Civilization II Hints

Shakespeare's Theatre

  • Cost: 300 Shields

    Prerequisite: Medicine

    Effect: All unhappy citizens in the city are made content.

    Effects do not expire.

    If you have serious problems with city morale (and I stress the word SERIOUS -- not just 1 or 2 unhappy people), then this might be worth it (again I stress the word MIGHT -- Michelangelo's Chapel or J. S. Bach's Cathedral would be better for that purpose anyway). And any of these Wonders is only 100 Shields more expensive. Build this only if you're desperate and have no better cure.
