rulesets and happiness

Post by Dino the Dinosore »

Apologies if this is already covered in the "Changes in what a 3.x ruleset can do" threads, I wasn't able to find anything there when I searched.

I'd like to have more control over happiness effects, currently there is only the Output_Inc_Tile_Celebrate and Rapture_Grow effects. I propose adding a new effect requirement called "CityHappiness", with range "City" and values "Unhappy", "Happy", "Celebrating". The Output_Inc_Tile_Celebrate effect would then not be need, could use Output_Inc_Tile (or something else), depending on the requirement being fulfilled. Something like the Rapture_Grow effect is still needed, but could be renamed and its hard-coded dependency on celebration dropped.

I'm dubious about un-hardcoding the effect of disorder on food, production, science, and taxes, but that could also be done. The existing way of doing things could then be implemented if some effects like Output_Per_Tile allow negative values. In any case a ruleset author could do additional things if a city is Unhappy.

We have "CityStatus" values "Disorder" and "Celebration" in master.

Ah, I see it now. So I'll look for it in 3.2.
