Squirel Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hello, I keep getting events that want me to pick between citizen income and happiness I know income means you get more money in taxes, but what does happiness effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Fire Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Happiness effects money. 1 happiness is the equivalent of just under $2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilcroft Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Happiness effects money. 1 happiness is the equivalent of just under $2. Nope - Happiness-to-income varies based on tech level, wonders/improvements, and other factors. Typical range for one happiness is between $2.5 and $4 (trending towards lower for smaller nations), but as high as $5 or more. So, if it's an option between +$2 income and +1 Happiness, always take the happy option. At other amounts (+1H or +$3, for example) it depends on your nation.

Gopherbashi Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yeah, there's a 1 happiness = $2 ratio only if you don't have improvements. Once you get 5 banks you're at an automatic (5x7%) 35% increase, or $2.70 instead of a flat $2. Any improvement that mentions an additional x% citizen income does the same thing. I believe I'm at 1 happiness = $4.30 right now, which is about where it caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HM Solomon I Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 1 happiness does equal $2, but that's base income. For events modifying citizen income, that is also base income. If you're choosing between +1 happiness and +$3 citizen income, choose +$3 because it's equivalent to getting +1.5 happiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
