Oh Yeah!

I ve been paying attention to the factors that make my people happy after having to deal with really irritating war weariness issues and noticed the "OH YEAH" happiness factor ...Does anyone know any details about it?...like how do i get the "OH YEAH" bonus.
Also is it always going to be +4 happy faces and if not which factors affect this?
My assumption is that it is a bonus granted for having the largest empire or being #1 in military or sth like that but i don't know for sure...

Well I know that when you add happy bonuses with a python script, they come out as "OH YEAH"

I'd be very interested in situations from normal games that contain OH YEAH happiness, as it would be helpful to know what scripted happiness bonuses might clash with.

I ve been reading around but these are my first posts here so i just figured out how to add a screenshot to show this oh yeah thing in action.
I have not edited anything in the game (python or xml stuff) so this makes it a normal game right?
The game is in prince difficulty...

Happiness from culture slider?

PS: desert on riverbank? Is it from global warming?

[fani]

Culture slider was raised during the last few turns to combat war weariness...i hate not working citizens and starvation due to that...Been at war for many years under fascism and i ve built mt rushmore but have no jails anywhere yet...besides i am not in a hurry to research anything at the moment...

yeah global warming has been an irritating aspect of my nuclear wars...as much as the fact that most of my nukes dont hit target most of the times beacause of the F***** SDI thing...

I've got a desert tile on a river in my current game and it's been there since 4000bc. Rare, but they do exist w/o global warming.

Just looking at the minimap, Fani, I'd say you've got that game won! Is Domination turned off or something?

No domination is on...i was close to the required land area percentage when i took the screenshot...won the game after a few turns.
Anyway back to the subject...I've seen this "OH YEAH" happiness factor in previous games and as far as i can remember it was there when i was playing aggressively.
So maybe it's a bonus for successfully waging war or sth like that...

Could it be from Hit Movies, Hit Singles, Hit Musicals etc?

[Jamski]

Its from Future Tech. You have Future Tech 4 (I can see you're researching FT5) Each FT adds +1 happiness. OH YEAH!

[jeremy885]

I'm glad they finally added some value to the future tech. I wish they would give you a choice in where you could research, i.e. health, production military strength, etc

[Diadem]

No, it's not from future tech. I'm 100% sure on that.

Future techs give a "from civilization" or something line. Environimentalism and the +3 from genetics add to this line as well. So it'll often show as +10 when you have only 1 future tech

[Jamski]

I'm 100% sure its from Future Tech, as I just ran a game into Future tech to check literally moments before posting.

I guess Future Techs unlock the secret of Kool-Aid Man.
