Here's one I hadn't seen. Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

In the course of setting up the succession game, I needed to cheat/reveal map a few times to find out whether there were any AIs within contact range for the start I was testing.

While doing that, I noticed that when I revealed the map, the AI units had numbers on their shields - "1", "2" and "9" were the ones I noticed, along with the usual "-". Anyone know what that means?

It has to do with what the AI is using the units for, I have no idea what the numbers mean, but as any scenario creater who has playtested his own scenario will tell you, there does seem to be a system to it.
(ie units with certain numbers might all be headed to the same place, or might be headed for different places but later attack the same city, etc)

Enter the AD-FREE zone

I was speculating that 1=moving, 2=fortify, 9=some kind of settler function.

But those are guesses... It doesn't really matter, of course, but I thought it was interesting.

STYOM, I've seen this as well. I'm not sure which numbers correspond to which orders.
