Unhappiness Oddity

[Gainy]

Was playing as the celts, having a great old time
Absolutely nothing unusual happened, then my capital just went into civil disorder - this confused me.
The last time it grew was about 4 turns earlier, I didn't adjust my luxury slider, I didn't remove any military police, I was in Despotism (so no war weariness), none of my cities had been destroyed, didn't pop rush or anything, didn't change my peace status with any civs, no luxuries were disconnected. I'm just confused...

So does anyone know what caused the unhappiness?

Loss of war happiness? Been at war for a while and the "war weariness" counter finally got to the point where war happiness went away?

That's about the only thing I can think of.

Maybe the population grew and the people were rioting because it was too croweded?

I'm talking to DaveMcW aboot it in the chatroom, and it's definately to do with reverse WW. I have been at war for a while. I wasn't aware there was a counter...

The only thing besides that what it could be is an enemy spearman coming into my territory. Would that have caused it?

I said in the first post that the population didn't grow

Might I suggest reading

for all the information about war weariness/war happiness and how it affects your empire? There's a lot to learn there.

A spear moving in could also have caused a tile shift (which tile a citizen was working), causing a slight loss in commerce, losing one happy face from lux tax. It's certainly possible, if the spear moved into the "fat X" 21 of your capital. Hard to say for certain without a save, but it's possible.

The Spearman wasn't in my capital's radius (the city i'm talking about), it was in a seperate cities' territory.

After reading the WW thread, i'm still unsure. I did lose a unit, which would explain it. But I reloaded to test, and after losing the unit again, my citizens were still in an orderly state. So that wouldn't explain it unless WW is calculated at the end/start of each turn... (nothing has been said aboot it in the thread)

If you click on one of the unhappy citizens, or right-click ( I can't quite remember now), it will show you the reasons for the unhappiness.

not really, those are just standard messages. I would wager that if you clicked on the unhappy citizens in this situation it would give you the overcrowding situation.

That was badly phrased. I meant "does anyone know what stopped the happiness?"

Maybe your propogana office issued offical photographs of their ruler. Who would not get depressed when they discovered that they were being ruled by a Scottish Banana

Nothing wrong with a banana republic.


Gb, if you stll got the turn, did you actually have war happiness?Respectively, can you break down the number of happy/content/unhappy faces and then take lux tax (commerce transformed to entertainment in that city), luxs etc into consideration?

I have no comeback to that

Haven't played Civ since, so yeah. But I can tell you without looking anyways

Size 7 city.
Lux slider = 0
Emperor level
3 luxuries, no marketplace
2 military police (despotism)
No happiness improvements

I think that's everything, so it must be to do with Reverse War Weariness. I took everything else into considoration

 

[Grille]

Yeah, seems like you had one arch enemy.
