Anyone play this game? I recently bought the gold edition of this game I've been playing it quite a bit. I can't seem to figure how to keep your citizens happy and healthy from midgame to endgame, anyone know a good strategy?

Yes, I've been playing the game too, but only two times so far (not the scenarios, but a "normal" game).

I didn't have problems with keeping citizens happy, and I used the same methods as in the original game. So it's hard to tell why your citizens were unhappy ... did you play on a very hard level? IIRC, I played on the 3rd easiest level.

In my games, the "normal" means of keeping citizens happy worked: Building the according city improvements, trading a lot for luxury goods. Maybe it could help you spreading more than just one religion, because then you can build more than one kind of temple in the cities.

Well I'm playing on the easiest difficulty setting and I spread religion everytime I get a chance. I have a hard time figuring out where I can build farms at, but other than that I can't figure it out either.
