Changes: Specialists (Civ5)

Revision as of 07:18, 1 July 2015

Specialists are citizens of your cities taken off work in the tiles around the cities and assigned to work in some of your buildings' specialist slots. Despite the fact that in this way less land is being taken advantage of, Specialists are very important for your civilization, because they are the main source of great people points and are thus central to your Great People generation! Depending on the building they're assigned to, they will also produce some stat - Production Production, Gold Gold, Culture Culture or Science Science. Keep in mind that Specialists also cause a small amount of Unhappiness Unhappiness that should be countered.

Specialists are crucial for your Great Person generation, being the most important contributor to that end. If you want a certain Great Person generated, assign Specialists of the relevant type in your cities. But aside from that, Specialists produce valuable stats which aren't usually available in the Land (especially Culture and Science). Use them to enhance these sides of your empire's stat generation, particularly in cities that contain bonus buildings for the relevant stat.
