How Citizens are Acquired
This section of the guide will go over different ways that citizens can be gained.

Citizen Overview

Citizens are used to specialize your civilization in a particular direction. The focus of this guide will be how Citizens impact your game and how citizens can be acquired. First we will look at the Citizens tab.

Under the Citizens tab there are four other tabs (Train, Transfer, Espionage and Summary). First, we will look at the Train tap. The Train tap shows you untrained citizens and the roles they can be trained in.


1.These are roles that your citizens can train to specialize in. More roles will become available as the game progress.
2. This represents the number of available citizens you can train.
3. This represents the number of weeks till you gain another citizen to train.
4. This part of the screen shows details about what the citizen does when they specialize in the selected role.
5. This button will assign the selected role to an available citizen.

A citizen can only specialize in a role that's available to you at that time. To access more citizen roles you must research the technology associated with that role. Later in the game there will be other ways to generate citizens with shipyard missions, planetary projects and some technologies give you a free citizen.

*You don't have to assign a role to a citizen immediately, you can collect a pool of citizens to use later.

Citizens can be transferred to your colonies from three different management screens. The first place you can manage your citizen transfers is in the Citizen transfer screen.


1. This part of the screen displays information about the citizen selected such as: Where there stationed, what level the citizen is, and what bonus the citizen provides.
2. Rename will allow you to give your citizens a new name if you want to change it.
3.This part of the screen will allow you to look at your citizens and whether they are working for the goverment or are on a colony.
4.Allows you to transfer the selected citizen to the selected colony.
5.This list shows all your colonies and view how many citizens are on each colony. You can sort your colonies based on distance, colony and the number of citizens.
6. This part of the screen displays information about the selected planet.
7. This button will take you to the colony management screen of the selected colony.

The second place citizens can also be transferred to your colonies from the Civilization screen under the colony tab.

The third place citizens can also be transferred from to a colony in the colony management screen.

Be careful when you transfer a citizen to one of your colonies as they will be transported in an unarmed ship which can be destroyed by pirates and enemy civilizations.






















In the Espionage tap is used to manage your spies. Spies can be used to gather information on other civilizations, steal technologies and sabotage their improvements. The Espionage tap will only become available when you gain your first spy citizen. See the section on the Spy citizen type to get more information about how Espionage works.


1.This part of the screen show a list of the civilizations you have met including your own civilization. You can assign spies here to monitor other civilizations.
2. This displays the spies you have working directly for the goverment. These spies will actively slow down other civilizations attempts to steal your technology.
3. This display shows the civilization you have selected and what colonies you know they have and under surveillance details your spies have found out about the selected civilization.
4.Go to colony will take you to the planetary screen of the selected enemy planet. Where you can view information about the target civilization and place your spies to sabotage their improvements.
5. Speak to will take you to the diplomacy screen of the selected civilization. Report will take you to the diplomacy overview and give you detailed information of the diplomatic status of that civilization with your own civilization.

The last part in the Citizen screen is the summary tap. Here you will see an overview about what each of your citizens are doing. We will be covering the citizen promotion screen in the next section.

1. These are citizen working directly for the goverment.
2.These citizens are on one of your colonies. If that colony is captured, your enemy will get any citizens stationed on that colony.
3.These are citizens that aren’t working directly in the goverment or stationed on one of your colonies. The dispatched citizens are often your diplomats and your spies.
4. This display shows basic information about the selected citizen. Rename will allow you to change the citizen’s name. Promote citizen will give the citizen some type of upgrade or perform some type of action.
5. These citizens are your ship commanders which are assigned to a fleet.


Before we finish the Citizen Overview we should take a quick look at how to promote citizens.


1. The arrows at the top of the screen allows you to scroll through your citizens in the Citizen Promotion screen.
2. This part if the screen displays basic information about the selected citizen.
3.This part of the screen lists all the available promotion that are available to the selected citizen and what resources and if a specific dominate ideology is required for that promotion to be selected.
4.The Promote button will promote the selected citizen with the selected promotion. A promotion often gives your civilization a one-time boost at the expense of your citizen.
5.The back button will take you back to the main citizen screen.
