    Default auto unit building?

    Hi

    I have MTW gold v2.01, and I have a big problem.

    I find that my castles etc are building units on their own. There's no unit icon showing in the unit-build window, and nothing no units are pending, but after every turn I find a random new unit built at my settlements.

    I cant find any mention of an auto-build function in the menu, so is this a bug? Does anybody else get this, and is there a fix?

    Cheers

    ps - i'm playing with normal difficulty.

    This feature is probably set in your minimap campaign options. On the right side of your minimap in the campaign screen, there is a grey bar with an arrow in it. Click that, and it will show a list of checkboxes for various campaign options. Depending on how much of a micromanager you are, you can turn off most of them.

    Here's a screenie with my standard settings...

    Mine"s usually the same except for the "Tidy up units"one. Having the boxes on the left makes the game more chaotic (for me) but more interesting - your decisions are really on the line.

    zarker: Yeah, sounds like you have the "auto-train units" option clicked on. Just go the menu drone mentioned, and unclick that option.

    Generally speaking, the only option I enable is autosave. I'll occasionally enable "show computer moves" as well, but not very often.

    Am I the only one using auto-tax? After they fixed it in one of the patches it's a really good micro-manage saver.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    I'm using auto-tax too...

    You might make a little less than optimal florins per turn in the more troublesome provinces, but it saves a great deal of micro-management.
