CAESAR II

Peace: This rating gauges the safety and security of

your population. Also, the larger your population is,

the greater your peace rating can become. On the

Province Level, this means having enough Cohorts to

stop any hostile forces quickly before they can reach your

city! The Barracks and Tower soldiers in your city will

deal with riots and/or invaders, but they will not help

your Peace rating. By the time they are needed, the

rating will already have dropped. Make sure that any

rebel or Barbarian activity is dealt with swiftly and

decisively. Keep up a strong Legion and place your

forts strategically throughout your province. The Peace

rating will fall when a threat appears, but will rise if

the threat is dealt with promptly.

Note: The Peace rating will not apply to City Level Only

games.

Prosperity: The Prosperity rating is a measure of your

financial management skills. It reflects how well you

balance taxation and government spending with the

need to encourage business, industry, and population

growth. A large population, and a large and thriving

economy will bring in more industrial and population

taxes. Do your best to stay out of debt, spend wisely,

and strive for long periods of profitability.

Culture: This rating measures your city’s cultural

richness and diversity. An abundance of Schools,

Libraries, and Hospitals will boost this rating, as will

Gardens and Plazas, Religious buildings, and

Entertainment centers. Population growth also helps

to boost this rating.

Note: The buildings mentioned above will only boost your

Culture rating if they lie within the tax coverage range of a

Forum.
