[Atrocities]

I for one never fiddle with the happiness or environmental settings. To risky in the event an enemy fleet takes one of your worlds.

Troops are great, but you need a whole hell of a lot of them, as well as ships in orbit, and UPC III to keep the peace if you use a lower happiness setting.

I agree, a strongy worded warning should be included with any info governing the reduction of happiness to gain points.

Basically put, playing with happiness is bad mojo IMHO.
