2.4 Occupation bug

[Ahriman]

Occupied cities (annex with no courthouse) don't seem to be getting the puppet yield penalties.

This is how Firaxis designed it when they added this part of the mod to the core game. There are two problems with their approach:

• The modifiers apply only to puppet states, not occupied, as you noticed.
• The modifiers are global settings so we can't alter them during an active game. For example, we might want a policy to change the puppet penalties, but can't do this right now.

I've considered returning it to the mod-version of this so we have more control over how it works.

With the dummy building? That's fine.

I think it's important that occupied cities get the penalty. Otherwise the Courthouse barely matters.

I agree with you overall. I believe occupied cities do get a happiness penalty, though that's not as significant as the rest.

I find for most occupied cities that the penalty is ~2 happiness over a puppet (annexing makes my happiness drop by ~2 most of the time).

Doesn't that depend on city size somewhat?
