Just rechecked happiness.txt, and Neutrals get the same benefit from troops as the other two types. Ships overhead don't do jack, though (no help, but they don't tick people off either). Phoenix-D is right about the rest, though.

I suggested some time ago creating a new 'Neutral' type that was a true middle ground between peaceful and bloodthirsty. My quote from the Quibbles thread:

quote:

Maybe the "Neutral" happiness type should be renamed "Isolationist", and make a new "Neutral" type that combines happiness elements from both Peaceful and Bloodthirsty (though will lesser effects). So, Neutrals would get marginally happy from treaties, battle victories, etc.



Judging from happiness.txt, it should be possible to create a fourth type, but has anyone actually looked into creating a new hapiness type (and keeping it balanced)?

Phoenix-D's post came up while I was writing mine up, and I just saw his reply.
