    Happy citizens

    The previous versions of Civilization have happy citizens. They are more productive and they can cancel out the effects of the whiny ruffians. There also used to be a kind of specialist called Entertainers, and they make citizens happy.

    So when did Firaxis took out happy citizens? And more importantly, why?

    I'm guessing since cities cannot riot anymore that it wasn't needed. I can't recall if happy citizens were in fact more productive in previous civ games other then they would stop the city from rioting if there were an equal number or less mad citizens.

      They can't? I could've sworn...
      "You are one of the cheerleaders for this wasting of time and the wasting of lives. Do you feel any remorse for having contributed to this "culture of death?" Of course not. Hey, let's all play MORE games, and ignore all the really productive things to do with our lives.
      Let's pretend to be shocked that a gamer might descend into deeper depression, as his gamer "buds," knowing he was killing himself, couldn't figure out how to call 911 themselves for him. That would have involved leaving their computers I guess."

        Ah I suppose they can if they are under the influence of another Civ's culture and are about to flip. I've actually never had this happen to one of mine. But in the case of a culture riot it doesn't really matter how happy they are? Or does it?

          It was done to reduce micromanagement.

          Now, if you slip up and don't fiddle with worker distribution/culture slider just right, you only lose the work of one citizen.

          It's the same reason that there's production overflow.

            Ah, you're right. Cities don't riot anymore.
