Riot Control for Neutral Races (Summary)
 

Riot Control for Neutrals.
Thx to everyone. So here is the plan, I will report back when I see how it goes.

1. I have 22 rioting planets. Lets assume they are all at 100 for happiness
2. Turn one - break Trade Treaty (-100, but limited to -20 for one turn). All colonies at 80
3. Turn two - Offer non-intercourse treaty (-100, but limited to -20 for one turn) All colonies at 60.
4. Turn three - now that I can get some production (angry), I will build 5 troops on each. (-10 per turn just in case)
5. Turn four - Get troops or something else to planets that have additional problems such as enemy in system.

Re: Riot Control for Neutral Races (Summary)
 

Actually had 38 planets rioting. Followed the steps listed and was down to 2 riots after 3 turns. I did not attack anyone during these turns either.

Still have some riots later in the game, from 2-11 planets.
