| Not sure if this belongs here, but on the settlers page where you build and send settlers, there's a line "Settlers already settling from any city in your empire" . It should be pretty self-explanatory. The thing is, this line only shows a value at the city where settlers are dispatched, while from other cities, it just shows a 0. So, is this a bug, or am I mistaking what the line implies? |

Very interesting.... I wonder also why settlers appear as diplomats on the main page.... Every time I think I am looking at a forgotten about mission when in fact its just my little settler wandering across the map. Should this just be left as a progress bar in the settlers page (like exodus)?

| Well how often does this come up anyway? Seems like an extremely minor issue. It's probably just unnecessarily difficult to keep all your cities displaying each other's settlers. |

| Yes, I agree that this is a minor issue. But still, I feel that it is a bug, and thus should be brought to the developers' notice. I'm just picky about stuff like that :D. |

| The max button doesn't work on that screen either but it too is another really minor thing. |

| I think it's better that the max button doesn't work for settlers. One could accidentally build 1200 settlers or something like that. Probably better to just enter a number. |

Thanks for the idea, Rill! I can think of no better use for 96,000 horses than to expand my territory. 4 days per settler, plus an additional settler per new city... it doesn't go very far, very fast, so I suppose it's a good thing I started making horses a.long.time.ago. Not to fret, I'm not really going to flood the continent with new towns, but it sure is a fascinating thought. Of course, Illyriad will only allow us to breed 10,00 horses at a time, without Prestige. |

| scorpivs, actually you can enter any number you want in the box; the "max" of 10,000 is not really the max; if you enter 25,000 in the box, it will build 25,000 (assuming you have the resources). I don't tend to do that; 10,000 of anything at one time is usually as many as I want to make. The max available is now shown greyed out in the box, which sort of makes the max button unnecessary, but I still like it. |

I'm no fan of the max button, after an unintended test with about 5K books. And months ago I've heard of a case where somebody built some thousands of unplanned chain mail, which should be ready now -- just in time to get a free blacksmith queue for crafting. OTOH I very often want to add or remove all available units of a given type, where an error would be no big issue. It would be very nice if they replace the dangerous max (production) by a harmless all (assignment) button.
