Modifing pop-rush benefits

[player1]

Here are the saves:

21turn, when I'll rush a Num. Merc.

[player1]

40turn, 2 unhappy from rush (1 in 41turn)

Not sure what's going on. I'll try to reproduce my test from yesterday...

[player1]

and 60turn (1 unhappy by rush, 0 at 61 turn)

Well, it looks like the pop-rushing penalty lasts for 20 turns plus the largest number of turns of pop-rushing unhappiness already present. Pop-rushing multiple citizens for the same rush is the same as pop-rushing one after the other for successive 20-shield rushes in the same turn.

For example, if you pop-rush one citizen and you already have 3 turns of unhappiness left in an existing citizen, you get 23 turns of unhappiness for the new unhappy citizen.

Does this sound right?

Well that would explain getting 20 and 40 turn durations.

It's been a while but I don't think it used to work this way. Did they introduce this on purpose, or is it another mistake with C3C?

Strange, I think that's the way how it worked from PtW too.

I always remember AI pop rushed cities returning gradualy to happy status.

But I'm sure it wasn't like that in vanilla (or at least unpatched vanilla).
