My pacification tactics (that is something that George Bush MUST learn) involve building temples the first thing round, and upgrading them as high as they can go, and queuing peasants to the max to keep order high, unless I need to train troops upon which I retrain and fill up the queue with peasants. Only after the completion of a temple (not a shrine) will I remove the peasant queue. Works everytime.

And yes, Krauser, I do that all the time, though I indeed hope that there could be a transmigration function in the game. It is very useful when I need to rush-upgrade a city in a hurry to get shipwrights or something. Makes it a lot more convenient.
