Why do buildings burn down or collapse?

Most buildings need to be inspected by Inspectors' Towers to avoid fires or collapse. When an Inspector passes the building the risk of fire/collapse decreases but will slowly increase again so you need to make sure they pass the buildings regularly. You can use the Hazards Overlay in the Safety panel to see your risk. The risk of fire/collapse increases at higher difficulty settings.

Which buildings don't need to be inspected by Inspectors' Towers?

Those that don't need to be inspected are all the buildings under the Agriculture Ministry except for fishing wharfs, forts, walls and towers, Monuments, guilds and laborer camps and all Aesthetic structures.

I've noticed sometimes Wells, Inspectors' Towers and Watchtowers look different, what does that mean?

If the surroundings are desirable enough Wells, Inspectors' Towers and Watchtowers will upgrade. Upgraded Wells deliver cleaner water and help city health, upgraded Towers put out 2 walkers instead of 1.

How do I get rid of the Disease Carriers who are walking around my city?

You need to improve City Health to stop them occurring. Acupuncturists, herbalists, food quality and water quality all contribute to the overall health of the city. The herbalist has the largest impact in combatting disease and also will clear disease carriers off the street it he passes them on his walk.

Do musicians/acrobats etc need to pass my housing like entertainers did in the other Impressions city building games?

No the actual entertainers don't need to pass your housing instead they put on shows in the Marketplace. An Entertainment Announcer from the Marketplace walks around announcing shows; when he passes your housing they will have access to the shows currently on in the Marketplace.

Why didn't I get offered gifts for my Zodiac year?

Because you didn't hold a festival
