    - research burocrasy and build wine press in each town - Danedukenuuk May 29, 07:58 4

    - if you can get the museums up to a stable point where you are maxed at population but still happy, you could leave them alone forever in theory right? -- nm - Gwaahjo May 29, 07:55 4
      - building more troops make your people really happy too -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 29, 07:59 1

        Yes, that's the same thing I want to be able to do. -- nm - Celedhring, European Champion. May 29, 08:06
        
        Yeah, but the equivilant amount of wine multiplied by an infinite amount of hours is much more expensive. -- nm - Ender May 29, 07:51 2
        
        I decided that it wasn't worth it after level 6 - Guigue May 29, 08:00 1
        
        depends on how much you have of either -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 29, 08:05
