So my main town has a town hall size of 9 now.. It seems that i can have 630 ppl but im grown so so slowly. how can i increase my growth speed? Im having issues getting resources and balancing money right now. currently to stock up on resources i have set everything to high so im loosing like 650 gold an hour. I can balance it back down to gaing like 50 gold and hour and making some modest holdings but the rate is so very slow. Is it always so very slow?

Housing space: 346/630
Growth: 0.78 per Hour

Upgrade your Tavern and Museums and you will increase your growth. Make sure you have a steady supply of wine.

cg_ growth rate of your citizens is linked their happiness level.

Negative Happiness Factor:

Corruption
#Number of Citizens (each citizen is -1 to happiness)

There are two ways to increase happiness.

One is to build a tavern

Another is to Build a Museum.


Taverns are only available after researching wine press which is in the Economy Tree

Museums are only available after researching Cultural Exchange which is in the Science Tree.

Taverns require a hourly supply of wine. EG a level 1 tavern will drain 3 wine per hour, and so on. Each level of a tavern satisfies 80 citizens.

Museums require cultural treaties, you can make cultural treaties with other people by clicking diplomacy to send a msg, clicking the message options, and selecting “cultural treaty”.

Then you can redistribute the good (they aren’t implemented when the other person accepts them, you have to distribute it) along your colonies as each colony requires individual cultural goods. Each good gives +50 happiness.

My guess is that your tavern isn’t producing enough wine to keep your citizens “happy”. To fix this upgrade your tavern/museums. Hope this helped!

Luckyshot also said to have a steady supply of wine, this is crucial, you dotn want to be drainig 42 wine per hour, and suddenly having no wine left, you'll have a practical riot on your hands :P

I dont have much wine so I had to stop giving it. No one around me is stilling it right now in a 4 island radius. thats one thing I really dont like so far in this game, ppl that are on the islands dont atleast have some of the rare stuff up for sale. Ive been putting sulfer and marble up in small quantities when i can but no one around me will sell any wine.

ya i dont have musumes yet. Ill swap over to the science tree now. i have been upgrading my taverns seeing how it looks like having a higher lvl tavern gives u some happiness even when you don't give them wine.

People you know. You can do cultural treaties with anyone, but you might have some dink spam you treaties, back out later and leave your citizens pissed.

It used to be that you could only make cultural treaties according to how many open spaces you have left.

Now you can have unlimited so just spam everyone for a cultural treaty

@ cg_

Yes they added in 2.1 that every upgrade a tavern/museum gives +12 happiness
