workers

[Freesmog]

How can I change the code to keep workers from building forts & keep them from building over my mana nodes?

 

[Exsequien]

Yeah, I hate that too. Or when they want to build a cottage in a spot where I already have a forest + sawmill.

It's simple - don't automate them.

You could remove

                <Build>
                    <BuildType>BUILD_FORT</BuildType>
                    <bBuild>1</bBuild>
                </Build>

from the unit's <Builds> in CIV4UnitInfos.xml


You could also remove all the </TerrainMakesValid> from the Fort's define in CIV4ImprovementDefines.xml

The easiest way would probably be to change <Type>BUILD_FORT</Type>'s <PrereqTech>TECH_CONSTRUCTION</PrereqTech> to <PrereqTech>TECH_NEVER</PrereqTech> in CIV4BuildInfos.xml



If you like, you could then add a spell to let a human player still create forts where he wants them without letting automated workers ever build them.

LOL, the game takes too long as it is, and the micromanaging part becomes very tedious.

Thank you for the help. Forts just never seem to make much difference, but having the human option in special circumstances is ideal.
