A question for the mod community

Is there anyway to mod the game so that civs can only build settlers if all of their cities have reached their happiness cap?

What's a happiness cap?

It shouldn't be hard to do by blocking it in python. Of course, there would be no in-game explanation of why you couldn't build them.


I think think that this might work, but I haven't tried it and there might be a better function to use: in C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Fall from Heaven 2 033\Assets\python\CvGameUtils.py:

Edit: I forgot to say that that should appear within def cannotTrain(self,argsList), obviously after all the variables are defined.

		if eUnit == gc.getInfoTypeForString('UNIT_SETTLER'):
			if pCity.happyLevel() < pCity.getPopulation():
				return True

When I get home from work next friday I'll see what I can do. My reasoning is twofold, I hate how the AI spreads like wildfire at a ridiculous rate and I want to simulate actual migration of people overcrowded in one city moving to found another settlement elsewhere.

Edit: I can't believe I forgot to say thank you. So thanks MC, you rock.
