Specialist in Libraries

[Necleto]

Hi,

I have build a library in one of my cities, planing to fill it with a scientist specialist to boost science and limit the city growth.

But once the library is built, the is no slot for a specialist beside the building.

What is needed to get the specialist slot enabled?

Thanks.

They removed the specialist slot from libraries in one of the patches a while back. You need to get to Education and build a University.

But, I think I remember from another game played recently, that late in the game, I had a specialist slot available in libraries.

Does that mean that Education, plus a University, also enables the specialist slot in libraries?

No... there is no way to have a Library specialist spot in an unmodded game in this patch

You're right.

I have reloaded my previous game to check and I had mistaken the public school specialist spot with the library. Too bad for me in my new game, the library will just be good to produce some science but no use for a specialist.

What I have found useful is to declare a city as your 'science city'.

This city should preferably be settled next to a mountain, as then you can later build a observatory there. Depending on map layout, I try to make my second city my science center. While my capital is building hippie stuff, this is where I make sure to build all the science wonders and also any building that let's you add a science specialist. Universities and Public Schools are priority one. National Collage is a must.

This city should also never chop down jungle if it has any.
