Learn how to use a settler as a sentry in Sid Meier’s Civilization VII to detect barbarians and protect your irrigations. Unsentering takes one turn.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    A settler can be made a sentry (made aware of barbarians) after you have built everything you need.
  2. 2
    This allows the settler to run away if barbarians appear.
  3. 3
    You can also make a settler a sentry if an enemy settler is plundering your irrigations, so it can escape.
Tips
  • There is hardly a reason to make a settler a sentry unless you plan to take it on a sea trip and you are still building the boat.
  • If you sentry a settler, you can only unsentry it on the next turn.
