​“Builders! I hereby automate you! Go forth and improve the 37 billion resource tiles that we’ve had since Civ 5!”
“Nah.”
“I am your Empress! I have commanded you!”
“Eh, you have to tell us what improvements to make.”
“But…you can only build mines and farms on normal tiles, or a resource’s specialty improvement. There’s not a lot I need to tell you here. Well, alright: go forth and improve the resource tiles only!”
“Nah. Doesn’t feel special. Feels like you just want us to work in the background.”
“Well, yes, I’d love that, thanks.”
“But we want you to pay attention to us. We’re a non-renewable resource now.”
“Riiiiight…but you can’t build districts, wonders, or roads. And there’s never a reason that I wouldn’t want to improve a resource tile, so you actually have less strategic value than ever.”
“We knew it! You don’t love us!”
“Love has…nothing to do with this relationship.”
“We’re done! We’re not doing anything unless you’re there to watch us!”
“-Blinks- Every…time?”
“Yes! We want to feel special!”
“Uhh…could my ‘special’ little Builders construct roads for me?”
“No! Building roads isn’t special!”
“….”
 
(Here endeth the most absurd discussion an Empress has ever had with the basic fucking worker unit.)
