Yeap.. happiness depends on which difficulty you're playing.

Settler and Chieftain recieve +1 additonal resource happiness

<ExtraHappinessPerLuxury>1</ExtraHappinessPerLuxury>

(from CIV5HandicapInfos.xml file)
 
That's right... the player has captured Marrakech, but you can still see the Porcelain in the tooltip for the city tile, and when the cursor flashes across the Happiness icon you can just make out that the player is still receiving a Happiness bonus for Porcelain.

Which is unexpected.

Congratulations AriochIV . You are the first non-QA member from the CFC to discover a bug in the G&K ,which is the bug of retaining the happiness bonus of a merchantile city-state after conquering them . If they didn't release such videos,they would have to fix it later by patching .

who says it's a bug? :rolleyes:

given that it's that new, they're very likely to have noticed it by now and decided to leave it like that.

keeping in mind that Mercantile CSs also give other happiness on top of the extra resource.
 
:lol: Thats the first time I have ever heard of finding a bug without playing the damn game!
 
Isn't he playing on chieftain or settler or something?
(I never play on that level, so don't know if lux-happiness is affected that way?)

Yeah, he had 60% bonus against barbs (and not even because of Honor opening, because I think he was taking Liberty. He had the production bonus from the policy after the settler policy, I don't know the names), and those levels do get +5 happiness from luxuries.

And I don't think it is a bug that you keep the bonus of the new resource. It's good there is an incentive to conquer a CS, but not an incentive to conquer them all (other types of CS and the permanent war against others).

I agree, and even though you do seam to be able to keep Jewellery/Porcelain, there may still be an incentive to be a ally instead of occupying it (maybe you can get access to more than one for trade purposes)

And it gives a much needed buff to Mongolia. ;)
 
May I ask where on earth did anybody find "the extra happiness from the Mercentile city state" all it says is +5 from Porcelain, along with sevreal OTHER resources.

the +1 occurs on Settler and Chieftain difficulty.
 
In the screenshot Arioch posted you can also see (below the porcelain), that he's also receiving happiness from Kupfer (Copper) and Krabben (Crabs). So those are luxury ressources, anyone noted that already?
 
Well, it was highly likely because we first saw them from "city demands luxury X" icons on the right side of the screen.
 
I already saw that a couple times
I'm not sure in which thread there was a conversation about it
But it came up because of this video, that after conquering the mercantile Marrakech, the Dutch have porcelain too
You get both the city, and the unique resource
 
I like how it shows the effectiveness of catapults vs cities compared to archers. The trireme is also melee, which we pretty much knew already. It is too bad they don't let us play this demo. Perhaps they think we won't buy the game if we do. The demo found its way to Germany and other foreign countries. They should advertise it via the civ community. We are going to buy it anyway, why not let us try it out?
