Do people actually use slaves then? I tried rounding some up but it seemed sort of a waste of a turn building commanders to do it.

I never turn down free chaff. They catch the arrows while my Jaguar Warriors flank the enemy.

On the use of the word "bug", I don't consider myself a professional programmer, but I do get paid to write the occasional program, and I maintain one of my creations at work. When somebody does something that I did not anticipate, my program presents the user with a friendly message box:
Quote:

"Congratulations! You have found a bug. Please pass the following error message along to your underpaid programmer:"

Planes don't fall from the sky, but the state auditors frown when the books don't balance. Hmmm, come to think of it, I think they are always frowning...

Sounds like one of mine that said "tell them I need a raise"

They aren't really free though, I mean you have to build a tribal king and set him rounding them up. They also hurt the populace don't they?

They just seem less useful than freespawn to me.

They also cost upkeep. Every 15 slaves cost 1 upkeep.
