Hello everyone,
I have been playing civ for years but never really progressed but am now trying harder levels. So I am playing king difficulty and have just conquered the Egyptian capital which I annexed. However, it has a population of 21 and tells me that resistance will be for 20 turns or so. Thus, I do not understand. I am struggling for gold and happiness and the last thing I need is all this unhappiness. I have enough money for a courthouse so figured I may have a couple of turns of resistance and subsequent unhappiness, but 20 turns of it will screw me. Especially as I really want to wipe out the Egyptians before they win a cultural/social victory, but if I take another city then my happiness will plummet below -10! And there are two more cities after that.
Thus, could someone please explain how I have messed this up? And how one is supposed to capture several cities quickly without ruining ones own civ through unhappiness and lack of gold?
Does one really have to go through that many turns of resistance? I had hoped to capture a city with a big population but after 23 turns it will be zero (well.......I presume I will be left with 1!).
Thank you all for any and all help.
