    If unit unahpiness was reflected by the civ then the units if civ happy is 80% the units would have 20% of them in revolt and unable to move.

    If "HAPPY rich people" existed then the units would have bonuses... correct?

      I'm of this opinion as well, aside from the non-pop workers, SE, and unit workshop, I think most if not all advances made in SMAC will return in Civ3 in identical or enhanced form (for example borders)

      Aside from that, we do know that units are supported through the treasury now, however do we know if units will still have home cities?

        I hope that the home city idea is removed, but that unhappiness from units is still distributed through the cities.

          I second that idea, but with the stipulation that the unhappiness is a percentage of your city size or some mitigating factor. I don't want size 2 cities revolting 10 years after I found them because I haven't built anything in them yet

            Makes sense...the comp should just choose one of your content citizens at random and make him unhappy. The big cities have more content citizens (usually), so the unhappiness will probably show up there first...but not always.

              I think the morale idea that DarkCloud mentioned is great. That way if you are culterually, financially and militarily inepted, and you are taken over by a more powerfull and glorious civilization, then a large percent of your troops would become part of the attacking civ after the city is taken over, and a few units might flee to a nearby friendly city. However, if YOU are the most glorious civ, yet manage to have one of your cities taken over then your units would have much higher moral and thus would not port to the conquoring civ...this would mean that most/all of your troops from the conquored city would flee to nearby friendly cities to form a counter attack. Or, they might disappear temporarily, only to speratically come back and fight (see next paragraph as to why)

              Firaxis already said that it would be harder to maintain a city if it was captured (i interpreted this as more revolts after a city is captured) - in which case maybe your units that were in the city would come out from the undergroud hiding and attack the foriegn trioops currently in the city. Therefore if the attacking nation comes in with an army of say 6 attackers and 6 defenders, then after winning they leave 1 defender in the city and move to the next city...like a swarm (or something) quickly demolishing a civilization. In this case, your old units help the citizens fight back and would have a serious upper edge. And if you happen to have more/better units that the conquoring nation left in the conquored city at that time, then you would beable to over take the city again. Of course, since your troops would have gone 'undergroud' then the would 'seem' as if they disappeared temporarily, until the revolt takes place.

                Home cities should remain- soldiers have to come from somewhere... unless a small part of the population of each city is taken out and made into an army.
