Settler

You might say: colony ship, settling unit

A unit that founds a new city or colony where it stops.

What it does

Is the price of expansion: what the empire gives up now for a city later.

Ask

What else could this production or population have bought?

Trouble

Settlers so cheap that sprawl always wins, or so dear that the map stays empty.

What to look for

1. A unit with a Found City action
2. A cost in production, food or population
