      So we'll have two new specialists? What do they do? Civil engineer= more shields? Policemen=lower corruption? If so then all those over-corrupt cities far from youe core will come to a use.

        Yeah that's how I believe they'll work. One shield is much better than one beaker or gold, IMHO. Not sure how the policeman will work. Will that just be on income, or will it also be on shields. If both, if it gave you one trade and one shield back, then that might be a bit overpowered. And I wonder where they will fall in the tech tree and if they are limited to certain govs and yadda yadda. Wonder if police or whatever they are called will be tied to communism, as thats when you can build police stations.

          Perhaps the Policeman will only effect trade.

              Do you have any idea how much bribe money it costs to keep a courthouse running? And it can't shoot anyone either............

                  OT: I read a book in the discworld series where the only law-enforcement in a city were the guild of thieves and murderes. They made sure the total crime rate in the city didn't exceed what the people would tolerate. Any un-licensed thieves or murderers would quickly be dealt with...

                    Haven't seen Conquests, but my understanding is Civil Engineers only affect production of buildings (improvements), not production of units.

                    Also, maybe policemen will be just like Military Policeman, ie keeping citizens content who woud otherwise be unhappy.

                    Speculation really... on topic, one fundamental thing to keep unhappiness down - make sure your cities have overlap so they cannot grow over size 19 or so. 8 luxuries with a marketplace, temple etc will only go so far towards curing unhappiness. An alternative is to make sure the city can grow big enough to support a few entertainers - say 25+. It's those cities in between 19-25 that give the real hassle - I keep them small, it's less messing about.
