Colonists

Colonists are the workers and residents of colonies. Laborers are available at cities such as Deois. They require housing, commodities and suitable working conditions; their morale affects productivity.

The staffing requirements of a colony are indicated so that the colony runs around the clock. The colonists are allowed to have families (create new colonists) and also have a mortality. The gestation period through adolescence is not reported on the colony count - all available colonists can be considered contributing to the productivity of the colony.

scotmurie was once quoted when describing a colonists life a flagon of beer of an evening then, home to the wife and the family.
