I got GC2 LONG ago, never played it, because it felt "bland" to me, plus i was playing tons of RTS games.. but now that college is getting more and more serious, i find TBS more and more enjoyable/convenient. So, i bought TA and started to play.
Im not really a fan of tutorials, never have been, rather play and learn =P
But, occassionally, i have questions! So....
I am the altarians, i have my capital with soem ugprades and whatnot, have 2 healing pools, 1 300% food bonus farm (giving me a max pop of 40b people)... but the issue is, even with 35% taxes, i cant seem to keep my peoples approval rates up? 
Any ideas/tricks?
I have both the upgrades for temples-n-such as well...
