Why don't my people love me?

First: Solops has the key to happyness all sorted out. cheers.

Second: I thought it was a pun on the Marshall Laws of Derived Demand, a fundamental principal of economics that any highschool kid should know. SERIOUSLY though, it was obviously a rib on the troops that keep people happy. Marhall, as in the title, who's name is "Law." it was funny. especially the follow up about him not even being able to keep his wife happy.

Third: If the goal is to get the population to breed and be happy, achieving the goal by building troops is possibly the most disturbing thing that I have ever heard. ever. I can just see this main battle tank with its barrel sticking in some poor sod's bedroom window, and the TC on the bullhorn..

Lastly, the easiest, cheapest, not good for anything else, method of making your planets happy: build small troops with a cockpit, and no other components. build lots fast, and people get really happy.
