Specialists (Civ5)

Specialists are s of your empire who, instead of laboring in the fields and mines around the cities, dedicate themselves to more refined work in certain buildings with appropriate slots. While assigning a to a specialist slot means they can't work a tile, Specialists are very important for your civilization because they are the main source of Points (GPPs), and thus are central to your Great People generation. For more info on that, see this article.
 Specialists are divided into several types, depending on the building to which they're assigned. Besides certain types of GPPs, each type will also produce a yield - , , , or - which is added to the base output of the city and therefore subject to enhancement bonuses. and aren't usually available from tiles, so well-placed Specialists can help supply your empire with these yields.
Despite from Specialists being shown separately from from the rest of the , Specialists produce no more than any other s, and can even produce less with the right enhancers (see below).

In the Brave New World expansion pack, the has been split into three new kinds of Specialist: Writer, Artist, and Musician (see below). All of the cultural buildings that provide slots for Artists in vanilla/Gods & Kings have been altered - they now provide slots instead. Similarly, all wonders that used to provide Great Artist points have now been altered to provide slots of the three types.
Only the three Guilds now provide slots for Specialists, as well as GPPs towards the specific Great Person.

In a few ways, Unemployed citizens behave like Specialists. They don't work tiles and they receive the bonus from the Statue of Liberty as though they were Specialists, but they receive no other specialist bonuses[Verify. True for Secularism.] and produce little benefit. The number of slots for Unemployed citizens is unlimited.
