Hi

I just want to ask what Louis XIV has:
Organised, Creative (like in the Manual) or
Industriel, Creative (like in the game)

And my second question refers to the maintainence of the people in the citys:
I always get bad smileys and when i go for information it says: the city is overcrowded

Now, what must i do (the population is always increasing in my games) ?
Build things which gives you positives smileys ? Is that al i can do?

thanks for your answers !

[G Julius Caesar]

If your city grows too fast, then you will need to address happiness.

The city can grow only to a certain extent before unhappy people outnumber happy people.

This is based on a few factors - yes you could then build (for example) a temple, to get more happy people, but also uses civics (possibly organised religion I think? ) to get an extra happy person in the city/cities. You could also connect your trade to something like furs or gems, which are luxury resources. These all can increase the number of happy people in the city, which in turn mean you can grow in size till happy people equal unhappy people.

This doesn't happen straight away - you need to keep an eye on your growth (as can be done as suggested above using the growth toggle).

Or you can take some of your folk of the land to work as specialists in your city.
