obi:
move a unit you don't need to the city that needs production.. then disband it. you get production directly towards what that city is building
my question: if you disband outside a city does the production go to the civ. or get lost?

You only get the production if you disband in the city. You get 50% of the production needed to build the unit in the first place.

It's called the Callings section. It's a pretty good story, although you should perhaps put more feeling in it, and hide the game-workings aspect of it (like stacks of nine - call them divisions, or armies) but mostly it's good.
ONE FAVOUR though...
PLEASE run the Replace tool in your editor and replace all the occurences of 'were' with 'was'. I know it's just a detail, but it's bothering me! :-)
Good luck with your game, I can't wait to see how it goes...

Re: grammar, the replacement of all incidences of 'were' with 'was' is incorrect. So don't do it! The few errors can be smoothed out when the story is proofread for the Callings section. The story is great!
I think that the 'game-workings' are good, it is what other players can relate to - they dream about 'stacks of nine', not divisions...
However these are just my opinions...

i'm with ed, most of the stories sent in are just that, stories. Nothing about the inner workings. I like the story just the way it is! (unless your not going to finish then your a crackhead).

Those are all the mistakes I could find at first glance. Indeed, there were quite a few which were right... :-)
Still, there were quite a few mistakes, which can get annoying in time...
:-)
Well, when I was playing wing commander, I dreamt about repetitive missions through asteroids, shooting hundreds of Kilrathi, etc... but I actually tried writing a story about it and it just is NOT interesting.
If you write this story and hide the game workings, you can get everyone to relate. If you show them, only hardcore ctp fans will relate...
Your choice!

"were".
This is an example of the subjunctive mood. "If I were a rich man..." not "If I was a rich man...."

Hi Deimar,
I just got here and started reading the story. It's very interesting and I learning lots of new stuff.
Please continue!
Anyone: I'm in the Diamond Age playing at the chieftain level. One of my competitors has been sending "infector" units. How do I get rid of them and cure the infected cities???

He He ghen, that's not nice!
For starters, you should make sure that you "can see em comeing"
Place lookouts, units who can see the infector, on strategic locations, on roads and such.
Enslave them all!!

PS I'm working hard at being able to get some time to play civ. Will be posting as soon as i can!

A undefeated Diety players story
Part four
All-out war
The attack on The Greek capitol of Athens was, despite successful, absolutely disastrous! The Greeks had obvious anticipated The attack, as this was The only city I could attack, not that it came as a surprise, but The amount of looses astounded me. I lost 3+ of my attacking size 9 armies to The Greek army on The walls of Athens. This effectively lead to a halt in my conquest of The Greeks as I dug in on The one tile now separating my nation and The Greeks. The war with The Greeks was reduced temporary to hit and run tactics while The wait for reinforcements to The Greek line initiated. I would dispatch half of The newly constructed units from this point in time to The Greek frontline, thus taking some of The upcoming momentum to The German campaign away, which were about to launch with 5 size 9 armies into The hearth of The German nation. The strategic situation with The Germans was allot better then The one with The Greeks. I was able to avoid The frontline city The Germans had close to my border. I sent more than half of my combined army around this city, penetrating deep into German territory, towards citys further behind, thus drawing defenders form The frontline city, and other citys to intercept these armies in order to prevent them from taking these less defended citys. The scattered German armies were easy prey, as my armies with minimal losses, slaughtered The German armies in The open on grassland. I almost head The spirit of The Germans crack, as The last of their notable armies was sent to rest on The grassland in The heart of their own nation. And with more units streaming continuously into The evermore decreasing German territory, I knew that The German nation soon would be a mere memory in The minds of my still growing German slave-population.
Gearing up yet again
As I discovered The technology of Gunpowder, I would now once again turn my attention towards The Greeks. I had 2 size 9 armies at The Greek border, which was making small advances into Greek territory, but I would wait awhile with a all-out attack, until I could cut their Pikemen down with musketeers.
Off cause I would make sure to be The one that was to build The emancipation act wonder, with all my slaves, that seemed as a very good idea! But that wasn’t worrying me very much, as I was The one, who were building all of The wonders at this time.
More to come...
Enslave them all!!

Thanks everybody for your great positive response and for your patience The last month.
I’m afraid that I cant post as often as I used to, because of The amount of work I have in my study of computer-science and English at The University.
But I will be playing and posting when ever I have some spare time!
Of cause I’m able to answer questions to The story more frequently, than I’m able to post The continuation of The story.
Thanks again
Enslave them all!!

As cool as usual :-)
I have one question though... are you playing with some sort of time-slowing mod...? I'm asking because I never ever have time to build so many units... I mean usually my whole army in the modern age is a few stacks that I casually drop near the ennemy's key cities to blitzkrieg them to death before making peace again for a while. Before modern age I just try to avoid war because I know I won't be able to build that many units :-)

ENSLAAAVE!!
War means SLAVES!! Slaves equals production-enhancement!! War is GOOD!!
It‘s because you don’t take every opportunity you get to enslave your enemy (or your friends  ), during The time frame in which this is possible (Emancipation act  ), that you are experiencing problems with ancient and pre-modern warfare.
If you from 4000bc continuously enslave everything and everybody, keeping 1 slaver with every stack of military-units, even those defending your citys, then your citys will be almost twice The size of your neighbors in no time.
This fact combined with a rational choice of city-sites and The research effort aimed towards boosting production, should provide more than adequate production rates in your citys, within a reasonable time-frame.
THEN GO KICK SOME AI ASS!!
ENSLAAAAAAAAAAVVVE!!!!!
By The way…I NEVER use any mods!
Enslave them all!!
