Citizens... How do I reassign them?

from GalCiv3 Forums

I sent a citizen to a planet and now want to move it elsewhere. Trying to figure out how to do that ended up with me sending another one to the original planet, and I don't need that one there.

Things like this should be simple and self explanatory and yet I still keep running into them after how many years?

You can only move certain citizens and only by "promoting" them when you have researched the right tech and have the right resources.

One of the promotions for some is "recall"

Annoying at best. I should be able to reassign as needed, sort of reduces their usefulness to my strategy.

Thanks for the answers.

You can not even revert after moving a citizen by mistake. So after a missclick that citizen is just ...pss. +3 morality on a single colony ....
MAJOR bugg if you ask me :D
But this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to UI problems with this game.

Simple solution to misplacing a citizen. Save every turn also solves the occasional game crash problem.

Also, necroing a 4-year-old post is frowned upon on these forums.
