	strong slaves weak workers Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

In Cradle I always find that after a few plagues my cities no longer have workers. Does this mean that plagues always kill the workers before the slaves? if so why?

I can't confirm it but it's quite possible. Why? Well, SLIC just works that way, the programmer has no control over it. It could be fixed though by first killing of a random number of pop (between 1 and n-1, where n is the size the city should have after the plague strikes) and then creating enough pop to get it to the right size again. If in this case a size 10 city is reduced to size 7, the city might first be resized to 2 (and all but 2 slaves would be killed) and then 5 new workers would be created. Requires some extra coding, but it's not particularly hard to do.
