cities revolting

[gdeck]

What causes cities to revolt? Today I was playing perhaps my best game so far of CTP--I was ahead of all other societies, I had well established lucrative trade routes, a moderate sized but efficient army, well-developed cities etc.....--and at the end of one of my turns all but one of my cities revolted and formed a Barbarian society.

I really don't understand why this happend. Prior to this I had very few riots--maybe one or two--and I was not at war with anyone else.


If anyone can give me a clue as to why this might have happened and how to prevent it in the future I would really appreciate it.


I'm new to CTP and I love it. For $10 it's the best gaming fun I've ever had.

There are a couple of things that could have caused this sudden revolt:

- a change in government, which causes a lot of distress
- running out of money, which forces the game to lower your wages
- controlling the AI Entity wonder, which has a small chance of leading to mass-revolt
- researching a tech that obsoletes Happiness wonders

I may be overlooking one or two, but I'm sure others will correct me if so. Do any of these apply to you?

Good to see you're enjoying the game

Not playing online with Troll.. Yeah..That would top my list!

Seriously, I would say one of previous posted reasons would be best bet!

First off i admit i havent played ctp for ages.
Its a v.good game, i just found the AI weak.

As for happiness, there was a wonder that eliminated unhappiness due to overcrowding (virtual world i think).

Its grossly overpowered, build it and happiness wont be a problem

Why isn't this in the FAQ? Of course I could add it myself but your answer is compact, and therefore it is your right to add it and in addition it gets boring if I post in a row a lot.
