped in PTW but is back again in C3C. I didn't realize it was because of the Mayans, but that makes sense. I thought it was from a worker popped for a GH or something.

My testing was specific to what happens if cause your city to be auto-abandoned in the interturn by producing a settler while the city is size 2 with zero growth, so it does not necessarly applies here.
What i've seen happening is that if the city has one native and one foreigner, the produced settler will be a foreigner (it 'absorbs' the native). But i don't know what happens if you produce a settler the normal way, in a city size 3 or more with both natives and foreigners, though i suspect that the produced settler is a native and native pop units are popped out first.
EDIT: moreover, my testing was specific to the PTW version. For what i know, C3C may be a different story.
