War Weariness


§ If you are engaged in a protracted War, then "war weariness" may begin to make your citizens unhappy. The section on Happiness discusses in depth the effects of unhappiness and how to deal with it, but here are some special rules about war weariness.

Captured Cities


§ If you have captured a city from another civilization, the captured city is much more susceptible to war weariness while you're fighting that civilization. This effect fades over time as you fully assimilate the city into your culture.

Fighting War Weariness


§ There are a number of ways to limit the effects of war weariness. The most obvious way is to make peace; that stops the unhappiness immediately. If that is not feasible, then you can build Jails to reduce war weariness or adopt the Police State civic to completely eliminate war weariness. You can also devote a greater percentage of your civilization's commerce to the Culture Button (enabled with the Drama technology) to help increase the happiness of your citizens.
