Theaters are likely too big to be worth it, unless you are absolutely sure you will not need the space. (If you do want to provide lots of entertainment to an area and don't mind wasting even more space, you may want to consider a Colosseum.) Arenas, odeums, and taverns are good alternatives. If you will need to provide high entertainment to a large number of citizens, you may also consider building the Circus Maximus somewhere where it will be out of the way, since it will increase your entertainment percentage by 20 on the entire map. | Theaters are likely too big to be worth it, unless you are absolutely sure you will not need the space.

== Bathhouse === | |||
Bathhouses must be staffed by patricians, so the combined size of a bathhouse and a villa is rather large. Nevertheless, if you want to have a villa anyway (perhaps to fulfill a "build N villas" objective), a bathhouse is not a bad choice. Otherwise, an arena is much more efficient (but uses up slaves). | Bathhouses must be staffed by patricians, so the combined size of a bathhouse and a villa is rather large.

The Colosseum may not be particularly useful. It will provide 100% entertainment to everyone near it, but it is such a huge building and its range only extends so far, plus it's so expensive. You can generate 100% entertainment with a few buildings in a smaller space (though, aside from an arena, you will have to have people, most likely equites or patricians, staffing those buildings), especially if you build the Circus Maximus, which, though larger, can be built out of the way and benefits your entire city. | The Colosseum may not be particularly useful.
