Happiness Buildings

[jsberry]

Does a university make your entire population unhappy, or just the province it is in?

Likewise, does a pleasure garden affect the whole empire or just the area?

Thanks

As far as I can tell they are province specific.

The pleasure palace definitley only affects the region in which it is. I'm not sure if or to what extent "clamour for reform" can figure in settlements without a school/college/university, it would depend on government type and techs though.

Clamor for reform affects only regions with the university line of buildings. It will not affect other regions.

All buildings have regional effects. AFAIK, there isn't a single building with a global happiness/ unhappiness effect.

This is slightly off-topic but is the research bonus from Royal Observatories regional as well?

[Flavius Gonzo]

Miracle -- good question! I would like to know the answer as well!

I am trying to figure out if "specializing" cities (all Civ IV) makes sense in ETW... or if I should just build whatever makes sense at the time when a new town emerges.

The only thing I can figure so far is finding regions with no trade resources to build ship builders is a good idea.

But is it worthwhile to have one region concentrate on schools, and others on workshops? Or better to spread them out?
