So I took over an abandoned spot in a PBW game. The empire appeared to be in decent shape, but I think I figured out why the guy quit. I am in the processes of cleaning out some pesky AI colonies in my territory, and I get the message that my colonies happiness is decreasing because of my recent battle victories. So I am pretty sure this means the guy picked the neutral happiness type at game start. Being stubborn and not wanting to quit, I thought I keep at it. Anybody have any experience with this? Will troops work to keep the planets happy as normal, or will that make the people even mroe unhappy? How about lots of ships in orbit? Is everything the opposite of normal, or only the battle thing?
