    This is Celt Centurion.

    When I come into a town I have just taken over, I "usually" destroy whatever temple they have, and build my own. Warning, sometimes this results in an immediate getting thrown out on my buttocks.

    I have also noticed that buildings such as "secret police" headquarters and the like actually have a negative effect on public order when it's not part of my own technology.

    Taverns and the like from the barbarian cultures tend to result in "drunken" governors, no matter which faction they are from. I do without them, and often destroy them as well.

    The only building along that line which I usually leave intact is the Greek influenced Odeum, Lyceum, Theater, whatever. I'm sure you got the point.

    This may shock a few people, but usually, an Arena, or Coliseum does NOT help when I am playing a Roman faction. It just gives the "citizens" another excuse to riot if they are not having games often enough. This may shock a few people, but if I take a city from another Roman faction, the second building I destroy is the arena or coliseum. As a result, there are actually fewer riots.

    There have actually been occasions when the "public order" symbol had a blue or red face, and when I destroyed the arena/coliseum, it usually turned yellow, and a few times, GREEN!

    Just thought I would share that.

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.

    I am going to have to try that.

    yea i do this all the time.

    It has a two pronged effect. You make peaseants at a huge city that has more than 24000 population, and you are thereby reducing its squalor. And at the same time, you can send these peasents anywhere. Most likely, barbarian towns with populations of like 400. I send armies of 7 peasent units. I know thats over 2000 men, and that will upgrade a barbarian town. At 240 per unit at "huge" setting of course.

    Usually, playing as Julii, patavium gets a high population fastest, so I start that city as my "peasent producing machine" basically.

    Also, after I take over barbarian towns, when the population is below 2000, I also set tax rating to low, so the population growth is highest. When the pop is below 6000, I set it to normal. Below 12000, high. etc...

    Just think about it logically, and it isnt that hard.
