Happy Faces?!?!?!

[RuSki]

I have a question... not sure if its a bug... but here goes:


I've got a city with population 12. Level Monarch.

Happiness Improvements: Temple / Colossium / Cathedral

Wonders: Hanging Gardens

Laxuary Resources: Silk, Incense

Government: Monarchy

Garrison: 1 Pikeman, 1 Spearman

Entertainment Level: 0%


Now the problem is that for some reason the city has 5 happy citizens even though it should only have 2. Is there something I'm missing or is there a major logic bug?

Also if anyone is having the same problem please post.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have a market place and some lux resources? If so that will do it, depending on how many luxs are available.

[RuSki]

errrrr.... thanks but i dont think you read my post proply.

Laxuary Resources: Silk, Incense

Has another Civ declared war or done a sneak attack recently? This results in extra happy faces.

[RuSki]

please explain.... if u can off course...

[GeneralTacticus]

I presume you are familiar with War Weariness? If another Civ declares war on you and/or launches a sneak attack, it causes War Weariness in reverse, that is, it makes people happier. This might explain the three extra happy faces you're seeing.

[RuSki]

oh... ok... well that might explain it... could there be any other couses?

[GeneralTacticus]

Not that I know of.

Does'nt the Hanging Gardens give extra happy faces for a time, Im sure it does.

[Cian McGuire]

Yup. Three in the city it's built in, and one everywhere else on that continent.

Hanging Gardens and any other wonders or improvements only add content people, not happy. Luxuries, luxury rate, and entertainers are the only things that can make a person truely 'happy'.

I just ran a test in the debug mode and added the Hanging Gardens and all those other improvements to a city, yet still had 0 happy people.

I bet you had some entertainers in the city.

[Cian McGuire]

It's only content? I though it was happy, and the Oracle and Shakespeare, in particular, was content. Hrm.

[Crostoneman]

What is the exact level of your happy, content, and unhappy citizen?

[RuSki]

lol... most of you people are more n00b then me... its prolly war weariness. I am still to test it.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

The Hanging Gardens makes three content people happy in the city where it is built and one other in all other cities including those on other continents/islands.

Ruski if you had two happy citizens prior to building the Hanging Gardens then you would gain an extra three happy faces converted from contented upon completion.

I can only assume you built this wonder in the city in question where you have the five happy faces. If you check your manual or the in game civilopedia you can see for yourself the effects of all great and small wonders.
