Get as Much Happiness as You Can
Boosting Happiness is key to maximizing Rizal’s extended Celebrations. Improve tiles with Happiness, construct Happiness Buildings and Wonders, and research Civics that enhance Happiness to keep the bonuses flowing.
What Does Happiness Do and How to Increase It
Focus on Culture and Gold
José Rizal thrives on Culture and Gold, thanks to Pambansang Bayani. Prioritize Cultural advancements, build Gold-generating infrastructure, and take advantage of Narrative Events to fuel both your economy and cultural dominance.
Avoid Wars Unless You Need To!
José Rizal isn’t all about war — he’d rather fight with ideas and culture than swords and cannons. Declaring war or getting declared on builds up War Weariness, which stacks up like bad debt, draining Happiness the longer the conflict drags on. Keep the peace, and let your Gold and Culture lead the charge instead!
Only go to war if there’s no other choice - like when you really need more land. Just make sure you’ve stockpiled enough Happiness to keep your people from hating you for it.
What is War Weariness and War Support?
Pay Attention to Narratives
Narratives aren’t just flavor text — they’re goldmines of rewards. And since José Rizal gets more Narratives than anyone else, each one is an opportunity to stack up extra Culture and Gold. Don’t ignore them — your victory might just be one good story away!
Try to Befriend Everyone
Make a lot of friends! ! Secure friendships with other Civs through trade deals, local festivals, and cultural exchanges to keep the peace. Aim to become the Suzerain of as many independent powers as possible - after all, José Rizal is a diplomatic leader, and a well-connected one is an unstoppable force!
Pick the Right Mementos
Some Mementos are just nice, but others are game-changers for José Rizal. Look for ones that boost Happiness, Culture, or Gold to supercharge his strengths. Ophthalmoscope (when you unlock it) is a must-have for even longer Celebrations, and Incense Censer turns Trade Routes into Culture fountains. Choose wisely, and let the good times (and bonuses) roll!
