I just want to know if you can automate workers again, because I always get to a point with a worker where I'm like, "okay, I still need you but not for anything important right now, so you go off and do your thing and I'll come get you later" and just stopping them from doing anything seems pointless when they can build you a massive road or rail network without you having to worry about it. I stopped playing 6 when I realized I was going to have to either minimize my number of workers, have ridiculously long turns, or just create a bunch of spare workers and have them stay in one place until I need them and I really didn't like any of those options. I gave up on 6 pretty quickly specifically for that reason. It was just too much of a grind.

Civ 5 auto improve/auto road/auto railroad function was so useful that I miss as well.

I have gotten used to micro-managing my workers and sleeping them when not needed, and using two Military Engineers to build a railroad quickly. I am curious about how it will be for 7 since we've seen a steam train in the trailer.
