How do I turn citizens into GP?

[JFLNYC]

I build the Wonder which allows me to turn X citizens into Y GP, but I can't figure out how to do it. Pls help.

Thanks.

The wonders allow you to assign citizens as specialists. The specialists then spawn GPs.

Or do you mean how it increases GP generation directly? That just increases the rate at which you gain them, without any intervention on your part

Sorry. My mistake. How do I turn the citizens into specialists?

Thanks.

On the city screen it has the icons for the various types of specialists on the right hand side. If you have the right buildings/civics then there should be a + and - button next to the icons. Use them to increase or decrease the amount of each type

That's what I thought. Thanks much.

Note that, for micromangement purposes, it's best to go into the city screen and click on a worked tile that you'd like sacrificed (that is, whichever tile you're willing to give up to free a citizen for specialization). This will remove the citizen working that tile and turn him into a Citizen specialist (+1 , no GPP). Then, use the specialist controls, and the Citizen will be transformed into the chosen specialist.

It may look a bit more complex, but it's just one extra mouse click, and it ensures that your cities will do exactly what you want. Otherwise, the governor will choose which tiles to stop working (though you may prefer that).
