sending citizens back to work after pollution is gone

[Cookie Monster]

Having to manually put the worker back on the turn pollution is removed is tedious. This has been the way since Civ3 began so what can you do?


OTOH does anyone remember if it was necessary to manually replace workers after pollution was cleaned in Civ2?

i don't remember that being so.

You know why? Because polluted squares could still be worked- but at reduced capacity.

And I didn't realize you could redistribute workers like that. So you just click on the center city square? Won't that also assign entertainers to work? Wouldn't you have to make entertainers again to prevent civil disorder?

Dissident - in Civ3, clicking on the centre tile redistributes workers to a more-or-less most efficient distribution. I am unsure if it goes by the Governor's setting or not.

But it is useful for when your city is in disorder - clicking on the tile will automatically convert sufficient numbers of workers into Entertainers to keep your city content, whislt simultaneously trying to keep the city's pop growing. Of course sometimes you can then turn one of those entertainers into a taxman for an extra couple of gold, but it is a good start.
