    WLTK Days.... What exactly do they do in this game?

    In my games I seem to constantly have access to anywhere from 3 to 7 luxuries at a time due to trading. This causes my cities to go in and out of the We Love the Kind Day quite often. In civ2 you got extra trade or a pop boom. In SMAC it was +2 ind, +2 growth, and +2 commerce. You would think after seeing it enough in civ3 I would know what it does, but I can't see that it does anything at all in any government. Would someone please tell me what it does!

    Thanks

      WLTKD provides a few benefits:

      1) The chance of a city converting to another civ are halved.
      2) The corruption and waste in a city is reduced, effectively increasing the city's shield output.
      3) The effectiveness of propaganda missions against the city are reduced.

      The conditions required for a city to enter WLTKD are:

      1) No starvation in the city
      2) No resistance in the city
      3) No unhappy citizens in the city
      4) There must be more happy citizens than content ones
      5) The city must be large enough. This number is exposed in the editor, and defaults to a size 6 city.

      I don't think I missed anything...?

        Hey Dan,

        Aren't you suppose to have been transferred out of here by now? Like, hand the site volunteer work to a lesser mortal and move on to bigger and more important responsibilities?

        Was under impression you got a 'promotion' of some kind. Congrats.

          Just out of interest, why did they change the WLTKD from Civ 2? I think that Civ 2's WLTKD was much better as it had government-specific benefits which added to the gameplay a lot, in my opinion.

          Just to satisfy my curiosity, why did they change it from gov-specific things?

                  I'm pretty sure I have seen WLT?D when the number of happy citizens was the same as the number of content citizens.

                      Been using the same alias since I went online for the first time about 15 years ago. I chose it more or less randomly.

                        You first went online in 1987??

                          It doesn't stike me as strange -- I was active in dial-up BBS's in 1984. Although it might not conform to your concept of 'online', I might use that term.

                          Peace
                          I'm not sure I understand all the complaining--the game is highly customizable.

                            I'm sure. # happy >= #content will trigger wltkd. & positive or zero growth with no unhappy people of course.

                            On a side note, like Seth, I started hitting bbs's sometime in '85 or '86. I was a big TradeWars fan. So I can believe being 'online' for 15 years... DARPA net goes back @ least that far anyway, not that I was ever on that. But some people were.

                            Btw, what game is the screenshot in your sig from?

                            Thanks,

                              Civilization Call to power. Much better than Civ3 I think (That will attract flames I bet )

                              Anyway. I play Email games with other people,. And it is the capital of the Great Assyrian Nation in my Another World PBEM!
