	Happiness in Apolyton Enter the AD-FREE zone

I'm worried about the happiness of our citizens.

The facts:

Alva has moved away.
W4 will be built next turn.
Apolyton will grow.
We are now at 10% luxuries.

The question:

Has the government taken all these factors into account?

If I'm correct, the 3rd citizen (and onwards) is an unhappy guy. Next turn, we'll have two unhappy people, that can be made content by W4 and 10% lux. Science must therefore remain at 90%.

Will that be enough to discover BW in one turn?

I noticed that we're planning another warrior. I'm sure whether that is a good idea, since Apolyton may grow to size 5, causing even more unhappiness. W5 should then stay in Apolyton for this reason... etc.

Please build a settler ASAP!

Yes, all of this was taken into consideration. Spending 1 gold on entertainment shall not delay the discovery of Bronze Working. The strategic advantage of sending W_Alva along the eastern coast ASAP was higher than the 1 "lost" gold (besides, we gained this "lost" gold back by reassigning the labourer in Apolyton to a coastal tile).

AFAIK, only one warrior shall stay garrisoning Apolyton. Unhappiness at pop 4+ shall be handled by the luxury slider.

Glad to hear it.

However, we're not spending gold to increase happiness, but commerce. And you can't say that we're making up for the "lost" gold/commerce by re-assigning the laborer because we would have done so otherwise, too.

I still hope we can build a settler soon.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

BFM, I think most people are agreed that 2 Warriors before the Settler is the way to go. If you're proposing that we only build 1 Warrior, you're in for a tough battle!

We should be able to research Bronze Working without delay even if we use the Lux slider. The "lost" Gold/Commerce is the price we're paying for building an early improvement and sending our scouts off to explore, but I believe this cost is completely acceptable. I'm glad we got that 25 Gold from the first Hut.

What I meant was that there would be no delay in discovering BW simply because that 1 gold/commerce spent through the lux slider was balanced by getting one more gold/commerce from the coastal tile.

Ah - BFM - when I first saw the title of this thread - I thought it may have been on a different topic.

I know you weren't asking, but I just thought I would inform everybody that I am happy.

Yes, it will cost us some commerce, but it's better than having to go to war and wasting hundreds of shields on that.
