He also changes workers to \ +scientists, taxmen, or entertainers, if appropriate. And he reveals \ +astonishing abilities: he keeps the city content, if ever possible!\ +\n\n\ +But what are best results? You define! Open the city window and \ +click on the CMA tab. You'll find two kinds of sliders: On the left, \ +you can set a Minimal Surplus for each kind of production, e.g. \ +Gold = +3 means the city earns 3 gold more than it needs to upkeep \ +its improvements. On the right, the sliders let you define how much \ +you prefer one kind of production to another; setting science to 3 \ +means you prefer a single bulb to three shields (or gold, trade,...). \ +You can set different factors for each kind of production, along \ +your needs.\ +\n\n\ +If you set up some Minimal Surpluses which are impossible to fulfill, \ +the CMA can't be activated. Whenever the CMA can't fulfill his task \ +in the ongoing game, he passes back control to you. So you'll better \ +not define too high surpluses and rather use factors to imply your \ +goals.\ +\n\n\ +The Celebrate checkbox lets your city - celebrate. This will work \ +with a high luxury rate only. \ +\n\n\ +Clicking on \"Change permanently\" puts the city under control of \ +the CMA, \"Release city\" passes control back to you.\ +\n\n\ +To ease the use, you can save your slider setting as a preset with \ +a name. Just click \"add preset\" and enter a name for your setting. \ +Now you can use this preset in every city by just clicking on its \ +name. You can control your setting from within the city report, in \ +the CMA column. And you can change it from there (use \"change\" \ +--> \"CMA\"), if you have saved it as a preset.\ +\n\n\ +Please use \"Game\" --> \"Save Settings\" to store your presets \ +permanently.\ +\n\n\ +Beware! If you use the CMA for some of your cities, you will \ +encounter some difficulties with managing cities nearby by hand. \ +So the best will be to manage all cities on an island either by hand \ +or by CMA. Read more hints, some background information, and some \ +preset examples in the file README.cma, coming with Freeciv.\n\ +") + [help_city_improvements] name = _("City Improvements") text = _("\
