What's the exact formula for WLTK?

[Gholam]

What are exact conditions for WLTK to kick off, and what are exact effects? In my current game, I managed to get all 8 luxury resourses, so with a marketplace that's +20 happy faces, occasionally WLTK mode stops for some of my cities... any idea why?

Also, what are exact effects of WLTK? +shields, commerce, -corruption, anything else? I've noticed that workers seem to work faster around WLTKing cities (roads and railroads built immediately on flat terrain for example), but not sure it's connected to WLTK.

I believe what it needs for WLTK day is the following... (in my observation, anyway)

population 6+
2/3 population happy or more, 1/3 content, NONE unhappy.

I haven't confirmed any of this in a "scientific way", but this is what I've noticed. You can't have any unhappy folks or WLTK day won't occur. Because, of course, that one person DOESN'T love the king! Otherwise it'd be "Most of us love the king day" (MOULTK).

The ratio of happy/unhappy may be 1/1 at lower difficulties I think, but I'm pretty sure 2/1 happy/content is the proper ratio.

I haven't figured out what WLTK day does yet... I think I've noticed less corruption, but I can't swear to that.

Hope this helps!

On cheiften it does take more than a 1/1 happy to content ratio though I dont think its 2/1. (3 happy 2 content will do it) but yes it has to be in a time of prosperity for the city and the empire pretty much. I dont have an erxact formula but my cities tend to celebrate WLTC (Chancelor not king) 12 at a time. They last a set number of turns btw doesnt matter how things are going.
