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?
 
They are double unhappy or really unhappy citizens.They must be made unhappy before they can be made content.Martial law does not work on these guys.

You get these when you exceed certain numbers of cities depending on which government you are in and what level you are playing on.Its an effect of the riot factor in the rules.txt.
 
Luxuries...
2 luxuries make one black guy happy, while you need 4 luxuries to make one red guy happy, so they're just another type of unhappy guys.:)
 
I know all about the "quirk" of "reverse martial law"..Theres a new term for ya :)

One thing at a time.Its disconcerting enough the first time you see a blackhead ;)
 
how moving a unit out of a city will make a content/unhappy to a happy/unhappy state.It is a reverse martial law in effect.It only works with The Gardens so it is a quirk of the wonder.

My original statement that martial law does not work on black faces is correct.
 
Well if you can't quell the rebelion with marshall force than the rebels will just have to die.
 
The Gardens acts like an elvis on a city. Now, if you have a troop in the city it might make a very unhappy citizen unhappy. Then adding the elvis effect will make it content. But taking the troop out the city removes the martial law effect, making that citizen very unhappy... the hanging gardens elvis effect thus makes the person happy.

Simple as that.
