  5. Income and Hapiness calculations

    in Gameplay Discussions

    Posted

    Ok so now I'm completely confused...My 3month b'day was coming up so I went inactive for 9 days, just paying bills with my surplus. Then, on the 90 days I got +3 happiness so I spent the remaining surplus on infra, a bit of tech and a bit of land(what was I thinking?). I kept careful note of happiness income etc. to see the effect of each purchase.. no great surprises. Then I collected my taxes....and my happiness went down 1 point.

    Surely collecting taxes itself doesn't affect happiness?? (And before you ask- I hadn't been messing with the tax rate) :angry:

    Then I thought about pop density. Before my spending spree this was 29... but after buying the infra, the pop increase casued it to go up to 30.... Now I'm sure I've read that pop density can affect happiness, and that 30 was a threshold, but as this hadn't affected the happiness before collecting, I'd assumed that this wasn't true. I'm sure I checked before collecting that the happiness hadn't changed and my collection itself was based on the happiness and income before the 1 point drop.

    • So is the population density affect on happiness only updated by activity?
    • Or have I missed something?
    • Or are admin playing silly buggers with me cos I'm trying to to crack their secret system ;) (only j/k mr. Mod)

    edit-- Just bought enough land to put density below 30, but no effect on happiness - so now I'll wait till tomorrow for collection again.

    Your desired government type/religion changed?
