Antartica North Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I just purchased the great university, and after reading here; http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?s...reat+university ...I assumed it would give me between 5.6 and 6 happiness, for my 3008 tech. However upon buying the wonder I noticed that it instead gave a 5.32 happiness increase. I've no idea if its a bug, or I've managed to interpret the about_topics incorrectly, but eitherway I thought best to mention. Before GU: Population Happiness: 59.38 Population Per Mile: 23.16 Population Per Mile. Avg. Gross Income Per Individual Per Day: $17.21 (A weak economy) Avg. Individual Income Taxes Paid Per Day $5.16 Avg. Net Daily Population Income (After Taxes) $12.05 After GU: Population Happiness: 64.70 Population Per Mile: 23.16 Population Per Mile. Avg. Gross Income Per Individual Per Day: $18.41 (A weak economy) Avg. Individual Income Taxes Paid Per Day $5.53 Avg. Net Daily Population Income (After Taxes) $12.88 64.70 - 59.38 = 5.32 [What I actually got] ...(3008 - 200) * .2 = 561.6 (5.6) [What I think I should be getting] The 5.6 is what I garnered from the thread. (my math does it like this; if its 2 happiness per 1000, then its 0.4 happiness per 200. 2800/200 = 14... 14 * 0.4 = 5.6). -AN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterof9puppets Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 No, i think it is right how it currently is. That .2% means for every 1000 tech you have, you get +2 happiness. So you get an extra 5.6 happiness with this wonder if you have 3k tech (not including the tech bonus you get for the initial 200 tech). From that other thread.

Antartica North Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) ...yeah, thats what I said. I _should_ be getting 5.6, but I'm not... I'm getting 5.32. I have 3008 tech, so I think I am right in assuming that I'd get 5.6 happiness at me level, and 6 happiness at 3200.

Janquel Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 You're not factoring environment. 1 happiness does not equal 1 happiness in-game any longer because of environment. If you were to, say, destroy a church, you wouldn't lose a full happiness. But when rebuying it, you wouldn't regain a full happiness either.

Syzygy Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 ^^ That: the Environment removes a percentage of your total happiness. Because the GRL is currently maxed out, most nations have 6.00 or worse Environment which means you lose a noticable amount of % pop and % happiness. If, in your case the GU should bring 5.6 (which is correct), but you only get 5.32, the factor is exactly 0.95 (or 95%) - which means you have a 5% penalty for your overall national happiness. So, I assume your Env is currently 6.00 - right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antartica North Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Ah I see , yes my environment is @ 6 I wish there was more information available on the overall effects of Environment! Am I right in assuming that this percentage effects all my happiness modifiers but not my base happiness? For example lets say my base happiness (happy b4 resources, wonders, etc) was 30 - would it still be 30 atm? If I bought a +10 happiness wonder, would I only actually get 9.5 at the moment too? Thank you both -AN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzygy Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) There is no such thing as a "Base Happiness". At least not to my knowledge. That being said, bad environment reduces your TOTAL happiness by a percentage, no matter how you got this happiness. That is the reason why the statement: "1 Happiness = $2" is not true any more (it was in the past). +$$ modifiers are not affected by Environment, Happiness is, so actually a +$4 modifier is BETTER than a +2 happiness modifyer. And yes, a +10 happiness modification (via 2 wonders for example) brings only +9.5 currently because of your environment level. For other nations, depending on their setups, this could be different.

ALFERALFER Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 ...yeah, thats what I said. I _should_ be getting 5.6, but I'm not... I'm getting 5.32. I have 3008 tech, so I think I am right in assuming that I'd get 5.6 happiness at me level, and 6 happiness at 3200. 2800 is the maxium. increases population happiness +.2% (+2 for every 1000) of your nation's technology level over 200 up to 3,000 tech.
