Does Aristocracy provide local or global happiness per 10 pop?

 

[Browd]

Most social policies are global, but I haven't checked Aristocracy specifically.

Does Aristocracy provide local or global happiness per 10 pop?

I'm 95%+ positive it's global.

At 10 pop, whether it was local or global wouldn't really matter, would it...

It could. It's not uncommon for my size 10 capital to have the following buildings:

Colosseum (2 happiness)
Circus (2 happiness)
Pagoda (2 happiness)
Stone Works (1 happiness)

If the happiness were local, you'd hit the cap.

But I'm pretty sure joncunn is right; Aristocracy is probably global.

 

[Browd]

Most (perhaps all?) happiness from social policies is global.

Thanks for updating this since the latest patch. The switcharound with oligarchy changed a few of my now ingrained assumptions... I have a question on legalism: you suggest building a Monument in the capital. If you do so, will the capital then receive a free amphitheater once you research the relevant tech?

I've been hesitant to build the capital's monument because I thought the free culture building would be wasted if it wasn't available to be built when activating legalism...

 

[Browd]

You would get a free amphitheater. No need to worry about taking Legalism when you already have a culture building. You will get the free amphitheater after the later of (1) taking Legalism and (2) researching Drama and Poetry.

That was only an issue in Vanilla.
