Hi guys,
I started a new game and when I have built a doctors office and a school I noticed that the doctor and the teacher suddenly packs up and leaves. Anyone know why this happens?
I also noticed that they are not really leaving, they still occupie the houses and blocks for anyone else to be appointed. Why is that?
Were these positions ever filled after you built the school and healers house? If so, they might have died of left if desirability dropped. Keep in mind teacher requires someone with a basic education to fill the position. When you start the game you only have a few villagers with a basic education. Usually by the time you get around to building the school, the ones with a basic education have been assigned to another job. You need to look through the various buildings to find a worker with a basic education and un-assign them. Once you do you can assign them to the school
The first Teachers and Healers come from immigrants so even if you have the buildings you have to wait.
No, they don’t. A certain % of your population is probably educated, you can see that if you hover over the population figure at the top of the screen. It gives you a breakdown of your villagers (seniors, kids, etc) and also what % are educated.
If you have that % then you can unassign workers and try assigning the teacher/healer to make them change from whatever job they were doing before. Then just re-assign the rest of your workers back into their jobs.
Thanks for your replies and for the information about the basic education workers and other thoughts. I’ll have look at that. But, a problem seems to be that there is people who have occupied the spaces. Over the first plus sign it says the swedish equivalent of ‘inhabited’ or ‘occupied’. That is another thing.
EDIT: I found one guy with basic education and released him from his duties in the clay pit. I could then assign him as the teacher. I think he was the only one with basic education. I am guessing he can then train others. Thanks!
EDIT II: The spaces turned out not to be occupied, only locked for educated inhabitants.
This was one of the first ‘tricks’ I learned in the game: always build a School before you build a Healer’s House, so that what may be your ONLY educated villager can train others to become healers.
My first game I slammed down a Healer’s House, couldn’t find an educated villager (I suspect he as one of the ones who had already become Wolf Chow) and the House remained empty for several years until an immigrant showed up who could fill it.
Lesson Learned!
Yes, the teacher will educate others so they can then fill those positions in your village that need educated workers. As Boris said I always build a school first so I can be sure I’ll have people to fill the other slots later on.
