Citizen

The Citizen is a worker unit for the Atlanteans. They are much more expensive than villagers from other civilizations, and take up more population, but are much more effective. Each Citizen is accompanied by a donkey, which removes the need to visit a drop site, instead adding the resources straight to the stockpile.

They are more durable and can survive early raids better, and also collect resources and constuct buildings more quickly than other villagers. Like all Atlantean units, Citizens can also be upgraded into Heroes which will allow them to work more effectively.

Note: Despite getting the fullest extent of population, only 25 Citizens can be trained and 10 can be upgraded into Heroes which then can be replaced with more regular Citizens totaling up to 35.
