Does homeworld riot?
 

I have been told that homeworlds will riot but I have done everything and they are still only angry. So is there way to make them riot? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Your empire's natural happiness has a big effect, as do troops on the planets, ship in space over the homeworld, ships in the home system, etc etc etc.

Did you try firing on your own ships?

I have tried out many things. I have modified happiness file "Our Troops on Planet := 100" and then built planet full of troops. I have plagued the planet, killed hundreds of millions of people and kept dozens of other empires' ships on its orbit. Always only angry.

I think what Pvk was trying to say: When you create your race, under characteristics/happiness, you can reduce your race's natural happiness down to 50%.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes I can but that doesn't explain why homeworlds don't riot. So anyone remember seeing homeworld rioting?

Re: Does homeworld riot?
 

i seem to remember homeworlds rioting. im not positive about it, though.

I think it had to do with large numbers of other colonies being destroyed, or obscene numbers of enemy forces in system, or blocading.

but i could be thinking of other large planets, or confusing it with homeworlds being blocaded. its been a while, and my memory isnt all that great.

I've seen homeworlds riot. I can't remember the situation that caused it but I know they rioted because they were my homeworlds.

I should run some tests to find out if they riot or not... I shall return...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ok, back... Just ran some turns with a couple empires in one lone system. I made both races with a happiness reduction and then I built some warships and blockaded some of the planets. (3 planets start for all empires) I could not get the planet to riot, all I could get out of them was Angry and Unhappy.

Hmmm, I wonder now if it was my home planets that were rioting that game. I could've swore it was... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Homeworlds will riot. They seem to have a built in bonus to resist rioting, but they will eventually riot.

Hmmm ya I remember my homeworld rioting once, but it was before Gold.
