Town Happiness: The level of happiness in your town directly impacts the success of your settlement. If the level of happiness drops down too low, people will start leaving and new Settlers will not want to move to your town. Some of the things that can lower Town Happiness include overpopulation, plague, drought, famine, natural disasters, drunks, bandit attacks and lack of attention to your Settlers needs.

To improve the morale of your townsfolk, try adding some luxury items to your town such as Flower Pots and Statues. Also, constructing some higher level buildings, like Saloons and Banks can help raise the level of happiness.
