Help on Governor

[Tried the search but couldn't (easily) find an answer.]

I am playing this game where all the victory conditions have been turned off, and I am just milking the score for a personal record after having conquered the world. Normally I play small/standard, but now the map is large etc. So to speed up the process I am using the governor (I care about the PB but not that much). Anyway the governor sets all the spare people in the big cities to taxman even to the extent that some cities that could be completely happy, now contain some content or even unhappy citiziens! I have told the governor to manage the mood and to emphasize food, but that is all I can think off. I know this is a very marginal question but the fact that I cannot figure it out is starting to bother me. So does anybody know how to get the city governor to make all of my citiziens happy? (if possible)

There may be a way; however, I think your situation is fairly realistic. What governor can make all of his people happy? Certainly not Paris'!

I agree, but I think he's asking for a method for the governor set not working (spare) citzens in the city to entreteiners enough to make all citzens happy as much as possible.
I think the gorvernor algorithm was implemented to avoid revolutions, setting working citzens to entreteiners.
But after the citzens have no more tiles to work, the governor set them almost always to taxman. Maybe firaxis have realised that doing that, you'll have more money to luxuries, as science, so there will be no need to more entreteiners ou scientists.

Bite the bullet and move the luxury slider off of zero. The mood governing just prevents revolution as far as I have seen.

OK. Thanks for the answers. It is good to know that it seems to be the case that I cannot get it to work the way I want it to work, because it is not possible. I can thus give up trying and (indeed bbaws) move the luxury slider. Regarding Paris, I think CivIII is not realistic. Moreover if France would have all the luxuries in the world and 10% luxury tax and all the happiness wonders (including the in the real world yet to be discovered "cure for cancer") and enough spare citiziens that COULD be turned into entertainers than they might actually all be happy.

If you have a ton of war weariness, you will have a rough time keeping the citizens happy. Remember WW does not go away the day you stop the war.

Warwariness is not the problem I eliminated the rest of the world as a monarch. It was just a stoepid detailed how to get 'we love the president day' without actually making entertainers of the spare citiziens myself, but rather letting the governor turn the spare guys from taxmen into entertainers.

Only set governor preference to keep happy. Otherwise preference is divided. Instead of present On/Off preference we need a value scale for governor. 8=happy, 2=food. Until that is available, drop food. Governor emphasizes food by default.
