    Description: Settlers were used to found cities and is the first unit you see upon starting a new game (occasionally you would get two). You founded a city by pressing the B key on your 100% IBM compatible personal computer keyboard. Pressing B on an existing city with a settler would yield a population of one to that city, although this option was not available on a city with a population of 10 or more. Extremely cheap costing only 40 production hammers and requiring no prerequisites.
