That's what I said: "increases the efficiency of Temples".

I'm sure that would take care of the problem. But think about the happiness count. Cordoba has a Temple, 2 Phalanx, and a Cathedral (Mike's). Those should make 1+2+3 unhappy citizens content on their own,

Martial law doesnt work under rep.

Well it's kinda obvious that I need to do my damnedest to get Gunpowder ASAP. With no more immediately urgent WoWs (and right now none of much importance but Adam's anyway), this is what I will do - trade routes WHEREVER cargoes are demanded, even our own cities if it helps.

Sound good?

We will get more money when sending goods that are not in demand to Canton then sending demamded goods to our own city's.

(Unless they are both big and on different island)

Under no circumstances trade on the same island

when playing Diety(or one of the higher levels) your citizens are made unhappy very easy.(eg IIRC if you have more then 7 or 8 cities in monarchy you start your next city with a red face...if you keep building cities and end up round city number 14 or so you start with a black face. If you then introduce something that would make an unhappy citizen content , a black citizen improves to a red face. eg a temple makes a black face content or 2 red faces content)

try a save of a deity game with big cities and go check out the happinesdistribution in the city(happinessbutton in city-screen) then you'll see black faces/red faces/content/happy.

We need to start building things other than just Caravans and Diplomats. We need Libraries, Banks, Universities, Harbors, etc. If we don't do some serious tech development to get to Factories and such real fast, we'll never get *close* to a spaceship.

I suggest we keep a stash of Caravans for Wonders, and trade a bit with the Chinese, but mainly focus on city infrastructure for a while.

I dont agree, a caravan with goods in demand by Chinese will bring us 150-200 beakers at least

Add to that the same amount of gold and the caravans pay for the harbours and library's.

I suggest we make sure every low corruption city have 3 traderoutes with Chinese before rushbuilding improvements.

I've always depended on improving cities by production rather than buying improvements with gold, but I'm willing to give a other methods a try. That's one of the reasons I'm playing the Demo games; to learn new ways of success that did not occur to me on my own.

We are currently building 12 Caravans among our 20 cities, so we should have plenty of them coming along for a trading civ that buys all the city improvements. If the Citizens want to pursue our game strategy that way, I will implement that and learn from the experience. It sounds interesting. I have to admit that I am intruiged!

Why not rush the Oracle? It only expires with Theology, and we are the only nation with even Monotheism. This will help if we try to go into WLTPD strategy and grow all of our cities up to size 8! After we get gunpowder- why don't we flip to 70% Lux and start celebrating?

[cavebear]

Welcome, obiwan! The WLTxD is a good strategy. It's just that we have just now gotten into Republic and need to consolidate our poisition in that. City growth via WLTxD can start soon, and I look forward to us doing that.

Again good turns , even if less lucky with Barbs than Hydey !

- Cordoba in Disorder; I thought they were OK with a new citizen with Temple and Mike's but was wrong.

As other posts says : with our number of cities, the "riot factor" is to be taken in account !
At this level, I often must put luxury to 20% !
And don't forget the units outdoor !
For the following, we urge to discover powder, to secure our cities by Leo's.
Then we may increase luxury to 50% for WLT*D, but the growing will be limited as we have no acqueduc !
One of the next aim would be democracy, to eradicate corruption !
