Quality of Life
Summary
Quality of Life (QOL) refers to the five bars that represent the overall well-being and satisfaction of your population in different aspect of society in that city. From top to bottom:
Happiness - City Production
Health - City Growth
Knowledge - Research Generation
Prosperity - Tax Wealth (bonus hard to see in calc, needs verification on specifics)
Security - Military Strength of units deployed in city. (Not stationed but deployed. Units deployed into this city and then moved elsewhere are permanently tied to the city and the strength bonus/malus they receive will move up and down as the city's security moves up and down.)
Advanced
Overall, the QOLs range from 0 to 100, with each 10 levels providing different debuffs or bonuses as you go from 0 to 100. The numerical range of 41-59 provides no bonuses. On Prince difficulty, there are no bonuses or debuffs to a human player city's starting QOL, defaulting it to 50. These bonuses are typically applied to the base amount of what they are adjusting, not as a final multiplier.
