Specialists are alternative work assignments for File:Citizen6.png Citizens, in which they do not work in the open field (meaning the terrain tiles surrounding their city), but in their city's buildings. In Civilization VI all buildings with Specialist slots are concentrated in districts: after you construct a district in a city, you will start populating it with the relevant buildings, which in turn will open up Specialist slots where you can assign Specialists. Another difference with the previous game is that Specialists now provide yields only and not Great Person Points, which makes them somewhat less important.
