Profession Categories[edit]

Layered graphics only use profession categories rather than individual professions. These are:

  • STONEWORKER
  • MINER
  • METALSMITH
  • ENGINEER
  • FARMER
  • WOODWORKER
  • JEWELER
  • RANGER
  • STANDARD (i.e. "Peasant". Also includes some invader & visitor professions.)
  • CRAFTSMAN
  • FISHERY_WORKER
  • MERCHANT
  • CHILD
  • NONE (applies to anything not included above - doctors, bards, military, etc. Note that this is distinct from having no profession condition; it will apply ONLY to NONE units.)

Noble positions do not affect the categorization; a craftsdwarf appointed to mayor will still use the layers designated for CRAFTSMAN.
