Can't set owning city for workers

Post by Frostblade »

Setting owning city for military units works fine but for workers it doesn't, why not?

This makes it inconvenient to move workers between cities and set new home for them, e.g. if you want one worker per city.

Which ruleset? Which freeciv version?

The default civ2civ3 ruleset has nothing preventing specifically Worker rehoming, but accidental homing of previously completely unhomed units (such as initial starting units) except diplomats is prevented. You don't want to turn units that are free of any upkeep (not pulling upkeep from any city) to start consuming upkeep.

Yeah it was starting units it appears, I just tried again with a homed worker and got option to re-home it in another city.

Sorry for not telling, I'm using latest version 3.2.1 civ2civ3 ruleset, I'll make sure to provide details next time I ask a question.
