or at least content. :\

I have 2-3 cities(out of ~20-30) with only one unhappy citizen(foreign) in them, so I have too make a entertainer out of it.
I've tried making temples,cathedrals and fill the city with my own settlers but NO.. all my own people get unhappy too and I need to make them all entertainers.. and the result is starvation after that

they complain about that I've been cruel to them (100%).. if that helps. lol

What the heck Im I supposed to do..

ps. Wonder if this forum still works or are active.. I'll take my chances

Hurrying production through forced labour and drafting units makes citiens unhappy. It's not that he's foreign, it's that you're not treating them properly imo.

Im pretty sure I haven't used forced labor on those city's(Im in communism though).But I did use a leader in one of them to build temple and a cathedral to try out if that help.

And Im pretty sure I have not drafted from those citys eighter.(too little people in there )
If I've done that they would have complained "No more draft!Hell,no,We won't go!" I even think one of the cities have always had only 1 citizen. All of those cities have been captured so therefore have a foreign guy in them.
the complainment is "We can't forget the cruel oppression you have bore down upon us."

Is the only option to give up the city and start a new one.

btw.. can I abandon a city right away?
I figured one way where I make a worker or settler with one citizen in town, then when that one is ready (after 10-20 turns )I get a question if I want to "wait" or abandon the city :\

ps. I looked in the advisors screen and it showed me 38.0 in the happy/content face column for one city.. lol is this a bug after all? ds.

Nevermind about the abandon city.. found it.

Today I got another city that went totaly unhappy after a "celebrate the king day" ended.. I loaded a previous save and the city had only my own folks and where 70% happy and the rest content.. now they are ALL unhappy..
No drafts or forced labor during that time..

Is this a bug or is it supposed to work like this????
or anyone seen this happend too?
Geez..Im getting nuts with this..

What difficulty are you on? The lower ones shouldn't have any unhappy people in it until you reach an uber-high population.

Warlord.. so its pretty low

I'm curious, the city you have, was it taken from an opposing nation? Computer AIs use forced labour and drafting all the time, especially right before you're about to capture a city, so that might play into it. Another thing might simply be the government type you have going (Fascism is a no-no in the early stages of the game until you have enough supplement luxury goods).

Those cities I mention in the first post are all taken from an another nation,yes. Those had the usual resist too,but was easy to get rid off.

But the later posts unhappy city was built from one of my own settlers and only filled with own folks.There were a rival city on that spot, but I razed it and built this one instead(trying to avoid the same problem). Its very near a hostile capital city thou, but over 50% of the people in that city was happy and the rest content and now just in ONE turn ALL turned unhappy and looks impossible to make content again.. :\

There are like 4-5 different luxuries available to the city.

I tried to reinstall the whole game but still same thing with the same save-files.

I think I gonna start a new game and see if it happends again.. sigh,been playing this one since July lol..ok, not everyday but..
Been reading the manual and it does say that a temple makes one unhappy citizen content.
That should turn the ONLY citizen to content IMO.. but no.
Somehow this feels like something is corrupting the game or the savefiles or something.

Now I studied it more.
Now Im 99% sure this is a bug or something corrupts the game.

In the advisorscreen it shows how many happy/content faces your improvements produce in a particular city.
Those numbers are wrong on the affected cities.
The problem is that they show 0 content faces even if I have improvements that produce content faces such as military police,temple,cathedral..
Luxuries does only give happy faces so they don't affect unhappy people. One happy face change one content to happy.

What I need is content faces that change unhappy to content but the advisor shows for example 9.0 that means I have 9 happyface-"points" and 0 content "points" with are false in this case.
I do see the icons that have the content(orange)face in there but somehow the files been corrupted for sure.
And finding the numbers in the savefile is over my head lol so I guess I have to start all over.. darn, I was doing so good.

YES!

Get high culture, and build marketplaces and add water--I mean luxuries.

Build wonders which affect your entire empire, and in some cases turn up luxury on the domestic page.

The culture thing always works for me. I took a Roman city and everyone resisted, but my "in awe of" culture turned him happy in one turn...or maybe it was two...

can you destroy your own city if there are enemies outside it and it is valuable?
