Anyone set up a slave trade before? - Page 2

I'm impressed that you have 'em celebrating WLT*D. We're talking 520+ happy citizens. I have a hard time keeping 10 happy!
Or is it the 5 happy ones from the previous turn that forgot to put put the fireworks?

Thanks Gramphos, can't wait to see the first size 2147483647 city

Does your Civ3CopyTool have the ability to change city sizes?

Purest Warrior.. Those are leftover fireworks from the previous turn sadly. The city was size 14 with all 14 happy (8 luxuries, marketplace, 20% luxury rate). With any population over 40 there is no chance for WLTKD, as the entertainers will outnumber the workers.

I'm curious to know what the city screen looks like with such a big city. Can you actually turn all those extra citizens into scientists/taxmen? It's funny to think that there isn't enough turns in the game for a city like that to starve down to a manageabe level.

I would have thought unsigned, since you can't have a negative number of people in a city (coding like this is soo silly).

How do you sell workers anyhow? Do you need to have them in your capital or something? I never sell workers, they're too valuable. But it may be a good idea later in the game when you have too many workers and big cities and no money!

DrFell · February 14, 2002, 11:43

Yep, they must be in the cap. I buy any workers I can off the AI early on (pop rushing), I'm not sure if selling spares later would be useful or not.

make sure your workers are in you r capital, and then talk to an ai. they'll be offered in the screen.

i think it would be cool if after a war you could demand your captured workers be returned to you.

Yeah, I thought of that, as well. Like an exchange of POWs.

Anyway, there are to few things you can offer in a negotiation. In Civ2 you were able to give units away, right? What happened to that?

You have to give away workers, and hope that the AI is smart enough to add them to a city, then conscript a military unit.

I liked that feature.

Yeah, many an ally owed its existence to steady shipments of mechanized infantry from my factories.
