Hapiness
Does somebody has a list of all playing levels (per government) regarding to hapiness? To explain more what I am looking for I give just an example (it's probably wrong): Deity with depotism government: 4 size one cities without unhappy people (red hats) Deity with monarchy government: 7...

Question about happiness
I started a new game on Emperor level, and things are going quite well. Keeping my population content is the main challenge so far. According to the manual your first two citizens should be content on Emperor level, and then any extra citizens start out as unhappy. But now one of my cities -...

The Black People
I was playing on the scenario east-wind-rain today as china and noticed that in one of my size 2 cities I had a unhappy person and a lack person. Who are these black people and what do they do?

Notes about formulas:
- Operator % is Modulo Operator. The modulo division operator produces the remainder of an integer division.
- All divisions are integer. The result of the division is truncated towards zero before next operation.
Algorithm
Information about the mood in the city is represented by three values.H – number of Happy Citizens. Teal color.
U – number of Unhappy Citizens (includes Angry Citizens). Red color.
A – number of Angry Citizens (or Very Unhappy). Is included in Unhappy, so it is how much of Unhappy are additionally unhappy. Black color.
The happiness calculation consists of 5 phases. After each phase, values H, U, A are normalized and recorded in array of phases for later use. The normalization procedure will be described at the end.
Phase 0
CRF – Cosmic constant “Riot factor based on # cities (higher factor lessens the effect)” defined in RULES.TXT. Default 14.CSFU – Cosmic constant “City size for first unhappiness at Chieftain level” defined in RULES.TXT. Default 7.
DL – Difficulty Level (0 – Chieftain … 5 – Deity).
So (CSFU - DL) represents city size for first unhappiness at current Difficulty Level.
Note. If (CSFU - DL) is lower than 2 (which is not the case with default values) then if this is the capital and there is no attacking units causing unhappiness and no attacking units in city, then (CSFU - DL) is equal to 2. Again, this rule can be completely ignored with the default cosmic values.
S – City Size.
BU – Base Unhappiness, caused just by the City Size.
BU = S - 1 - ((CSFU – DL) - 2)
RF – Riot Factor.
LM – Large Map (2 if Map X Size * Map Y Size >= 6000; 0 otherwise).
RF = CRF - 2 * DL + LM
G – Government (0 – Anarchy … 6 – Democracy).
GF – Government Factor
GF = G / 2 + 2
GFRF – Combined Factor. Represents maximum number of cities which don’t cause additional Unhappiness due to Number of Cities (UDNC).
GFRF = GF * RF / 2
NC – Number of Cities.
CI – City Index in cities array. From 0 to 255.
UDNC – Additional Unhappiness due to Number of Cities. Communism doesn’t have UDNC.
UDNC = (NC - GFRF + CI % GFRF) / GFRF
Example for Emperor, Democracy, not Large Map (less than 6000).
So as was stated before, GFRF is the maximum number of cities which doesn’t cause additional unhappiness due to number of cities. With GFRF = 15, this can be seen at the row for 15 cities. And at the row for 30 cities (double of 15) all cities have one additional unhappy citizen. Between those, the numbers gradually increase in the triangle-like pattern. And so on. Once you understand this pattern, you can make a table for other combinations of Difficulty Level, Government and Map size.
Now the initial total Unhappiness is equal to:
U = BU + UDNC
By the way, AI’s initial total Unhappiness is always equal to Base Unhappiness at King level:
Uai = S - 1 - (CSFU - 5)
Finally, number of Angry citizens (black) is the surplus of Unhappiness over City Size:
If U > S
A = U - S
U = S
Note. U includes A. This means A is number of Unhappy citizens additionally converted from red to black.
Initial Happiness is zero.
Phase 1
The luxury causes Happiness. Two cups for one H.H = Lux / 2
Phase 2
- Colosseum
-3 U (-4 with Electronics). - Monotheism and Cathedral (or Michelangelo's Chapel)
-3 U
+1 U with Communism
-1 U with Theology - Temple
U = U - dU
+1 dU with Mysticism
+1 dU with Ceremonial Burial
x2 dU with Oracle - Courthouse (or Palace) with Democracy
+1 H
Phase 3
- Fundamentalism
A = 0
U = 0 - Republic or Democracy
k = 1 without Women's Suffrage and Police Station
+1 k for Democracy
Uu = unhappiness caused by units far from city. If non-zero, then for Republic it is reduced by 1.
U = U + Uu * k - Other – Martial Law
Up to 3 units with non-zero Attack reduce unhappiness.
Each of these units lowers U by 1 (2 for Communism), but not below 0.
Phase 4
- Hanging Gardens
+1 H (+3 for city with this wonder) - Cure for Cancer
+1 H - Shakespeare's Theatre
U = 0 for city with this wonder - J. S. Bach's Cathedral
-2 U
Normalization after each phase
F – number of Free Citizens (those who do not work on the map, i.e. - specialists).a) Balance values
C-like:
// Step 1
H = clamp(H, 0, S);
// Step 2
while A && A > U
{
--A;
++U;
}
// Step 3
for (U=clamp(U,0,S); clamp(S-F,0,99)<H+U; U=clamp(U,0,S))
{
if A {
--A;
}
else
{
--H;
H = clamp(H, 0, S);
}
--U;
}
// Step 4
while A && S-F > H+U
{
--A;
++U;
}b) Store H, U, A in arrays at respective index for current phase. It is used, for example, in city window in Happiness Analysis tab.
Comments
As you can see, after each phase, before normalization, sum H + U can become larger than available places in city (S - F). The normalization procedure just balances values and puts them in the boundaries, before finalizing the current phase.However, the underlying algorithm may raise some questions. For example, after phase 1, the value of H appears (brought by luxury). If after that, H and U do not fit in the city in total, then if A is present, the number of A and U simply decreases, creating the feeling that H will replace A. Actually, this is how the well-known A to H conversion glitch (or "happiness quirk") appears. When A is no more, U decreases with H, as if they cancel each other out.
Examples
Let’s examine some extreme cases. Saves attached.Example 1
This simplified example demonstrates happiness quirk when happy citizen displaces angry citizen.Difficulty: Deity.
Government: Despotism.
Not large map: 50x80 = 4000 squares.
Number of cities NC = 24.
No wonders.
City Bapedi with index CI = 2, and size S = 10, without “phase 2” buildings, no specialists (F = 0), with 3 luxury cups.
No units in the city.
Phase 0
BU = 9GFRF = 4
With NC of 24 all cities have the same UDNC regardless of CI.
UDNC = 5
U = BU + UDNC = 14
UUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Because U > S, then
A = U - S = 4
U = S = 10
H = 0
UUUUUUUUUU
......AAAA
Normalization after phase 0
No effectPhase 1
H = Lux / 2 = 3 / 2 = 1 (integer division)HUUUUUUUUUU
.......AAAA
Normalization after phase 1
Step 1No effect. H = 1 is between 0 and S, so it stays 1.
Step 2
No effect, because A < U.
Step 3
Because clamp(S-F,0,99)<H+U (10 < 1 + 10), then there goes one iteration.
Because A <> 0, then:
A = A - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3
Also, each iteration:
U = U - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9
HUUUUUUUUU
.......AAA
Because now condition clamp(S-F,0,99)<H+U is not true, then no more iterations.
Step 4
No effect, because condition S-F > H+U is not true.
At this simplified example further phases have no effect. So, the final picture is:
HUUUUUUAAA
This is what you see on the city screen. Remember that U includes A. Here A = 3 and U = 9 (not 6!). Think of A as a second row of U, as if A were "shading" U standing in front of it. This is important because in most cases A is not taken into account. For example, when deciding whether to put a city into disorder or into WLTKD mode, the A is not taken into account at all.
Example 2
Now let’s extend previous example and add Shakespeare's Theatre to this city.City WITH Shake's but still riot!?!?
I'm currently playing a game on Deity and my city Boston size 8 has build Shakespeare's Theatre and is currently in Civil Disorder?!?! Must be somekind of bug? Or do I miss something here... Never seen this before... I clicked on 'Happy' inside the cityscreen: normal: 6 black 2 red people...

Something weird concerning Shakespeare's Theatre
I play on Deity level, and I have a wonder city. In that city, I have built Shakespeare's Theatre. When I discovered Communism, one citizen in that city became unhappy! How's that possible when I have Shakespeare's Theatre in the city?
forums.civfanatics.com
Before phase 4 we have the same picture:
HUUUUUUUUU
.......AAA
Phase 4
Because of Shakespeare's Theatre in this city, U = 0.H.........
.......AAA
Normalization after phase 4
Step 2While A <> 0 and A > U (3 > 0), convert A to U sequentially. This happens two times.
H.......UU
.........A
Step 4
While A <> 0 and S - F > H + U (10 - 0 > 1 + 2), convert A to U sequentially. This converts the rest of A to U, because there is enough room for H + U.
H......UUU
Now we have the city with unhappy citizens even with Shakespeare's Theatre:
HCCCCCCUUU
