VEM adds a lot more specialist slots to places. It becomes rather cumbersome to look across all the slots in the city screen in later games, if trying to manually control specialists. How about taking a page from how I recall specialists were controlled in earlier Civs?:

Remove the UI showing each specialist by building. Instead, in "Specialist" tab, just have one row for each type of specialist, with as many slots in line as there are total slots of this type in the city. Nevermind where those slots come from. (So display like unemployed citizens are)

The building list can show how many slots each building has for the detailed info for the rare cases it might matter. I just care how many slots I have total, and to see and set how many are occupied. And I'd prefer to see this info at a glance instead of a pageful of different buldings with some type of slot each.

Possible to do?

It is, but it is a VERY VERY VERY complicated process to work out. The issue is that each slot is directly associated with a specific building rather than a city, so UI changes need to more or less disassociate each slot for graphic purposes and then reassign the data back to the building behind the scenes.

That being said, I am looking in to it. If I can find a way to do this that will not be totally engine inefficient (I will probably need to cycle through every building available in game 4 time, then subsearches of specialist types, counts, and flots filled) it will probably make its way into VEM.

Hooray! Thanks for that, and while I'm at it, also to all the effort people here put in making Civ great :goodjob:
