Nations
Is a worker's deployment cost paid every round or only once?
The rulebook says the deployment cost is paid when you deploy, and the designer confirmed the recruited-worker food cost.

Only once, when you deploy the worker. The Stone deployment cost is not paid again while the worker stays on the card. Military upkeep shown on the card is separate and is paid in each Production phase, and the cost of a worker taken from the player mat (3 Food) is also paid every production phase. Circle and square icons are not a universal rule.
