Weird worker

Look at the nationality of the worker in the attached screenshot.
An alien visitor?

Ive had that happen a few times also. What I have found cleans it up was simply going to the next turn as it then refreshes the screen.

Alien race, I though they mentioned there were no aliens in the game

Just a side note to the pic:

Maybe they should move the "golden age" text. It looks kinda strange to be almost out of the borders

Talking of worker weirdness - I once had a Mech Infantry unit fortified in a city that killed every worker that walked by.

I'm afraid to start a thread about it in case people start calling me a delusional madman - but it definitely happened

It happends to me whenever I build a worker/settler in a city just captured that is not converted to my nation.

I think its stranger that the zulu workers are white.

You're right. I've had this before. Maybe it's the resolution (1152*864).

I got one of these by reducing a culture-captured city down and then building a Worker when it was size one, it gives the option to abandon the city and leaves the Worker behind. Strangely it appears as a Barbarian Worker elsewhere and cannot join any of my cities.

I got this one from a culture capture city too.
It also showed up as Barbarian when right-clicking. But it could join a city. Another bug...

Exact same thing happened to me, but I had no idea where it came from. But it is most definately from when you erase a city by making a worker, I remember doing that to an English city who's placement by the AI didn't jive with the rest of my empire. Glad to know what finally happened there. I's listed as Barbarian worker under the military adviser screen, and I was trying to think about how I could possibly have captured a barbarian worker.
