I'm terrible at keeping my population happy. No matter what I do, they are always pissed off at me.

Tradition opening . Build 4 cities max. Keep food trade routes to the capital. When warring, take one city at a time and burn it down. Dont annex of you want to keep a city. Settle on top a resource not next. Keep an eye on extra luxuries from other civs. Befriend mercantile city states first and foremost. If you are at 1 or 0 happiness select avoid growth and build happiness buildings. If you have a religion try to select pagodas as a benefit (I never bother religions ) . Late game the order ideology is a ton of happiness.


90% of the time is you build too many cities.

I have won on diety with everyone except byzantine...cuz they suck. But they have a great early boat that can farm culture with an honor opening policy


A good newbie civ is egypt. Reroll until you are on a river. On a hill. Next to marble. Build 2 scouts first and try to get as many ruins as possible. Get the wonder building pantheon and go to town.
