Units disappearing

[Elite]

Alright, so, I'm making a new scenario and it's JUST a Combat scenario, so I'd like to avoid cities, but when I defeat the first unit placed down(or I lose my first unit) all my units(or all of their units) seem to disappear as if defeat happens.

How do I stop this from happening?

Give each tribe a capital city.

Normally no city= no units. However if you give each side a settler as long as the settler lives the units will also even without a city.It has happened in games I have played. I think the editor also has a setting that prevents them from building a city. Hope this helps.

To avoid this I use to create a tiny "island" in a corner of the the map, for each civ I play with. In each isolated terrain I put the capital for one civ, so nobody can't conquer it.

According to Plotinus:

In this scenario, therefore, Beta Israel begin with some very powerful units right in the middle of the Ethiopian heartlands – but they have NO cities and NO settlers. When this happens, a civilisation follows slightly different rules from usual. It will survive from turn to turn even with no population, but only as long as it doesn’t lose a unit. The moment a unit is lost, the game is over. But if the civilisation succeeds in capturing an enemy city, this becomes the new capital and it reverts to “standard” rules.

Can I disallow production? like now allow the cities to produce anything?

If you make it so that you can't build cities on any of the terrain and give everyone a settler, that should do the trick.

No shields = no production. Set the terrain to not yield any shields & cities will not be able to build anything.

I'll set to no production, and also giving everyone a Settler fixed the instant death problem, thanks.
