Does homeworld riot?

How about a screenshot? I have a PBW game where my HW rioted, but I don't want to post that.

Stupid 1.67 game...

Edit:
Ok... it seems as if my HW was glassed in that catastrophe that caused those riots. *rollseyes* Guess I'll have to prove you wrong some other way.

Ok... if 9 glassed large HW planets and 300 ships orbiting the Last HW for decades won't drop it below Angry, I don't know what will. Guess I was wrong and HWs don't riot after all.

I had homeworlds riot in a v1.78 PBW. Massive enemy ships in systems. Lost colonies. No ships of my own. etc etc.

Perhaps this is new to v1.84.

At least not 9 glassed large HW planets and 200 ships (ship limit, I didn't remember raise it) orbiting the Last HW 50 turns wasn't enough to drop people happiness below Angry. So perhaps I'm right after all

Well, I emailed MM about this, and here is the response:

Quote:

A homeworld will never riot. Their anger will go up but it maxes out at 80% (where 100% is required to riot). We had to impose this during beta testing because a newly started empire would have its one homeworld riot and that player's game would effectively be over.

A planet designated as your HW cannot ever riot.

But, if the HW is glassed, then recolonized, it can then be capable of rioting, as it is no longer a HW.

I posted that information to the Newbie FAQ.
