How is that a cop-out? If someone decides to include the great doctor mod comp in their mod then they can configure it how they want. I am trying to build my components to be as flexible as possible. If you wanted to tweak it, you would do so in the INI file and release the INI file or ask me to post it in the thread.

I see you have implemented a new Health yield to use with your Doctors. I have been working on this problem as well and it seems you beat me too it but I implemented it as a new form of Commerce. I wasn't able to get the Icons to display correctly but after having a look at your code I managed to have .getchar() correctly return the Health and Happy chars. Now as we are both working on the CCP we will likly going to have to have to choose one or the other method.
I advocate commerce because their are a wider range of things the game already dose with Commerce that can be taken advantage of such as blocking spending untill a specific tech is reached. Health obviosly should open up with Medicine. Its also a bit more realistic to think of Commerce/goverment budgeting for healthcare and the ability to do a "Build Health" (with Genetics perhaps) much like the "Build Culture".
In any event the set of Local Building Commerce&Yield modifiers along with the Tec Commerce&Yield modifiers I have implemented will work great with your Specialist mod. No longer will specialists fall behind in output compared to your highly improved terrain, they can maintain high desirable outputs all game.

Impaler,
The reason why I opted to use health as a yield instead of a commerce is because it is something that a specialist provides. A doctor yields health to a city, while an artist produces works of culture and art, hence why culture is a commerce and not a yield.
It is not a matter of choosing one method over the other. It is choosing which one to use depending on the circumstance. See the thing is also that not only did I implement a health yield but if you use it in the negative it become an unhealthy yield as represented in my usage of it in RogerBacon's Bad Person Mod for prostitutes. See:
EDIT:
BTW, it took me over a month to figure out what the "right" way to display the correct positive and negative health icons... I still feel it's a hack but it works. I might extend this to correctly represent things like the negative food yield that Roger is using, but before that I need to finish some other stuff...

according to webster's dictionary, a doctor is a person highly skilled in any particular branch of knowledge (medicine or otherwise) and a physician is a person who is qualified to practice medicine. also i think that the term doctor started to be used relatively recently (20th century) concerning medicine.

Actually, Wiki says 19th century, but why quibble over +/- 100 years?
Anyways, if you are willing to go through all my mod components that use the Great Doctor mod and change them to Great Physician then I will use it.
Right now I am too busy to go through and change something which, yes, technically it might not be 100% historically.

This question is for the great statesman as well...
Does the A.I. use it at least somewhat other than fodder for Golden Age's?
