Civilopedia Entry

Colonists are the heart of any colony. Only the Colonist is willing to brave the dangers of their new world, in hopes of founding an outpost somewhere among the wilderness. This outpost, if successful, will eventually grow to be a city. If it fails, its inhabitants will have paid the ultimate price. It is through the courage and sacrifice of Colonists that a colony is able to expand and grow.
