RESOURCE MAP
Immediately below the POPULATION ROSTER is a detail map showing all of
the discovered terrain squares within a city’s radius. The city square
itself is always under production. For each population point (each
citizen in the roster), you can work one additional square. The
maximum number of squares a city can work is the number of citizens
plus one or twenty-one, whichever is smaller. Note that it is possible to
have more citizens than there are squares to work.
Depending on the type of terrain in a map square, citizens working
there can produce food, production shields, and/or trade goods. Most
squares produce a combination of several resources. Clicking on any
square under production (except the city square, which remains
permanently under production) temporarily takes that citizen off work.
Click on an unoccupied square to put the citizen back to work in a new
place. You can move people from one square to another however you
wish to change the mix of resources the city is harvesting. Citizens removed from work are
temporarily converted into Specialists.
When the city population increases, each new citizen is automatically assigned an area
to develop. You might want to review the map of a city that has just increased in size to be
certain that workers have been placed as you wish.
PRODUCTION BOX
Below your FOOD STORAGE BOX is the PRODUCTION BOX. Any production
(shield icons) generated by your city each turn accumulates in this box.
The capacity of the PRODUCTION BOX changes to reflect the cost of the
unit, improvement, or Wonder currently under construction. When the
box is full, the item is complete. The box empties, and the new item is
ready for use. The item being built is noted at the top. The items
available for building depend on the advances your civilization
has achieved.
When the discovery of a new advance makes available a unit that
supercedes units currently being built, your production is automatically
upgraded to the new unit. If you are building a Wonder and another
civilization completes it before you can, you are reminded that you
must change production in that location.
