class-A procrastinator
Happiness pisses me off more then anything, more than the AI, more than the loading times.
Usually, I annex most of the cities I conquer, which contributes -4 happiness. To compensate, I have to rush one coliseum in one of the cities I own, contributing +4 happiness. However, in almost all of my games I have more puppets cities than controlled cities, so there are never enough coliseums to satisfy. I could annex all conquered cities and build a courthouse and a coliseum, but that is insanely expensive and isn't really an option. Luxury resources? I have them all already.
So, what do I do? How do you guys deal with ungrateful citizens? Happiness is really ruining the fun of this game!
On a related note, does razing a city destroy all the improvements? I could possibly raze everything I capture, then send settlers to colonize any good tiles I find, as it doesn't hurt happiness as much as puppeting or annexing...
