Learn how to manage settlers effectively in Sid Meier’s Civilization VII, including optimal numbers per city and limitations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To best optimize your terrain, aim for at least two settlers from each city after you have developed railroads.
  2. 2
    Before railroads are developed, you should aim for no more than one settler per city.
  3. 3
    There is no such thing as having enough settlers; you can always use more.
  4. 4
    Be aware of the limitation where you may be unable to produce more settlers.
  5. 5
    Maintain one settler for each city.
  6. 6
    If you start with two settlers, set one to NONE. This settler does not consume food or build points for any city, making them very valuable.
Tips
  • Always prioritize having a settler available for each city.
  • Consider setting one of your starting settlers to NONE to conserve city resources.
  • The availability of railroads significantly impacts how many settlers you can effectively manage per city.
