I further notice that no unit uses the "foodhunger" flag. Might one set this to a negative number to simulate the nomad in the field returning food to the host empire?

	Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Sounds good
The ctp settler sprite looks more like a nomad than the ctp2 settler does though.
Does it work though...that is the question

	Inflate your Upload Space

Well, when you build anything of type: "has pop and can build", it appears to build another city of size 0 on top of the city that built it. Unfortunately, I was unable to get this city to move.

My guess is that the nomads killed and ate all the inhabitants of my capotol before fleeing back into the hills.
