Tips
  • The 'Field' refers to the 8 squares where units can be sent to extract raw resources.
  • Experts are the best of their trade and function as normal Free Colonists but excel in their specific job title.
  • Indentured Servants are similar to Free Colonists but should not be sent to manufacturing positions.
  • Converted Natives are better at obtaining raw materials than Free Colonists.
  • Petty Criminals are generally less useful and should be replaced by Free Colonists.
