  • Courthouses question

    I know that you can't build courthouses in your capital, but what if you moved your capital, built the courthouse, and moved it back again. would it work?

    Why would you want to do it anyway? Apart from to discover whether you can? Mmmm. Probably a good enough reason to try it. So try it. Let's know the result.

      Yes, you can do it. But you don't gain anything by doing so, as the Palace acts as a courthouse, with extras.

          A courthouse doesn't affect happiness, as such. It controls corruption. For happy citizens you need luxuries and/or improvements that affect attitude and/or Happy Wonders.

            Finbar, in democracy (where, unlike the real world, there is no corruption) a courthouse gives a city one happy citizen. I was wondering if that happens in your capital too (assuming you manage to build a courthouse there).

              Your capitol receives one happy face extra for the palace in democracy, in my observation. I, too, mulled whether it was worth the shields to build three palaces just to stick a courthouse in the original capitol. But I found in several different saved games that when in a democracy, I had one more happy citizen in the capitol than I could account for with the various formulae. Thus, I'm guessing that the palace fulfills all of the courthouse functions better than a regular courthouse.

                the courthouse in the capital gives you a happy person. i don't if the palace gives you a happy person (i've never anything that would suggest it does).

                  Andz asked this awhile back.Just use the cheat menu to check.You'll see a courthouse in the capitol does nothing.No extra happy.That is done by the palace.

                  Courthouses do make 1 citizen happy under Democracy but it won't work together with a palace for 2 happies.

                  Blaupanzer is correct.Its like a supreme court.

                      The way this thing works has always confused me. Which improvement takes precedence over which wonder or vice versa... Is there a tread about it? Or are things much simpler than that?

                        Click on the "happy" button. From top to bottom is the order in which luxuries & contentment is applied. Anything from wonder that doesn't affect city structures or copy them (Oracle, MC) goes in the last column.
