Illians and War Weariness

[Steven Aus]

When playing the Illians and having completed Ascension, does some of the accumulated War Weariness go away when you defeat a civ you've been fighting for a long time? If it doesn't, I probably won't be able to finish the game as my most powerful city already has 5 more unhappy faces than happy faces, mostly due to War Weariness. Is the gist of it that you have to win quickly after completing Ascension?

I look forward to your reply!

Best regards,
Steven.

If you kill a civ ALL war weariness you've built up against it disappears. Ascension doesn't matter for this.

Is there a way to find out how much War Weariness you are suffering for each opponent?

Best regards,

Mouse over the opponent's name on the scoreboard. You'll see something that says War Weariness: number. How much unhappiness that number translates into depends on a lot of things:

Difficulty level (very small increases as you go up)
How far into the game you are (ramps up very slowly)
Map size (unhappiness gets a LOT worse as maps get smaller. You suffer THREE TIMES as much on a duel map than you do on a huge one, all other things equal)
Population in the individual city (it multiplies, so a 16 pop city gets twice as much unhappiness as a size 8 one)
Civics, buildings, etc that directly modify WW
Half unhappiness if it's a multiplayer game
