Unhappiness and uprisings

[Txurce]

I've noticed, as I perpetually find myself mired in unhappiness from the mid-game on, that:

1. The clock for city revolt doesn't seem to reset at 20 turns if you get unhappiness under 20 for a turn;
2. It seems to accelerate if you go over 30 unhappiness; and...
3. Rebels spawn in huge numbers after the mid-game if unhappiness hits -- what? 20? I could have sworn it was somewhere under 20 in my current game. The destruction rebels cause -- especially to a tall, maritime civ like the Dutch, with an effective but modest army -- only sends unhappiness into a spiral. Especially since as long as I don't get unhappiness under control, the rebels keep on spawning.

Do I have my numbers straight? And if I do, shouldn't this be toned down?

We have a thread started about this already and Gazebo is implementing some experiments for his next update. Should be a different kind of balance

Oh, thanks. I looked in the main section quite a while back, and couldn't find any likely-looking threads.

1. You sure? I’m fairly certain it does.

No, I'm not sure. And if there's one area where your perceptual bias is going to mislead you, it's this one! That's why I asked.
