Settlers Civilization 2

Settlers Civ2

Settlers is a Civilization 2 Unit in MicroProse's TBS Game of 1996, Civilization 2. Settlers can found settlements, build roads and improve terrain.

Settlers can be found for free in "huts" as wandering nomads.

When positioned along Rivers, Settlers can move and then irrigate in the same turn.

With Leonardo's Worskhop, Settlers are auto-replaced by Engineers with the advent of Explosives.

When cities grew to a size where the resources were insufficient to adequately insure a decent standard of living for the populace, adventurous groups of citizens set out on their own in search of a place to build a new city. Once a suitable site was found, the settlers would build their new homes, and develop the land surrounding the city. Eventually, the whole process repeated, and the new city would send out settlers of its own. This process allowed civilizations to grow throughout history, from the empires of the ancient world to the discovery and settlement of the New World.
