White Circles

[davideo]

The manual says there are supposed to be white circles on the city map showing where the workers are working. I don't see the white circles....do I have them turned off or are they just not in the game???

if u double click on ur city name u enter the city screen, at the start of ur game u should see a white circle around the tile that ur city is on but no others. as ur city population grows u will get more people to work the land within ur city borders and thus more white circles.. ie a pop of 5 will have 5 cirlcles... hope that solves ur problem...

As flippy said, but add one white circle for the city tile itself. So population 1 = two circles, pop 5 = six circles.

What is missing from the City Screen is something to indicate which tiles are being worked by other cities! It drives me crazy to try to jump back & forth to figure out which city is working what!
Please Firaxis! Fix this!

In previous Civs there were red circles on tiles being worked by other cities. It ought not to be too difficult to bring them back, and I devoutly wish "they" would do so.

If a tile is being worked (or is assigned) to another city it's greyed out in the city screen, so it still works the way it does in previous civs. The only differenc is if you click on the greyed out tile in a city screen it will immediately assign it to that city, instead of having to mess around in other city screens like you had to in previous civs.

I've been finding it hard to tell. I've seen a few times that an overlaping tile is not being used by either city, yet is grey in both city screens. Also if you pull a tile from a city, it doesn't re-direct that origional worker (in the other city) to work another tile, it makes him a specialist. Perhaps it'll re-assign him after a turn has passed, idk.

If there are two shades of grey in the city screen, I haven't noticed yet. I'll be sure to take a much closer look next game though

Overlapping tiles? You need to plan your cities better
