I often read that it's advised to limit growth when happiness limit is being reach, as the unhappy citizens won't work..
I understand that limiting growth (even stopping it) implies getting more commerce or productio by working other tiles.
But I was wondering why not let the city grow naturally and don't bother with the red faces.. If you know there will be a solution to these unhappy citizens in the short or medium term (religion, civic, luxuary resource...), you will profit from the growth you had even if some citizens were unhappy during these turns (they will go immediately to work)...
Iwould say : if I need production and / or commerce now, i limit the growth of the town, but if it's not that critical; I don't bother about limiting it,as I will profit from it later when production and / or commerce may be more critical ?
Don't know if my question make sense; if the answer's already documented; but I'd like to have your ideas/comments
