[edit] Settler

On Warlord and above, you will start with a single Settler unit with which to found your capital city; on the Chieftain difficulty, your capital will be founded automatically at the start of the game.

Later in the game settlers are used to found new cities. A city may only produce a settler if it has a population of three or more.
