:* In Civ1 and Civ2, Settlers function both as city-building units and terrain-enhancing units. If we were to follow Civ1 terminology here, the word "Settler" would create ambiguity for Civ3 and SMAC players. Therefore, the Civ3 terminology for "Settlers" and "Workers" has been adopted as an exception to the general rule to use Civ1 terminology. Civ1 and Civ2 players can simply read both words as "Settlers".
