Workers of the World!

Are you sure? I just copied the Firaxis worker and I must say that were I to wield a pick-axe I would do it in that way, I think. But I never have, so who knows? My girlfriend holds the knife and fork in the wrong hands for no good reason that I can tell.
Glad you like them, Azmorg. I hope to have some more up within the next few days.

You leave her alone. I hold the knife and fork the "wrong" way round and can't seem to use them the "right" way round. I think it was a form of rebellion in my early days as I was initially left handed, but the pen was forced into my right hand.
The amazon worker has become an Iceni worker in the mod
. I'm looking forward to your other additions. What has been great with these different workers, as well as them looking like the region they're intended for, is that I've been able to set different "strength" levels for each civ, depending on their other advantages/disadvantages in the mod.

Plontios? *adds one to the list, beneath Plontodendron*
I`m lefthanded, if thats what you people are talking about (never heard the term southpawn). Tons and tons of famous and talented people in history were lefties. I`m proud of it. I taught myself to write (like Tarzan!) before school (I started out drawing the letters), so I told the teacher to bugger off. Of course, my handwritting is horrible, but I`ve seen worse

What possible need can there be for a Theologian to use a pick? Unless seeking to dig out the nature of divinity or excavate the archeology of religious history?
I'll look forward to the new workers you mentioned. Are there any settlers or an arabic worker amongst them?
Stormy - I've never noticed your handwriting being horrible on the forum.

Kinda late reply, but this issue of second-on-the-list confused me a bit... since none of my mods have workers in second slot, and there are no trading issues that I know of. The tradeable unit is the unit that is set as "captured unit" under general settings. Looking at the tutorial from 2005 it looks like a misunderstanding (because in an otherwise unmodded civ3 game, second unit on the list is also the captured unit, but you can change it).
The term is "southpaw" and it is American slang for a left-handed person.
Embryodead, I really think you're wrong, and that the second unit on the list is the tradeable one, not the one tagged as "capturable". At any rate, that's how I've changed the tradeable one in mods, by changing which one is second in the list. But maybe the method you mention is an alternative one?
There aren't any settlers among the new units - I will be posting those in a separate thread at some point - but there is an Arabian Worker among them. And an absolute bugger he has been to make, too.

Well, not so much an alternative - it's just a coincidence that by default, the second unit on the list is also set as Captured Unit, so by changing it, you also change the Captured Unit entry. From other mods, I've just checked EFZI2 - the Supply Parcel is like 20th on the list, but set as Captured Unit - and it's tradeable.
That's the one I've been waiting the most!

Ahhhh so it isnt actually the position in the cue it is whatever unit is marked as captured unit. That is very interesting news,

One of the first feats that I take when playing as a rogue in Neverwinter Nights.Sorry, probably not - merely ambidextrous.

Very useful. I tried to train myself to use the left hand once - it was actually easier than I thought.Experiment - everyone who's right handed - try writing with your left hand for 10 minutes a day for a month and see how well you're doing. I wager that your left handed writing will at least be legible.

To penetrate the thick skulls of those advocating heterodox cosmogonies of course.
Quite a crude, and probably offensive joke, eh? Even if it was said with a light-hearted intention.
As a left-handed person I'd like to point out that things like "southpaw" or "I use the fork in the wrong hand" are considered by many of us to be as repulsive as racist remarks that I won't repeat. That they are quotidian and ubiquitous is no exoneration. In everyday speech in English we don't usually say "that's correct" or "is that all the ice cream that remains?" And the alternatives hurt, even if we have been struck so often that we no longer notice. Ask any of our French-speakers what "gauche" means, or let those who speak Latin tell us about the real meaning of "dexterous" and "sinister". They are not isolated examples, either.
I once wrote a paper for a graduate course pointing out the difference (several percentage points) between the proportion of the population in the US born left-handed vs. those still left-handed as adults. In the 21st century west any ethnic group that forcibly lost members through the efforts of a whole society would soon revolt. Aside from the experiences of those like my grandfather, who had his left arm tied to his side in school, or those of us who have had our hands repeatedly slapped or beaten, there are many subtler prejudices. I had to teach myself to write, and to tie my shoes, without adult help, because they baldly said "I can't do it the way you do."
In my short paper, for which I did only three days' research, I was able to identify well over 150 common items that are designed for right-handed use. This includes everything from steak knives and spiral-bound notebooks to computer mice and keyboards. If you don't believe me about that last one look where the numeric keypad is located. Image the outrage if ATM touchscreens or commodes were designed to be more awkward for Christians than for Muslims.
I know that there are going to be some left-handed members here who will apologetically describe my position as extreme. Poor unfortunates! As Paolo Frere has pointed out in Pedagogy of the Oppressed, the ultimate oppression is to so inculcate the system of dominance that the oppressed carry the now invisible oppressor within themselves.
