	No Settlers Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Some ppl say 7 civs aint enough-ok fine. 10will do for me, not much diff...
BUT even if i was like Roman, that would mean nothing to me SINCE:
A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT At first, i was outvoted that for improving terrain you needed to remove a population from a city(at least they cant settle so i dont have the temptation) now the co. is telling me settlers remove 2 pop!!! THIS IS ABSURD ... if they build cityes with 2 pop-fine if they build cities with improvements-fine but WHY, i repeat: WHY did they do that? to have something to protect doesn't seem like a fair reeason 2me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. dont we have our whole civ already??? so what FIRAXIS are saying:

"Let them take your cities, just leave the settlers alone"

I PROTEST once again! if they fix the nuke and everything else is better than i've seen before, fine they can have my money for the game, otherwise: Dont hope for it!

That is what i posted in the original topic...
But really, I think its rediculous.

The settlers may cost 2 population but they are putting a worker unit in to do all the roads, irragation, mining, etc, and they will probably cost one population, if any at all.

*sigh* read up on the literature, mate. The settlers will remove two units, yes, but all they do is found new cities. The improvement work is done by a new unit type, the workers.

	Increase Your PM Length

Im going to have to change my strategy. In civ2, every city Id build, would first build a settler to go and build another city until the year 1500 or so. Now, its going to take longer. Oh well. I guesse its to prevent ICS

Its okay to smile; you're in America now

	Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Hahaha. This is funny. I really can't understand whats negative about removing 2 pop, only whats positive. Maybe you have to build a couple of soldiers before u can build a settlers. Then there is smaller chance that any civilizations will get eliminated in the beginning of the game. This is GREATE. Then we can argue against the ppl who wanted 10 civs in the game, becouse they very often said that 2-3 nations get eliminated in the beginning. Now we anyways end up with 7 nations .... later in the game also.... atleast this is how I see it.

What about closing this thread MarkG or DanQ?
