Training Citizens Under 1.60.388302
Published on Saturday, June 10, 2023 By
I don't know if this is new under 1.60.388302 or if I just noticed it now, but it now takes 5 Control to train a citizen. The game assigns a skill to each citizen as they are created and I frequently want to train them to a different skill. I have been able to do this quite freely in the past, but today I was not able to train a citizen and I realized that the reason was that I was out of Control (literally, not figuratively!).
Is this something new under 1.60.388302?
If it is, I strongly suggest that you either get rid of it or reduce the cost to 1 or 2 control. The reasons for my suggestion are:
- You generally only earn 2 Control per turn meaning, if you did nothing else that requires Control, you would only be able to train 1 citizen per month.
- The game assigns skills to new citizens and generally does a very poor job of it given the point values the citizen has for Intelligence, Social, Diligence, and Resolve. This means players probably will want to train more than 1 citizen per month.
I did not figure out that training citizens required Control until I completely used up all of my control and was unable to train a citizen. The screen snapshot below shows what it looked like.
