Religion in Tropico 5
How to Increase Happiness
Religion is important in Tropico, and it’s always free for your people. You need to keep in mind that not everyone is an atheist on the island, so it’s important to provide churches for your people. It’s recommended that you set the wage for your priests and nuns to the maximum budget to ensure people will want to work these jobs as they may not really be inclined to otherwise. Start with the Catholic Mission, as soon as you can build a Church, replace the mission. Keep an eye on the church and make sure that it’s not getting supremely full. Once it does, you need to build another. Once you finally can build the Cathedral, do so. Keep the amount of placements in your churches and cathedrals to more than your population. For example, churches can hold 200 and cathedrals can hold 400 (without the upgrade to double that). So, if you have 800 citizens, have two churches and one cathedral.
