Balancing Race Construction

[LostCommander]

How can you tell that troops make pop happy (other than through observation) and how can you change it? Thanks

SE4/Data/Happiness.txt

For each happiness type, the line:

Our Troops on Planet := -2

Set to 0 to remove the effect. As you can see, the only compromise is to halve the effect, so it's not possible to just make it a minor effect.

Yes they do. Stick 140 or more small troops on a planet. It will probably never riot again.

Troops maybe, although I think you can still see a temporary hit that will be signifigant, and say 150 small troops x 200 planets = 30,000 small troops, which is a lot of resources and construction time and planetary cargo room, which an Emotionless race could be devoting to other things.

Only takes 4 or 5 turns to build enough on most planets. Same build rate as a high-tech BB.
