Is anyone interested in where I went wrong with happiness this game? Playing Authority-Statecraft-Imperialism-Autocracy Songhai, 2nd of 9 in policies and tech (5 ahead of median).
Maybe this would be better somewhere in the Strategy section?
Using 11-21-1-3 with no other mods:
Turn 289 End of Industrial Era:
12/14 non-puppet cities with 15-23
34 / 239 (24 from puppets)
101 total
10 projected additional unhappiness if all cities grow this turn.
I feel confident I can work the strongest yield tiles. Food is considered roughly as valuable as other yields as only 1 city is above 20 pop, and there are a ton of unused specialists.
Turn 325 Near end of Modern Era:
13/17 non-puppet cities with 19-28 .
70 / 343 (59 from puppets)
72 total
91 projected additional unhappiness if all cities grow this turn.
15 is from an unwisely annexed 19 Mongolian city with poor infrastructure. 40 from Culture needs, expected because I'm wide and don't have Broadcast Towers built yet and I'm pretty far away from Stadiums. 34 from war weariness: I'm stretching these wars pretty long, but my happiness can handle it.
Turn 329 Very early Atomic Era:
13/17 non-puppet cities with 19-28
98 / 347 (59 from puppets)
39 total
149 projected additional unhappiness if all cities grow this turn. This is 90%+ unhappiness in all cities but puppets, my capital and my holy city.
First save after noticing the problem. I'm in damage control. One city grew while I wasn't paying attention and it's at 25/25. Immediately locked the growth on every city except puppets. Assigned tiles considering food over the minimum required to starve to be worth 0, and the city managers are even more zealous, trying to starve a few cities for those extra yields. Looking to techs and policies to see what I can do about it, and am trying to decide if it's worth trying to solve over just not growing ever again.
Turn 340 Current save, still in Atomic Era:
13/17 non-puppet cities with 19-28
53 / 350 (62 from puppets)
87 total
178 projected additional unhappiness if all cities grow this turn. This is 95%+ unhappiness in all cities but puppets, my capital and my holy city.
The buildings have helped with current unhappiness levels, but the projections are even worse if I grow.
