Unless they build ANY facility with a positive happiness bonus, in which case the negative of those facilities is ignored.

Re: AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Better would be a title which reflects the severity in every text message of the event:

Type := Planet - Population Rebel
Severity := Medium
Effect Amount := 1
Message To := Owner
Num Messages := 1
Message Title 1 := Rebellion
Message 1 := MEDIUM EVENT The population of [%PlanetName] has rebelled against us and formed a new nation.
Picture := PopulationAngry
Time Till Completion := 0
Num Start Messages := 0

See why?

EDIT: I have downloaded your 4.1b something eventfile. I am going to change the high/catastrophic events with the text changes above. That should do the trick.

Is it ok with you? I mean, we just need the high/catastrophic titles, right?

Re: AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent
 

PTF, but why change text body from:

Type := Planet - Population Rebel
Severity := Medium
Effect Amount := 1
Message To := Owner
Num Messages := 1
Message Title 1 := Uprising
Message 1 := Insurrectionary forces have overthrown the local Government of [%PlanetName].
Picture := PlanetRevolts
Time Till Completion := 2
Num Start Messages := 1
Start Message Title 1 := Insurrectionary forces
Start Message 1 := New Flash....Uprising is in progress on [%PlanetName]. The local government is seeking Miltary aid.

And not just add Medium or M to a text line?

Using Mild as base, they modify reproduction rates. Each increase in level adds +2 reproduction, save Optimal, which adds 3. Decreases subtract 2, save Deadly, which subtracts 3. Here is a chart (with mild at 10, and assuming I didn't forget a level http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ):

Optimal: 15
Good: 12
Mild: 10
Unpleasant: 8
Deadly: 5

However, Fyron explains it best in next post...
