World Manipulation Campaigns

This optional system aims to provide an element of long-term strategy to the game.

Happiness

Different cultures value different things more, or less. Determining the happiness level of a group is done by multiplying each of the group's value coefficients with the current levels, then adding them together.

• Survival: Food, drink, shelter. If this hits 0, people are starving and will rebel even if they don't value comfort.

• Convenience: Easy transportation, entertainment, free time.

• Freedom: The ability to do things without interference.

• Authority: The belief that the current leadership has a right to rule. Each culture has a different way of defining this.

Example Culture: The Hedonists

Survival Coefficient: 2.

Convenience Coefficient: 3.

Freedom Coefficient: 2.

Authority Coefficient: 0.

Example Culture: The Fanatics

Survival Coefficient: 1.

Convenience Coefficient: 0.

Freedom Coefficient: 1.

Authority Coefficient: 5. The Fanatics want to follow someone who speaks for their deity, and follows their deity's philosophy. Undermining the existing ruler can be done through tricking them into committing sacrilegious acts.
