What is the function of the apothecary and the surgeon buildings, other than to just create order/chaos.

Since people work in these buildings, unlike the observatory, they must have something to do...... so what game effect do these employees have?

I've never really bothered with em. Why put down some big building when you put in some small decor here and there for the same effect?

I'm not really sure.  I've only ever built a surgery once, and that was because I was took  the skilled surgeon on a cruise.

One skilled surgen will unlock both of 'em...much like one skilled farmer unlocks all the advanced farms. I'm with Jebus, I'll build 'em only if I capture a skilled captive on a cruise, otherwise I don't bother

2 workers work in each building, so what do these workers do???

Can you simply close both slots and the building will just act like the order/chaos equivalent of what the observatory does for defense???

Good question.  I too rarely use them, unless I take a surgeon from a cruise.

I know that pirates can get hurt when they fight each other. Do these buildings have any effect on restoring health to said pirates?  I know not though I also doubt not.

I build them later in the game when i have booty to spare and I go out on a specific "Kidnap Craftsman" mission to get them.  Maybe it's the lure of their blood-stained aprons that draws me to kidnap them, me being a bloodthirsty pirate and all!

Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but you should have an option to use the surgan to save a few pirates that would otherwise die. Have a small random chance (maybe 1 in 10) that everytime a pirate "dies" in battle, they aren't dead, they're just too wounded to fight and they are transported to the surgan...much like dead bodies are to the graveyard. For a small fee of gold and/or lumber, you could "heal" that pirate and have them available for service...heck you could charge the pirate...<snicker> an arm and a leg for the service <bah-dum, ching!>

Does that mean they get a free 'peg-leg'? Har har!

Seriously, I think that is a great idea. Would be nice to save some of those pirates you spent a few hundred doubloons to train.

I snagged a surgeon on a cruise last night, and on the same cruise, a pirate with the house in the middle of my pirate subdivision got killed.  Fortunately, I had spare housing, so I bulldozed that center spot, and plunked down the surgeon.

You would not believe the anarchy contribution of that one building to my subdivision!  I like it!   Grin
