Who needs a pile of unused settlers? Do they cook??

they might be saving them up to smash into a city and make it really big fast.... or they might be waiting to grow some new cities fast and instead of starting off as 1, they want them all started at 5... who knows, besides the person running the game

Check this out - this dude's talking about the integrated defense and computers and the like, and I'm still working on ironclads.

That text box must be wired wrong, it pops up when I hover my pointer over ironclads.

Its a glitch in C3C when they removed the radio tech and was never fixed.

77 settlers

It's a bad habit of mine; when I'm re-settling for milking I'll spend ages reducing the populations of the towns I'm adandoning by rushing settlers, but instead of merging them into my specialist farms straight away, I tend to pile them up and then I spend a couple of monster turns adding them all in.

Can I safely assume you're having no problems with unit support costs?

I think he must have a few too many tax collectors .

I do that too, but with railroads....

Actually, I was paying 160 gpt in upkeep, but doing comfortable research:

Almost unrelated question: What resolution do you use?

Edit: 1920x1200, should have realized myself.

 

[Bartleby]

Yeah, gotta love keepres=1.

 

[choxorn]

If you built a city and joined all the settlers into it, it would be size 153!

 

[Mirc]

I know, I'm using it myself. At first it looked weird, but now it's much, much better.

Hey, that would be good to try in a scenario, make like 100 settlers and add them to a size 1 town. Or you could put 500 settlers. And turn them all into scientists. You'd only loose 1 pop a turn.

In C3C you can't add settlers workers to a town that is starving, unless it is rioting. Not sure if it was patched out of vanilla and PTW.
The exploit was known as "worker dogpile" and was banned from GotM & HoF.

 

[Aceman101]

Ok. I never actually tried it so I didn't know.

Oh my gosh, what's that? A zillion white dots? Are you milking the Milky Way?

Yeah, gotta love keepres=1.

And "keepres=1" means...?

 

[Aceman101]

He's simply colonizing the earth. And transforming the population into one superior race.

From my memory, it was impossible in C3 1.29f.

If you add that line to your civ.ini file, the game will display in your desktop resolution, if it is higher that 1024 x 768. Hence my screenshot is 1900 x 1200, which is why I put it inside a spoiler.

Yes, that's definitely what I'd call NO PROBLEM with unit support.
