Skills and Education</A>

|
|
<P>
|
|
In FreeCol, your colonists come from all walks of life. Some are
|
|
unskilled Petty Criminals, who are
|
|
deported to the colonies. Others are Indentured Servants, or Free
|
|
Colonists with moderate skills. Still others are masters of their
|
|
craft, experts at their trade or profession, who were educated at the
|
|
Royal College in Europe. If you have enough gold, you can recruit
|
|
units directly from the Royal College.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Not all skills, however, can be learned in Europe.
|
|
Sugar, Cotton and
|
|
Tobacco, as well as Furs are
|
|
apparently unknown in Europe. Thus, Master Sugar Planters, Master Cotton Planters, Master Tobacco Planters, as well as the Expert Fur Trappers, can not be recruited in Europe.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
At the beginning of the game, these skills can only be learned at
|
|
Indian Settlements, or through experience. If you put a Free Colonist
|
|
to work outside of the colony for a long time without changing his
|
|
work assignment, he may learn the necessary skill and become an
|
|
expert. This does not work for the more complicated jobs within the
|
|
colony, however.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The Schoolhouse and its upgrades, the
|
|
College and the
|
|
University, allow you to train your units
|
|
yourself by placing a skilled unit in one of these buildings. If a
|
|
suitable student exists in the colony it will automatically appear
|
|
below the teacher in the building, as well as continuing to perform
|
|
its current task. Note that the Master Sugar Planter, the Master
|
|
Cotton Planter, the Master Tobacco Planter, the Expert Fur Trapper,
|
|
the Master Distiller, the Master Weaver, the Master Tobacconist, the
|
|
Master Blacksmith and the Master Gunsmith all require at least a
|
|
College, while the Elder Statesman, the Firebrand
|
|
Preacher and the Jesuit Missionary even require a
|
|
University to teach their profession.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
A Free Colonist can learn any skill or profession in this manner, but
|
|
Petty Criminals and Indentured Servants can not. However, a Petty
|
|
Criminal may become an Indentured Servant, and an Indentured Servant
|
|
may become a Free Colonist through education. Any colonist placed in a
|
|
schoolhouse, college or university is able to provide this kind of
|
|
education.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Petty Criminals may also become Indentured Servants, and Indentured
|
|
Servants may also become Free Colonists by winning a battle and being
|
|
promoted. Free Colonists can be promoted to
|
|
Veteran Soldiers, and after the Declaration of Independence, these may
|
|
be promoted to Colonial Regulars.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Indian units are more productive than free colonists when working
|
|
outside of the colony, and less productive when working inside a
|
|
building. Indian units can not become free colonists through
|
|
education, but all Indian units become free colonists as soon as
|
|
Bartolomé de las Casas joins
|
|
the Continental Congress.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Scouts can explore the New World and enter Indian
|
|
Settlements in order to speak with the tribal chiefs. A scout entering
|
|
an Indian Settlement may become a Seasoned
|
|
Scout through experience. A colonist investigating a Lost City Rumours may also be upgraded to a Seasoned
|
|
Scout, unless that unit already has another skill.
|
|
|
|
<P>
