Civil Disorder Popup Question

[saturn]

When does the Civil DIsorder popup give the choice "zoom to CITY"? and when does the popup not give that choice?

Thanks

I don't think even the game designers know

Thanks

Depending on patches? Direction of the wind?

I could be wrong, but isn't the choice of having 'civil disorder pop-ups' in player preferences?

If the disorder can be quelled by making a few entertainers without starvation, you get the three choices (one of them "Give them some entertainment"). If starvation would ensue by making entertainers, you get only two choices (one of them "zoom to city"), presumably so you can choose between rioting and starvation.

Ah, thanks for that Catt. I always wondered why sometimes you got 2 and other times 3 choices.

You are not suppose to let it get to that point. Check cities with grown to se if they have more unhappy faces than they have happy ones.

Use F1 if you have too many cities to keep track of.

Thanks Catt.

Does anyone ever use "give them some entertainment"?

[vmxa1]

Yes, you may have no choice, but to give them some entertainment at times.

All the time.

I always zoom to the city and micromanage the citizen placement. When faced with massive, starvation-inducing rioting (i.e., loss of multiple luxuries due to outbreak of multiple wars simultaneously), I'll ignore the disorder until I can work with sliders to try and alleviate enough rioting to make specilists viable ot to quell outright the dissent.

I always use this. Am I doing something wrong?

[Theseus]

I used to, but almost never anymore. Disorder is a trigger for me to pause, and examine the state of my empire and citizens. Exception: 75-100 cities or more, and then I usually am in the midst of some kinda dreadnaught domination play, and will just assign entertainers to non-core cities just to keep up the pace of play.
