Questions About Colonists Under 1.55.376894.1

from GalCiv4 Forums

As shown in the first screen snapshot below I got a new citizen that is assigned to the "Colonist" role.  In the second screen snapshot, I do not see any benefit from being a Colonist.  The third screen snapshot shows the roles to which I can assign a citizen that is currently a Worker and I do not see one named "Colonist".

Is the "Colonist" role just a placeholder indicating that the citizen has not been trained for a role yet? If not, what are the benefits of the "Colonist" role and why can't I train a citizen to be one?

Hello!

Citizens who don't live on Core worlds are Colonists, which is why citizens get converted to Colonists when they are loaded on a colony ship. They don't give as many bonuses as citizens on Core worlds.

Hope this helps!

I can understand the thinking behind a citizen becoming a Colonist when they get loaded onto a colony ship but, when they land on a new planet, shouldn't they retain the training that they had on their original world?  Or did getting on a colony ship wipe their brains clean?

Second, you say "They don't give as many bonuses as citizens on Core worlds."  I have 2 questions:

  1. Your statement implies that a citizen on a colony ship gives some bonuses.  What bonuses does a citizen on a colony ship give?
  2. When a citizen lands on a new world they remain in the Colonist role.  What bonuses does a citizen in the Colonist role give when they are on a Core world?
