Details about the plan to fight corruption
As I said in my post a few hours ago we should use the luxes of our rich land to make citizens happy. It's not that I care about them, is that if they are happy, the waste (shields corruption) is lowered.
To bring We Love The Ling Day (WLTKD) to a city we need:
- Size of 6 or greater.
- No unhappy citizens
- More happy than content citizens.
Geting rid of unhappy citizens:
Being a monarchy we can use our loyal soldiers to turn 3 of the unhappy citizens into content ones. A temple will turn 1 unhappy citizen into a content, and 2 citizens are born content. That will work for size 6. A Cathedral (half price because we are religious) will rise the number to 9. And, if we build the Sistine Chappel, 12!!! Even if we change to Republic later we can have no unhappy people in cities up to size 9! In adition, cathedrals would boost our culture rating.
Turning content citizens into happy citizens
We have 4 luxuries inside our borders (or will have once all our south is settled). That, without marketplace, allows us to have WLTKD in cities of size 6 and 7. With marketplace the number raises to 11. If needed, we can get wines from GoW and this will allow us to have WLTKD in cities up to size 17 (12 in fact, because after that size we will need to make unhappy citizens content first).
What need to be done:
Sooner or later, luxuries will get connected, marketplaces and cathedrals built. However, it could be interesting to pay a bit more attention to that and speed the building of such improvements.
But for this idea to work what really needs to be done is the construction of the Sistine Chappel. It is a very expensive project (OOC: 600 shields) and we should start building it right now or very soon. The most suitable place for that would be Madrid. Currently Madrid at size 5 produces 10 shields, that's 60 turns. With higher size and two hills mined this number can grow to 14, aprox. 42 turns.
We also need to research or get the needed tech (Theology I think it is) to build the Sistine Chappel.
If the plan works and we get the Sistine Chappel, then the building order in every city would be: temple, marketplace, cathedral and courthouse. Of course, oter things can be introduced in the queue between these 4 items as needed. The Temple could be omited in the internal cities because it's main purpose is to expand borders. Marketplace helps paying the maintenance cost of the cathedral and multiplies the effect of luxuries. cathedral lets the city grow to a decent size while still in WLTKD, and courthouse helps fighting corruption also in commerce.
