Breakdown of happiness

[^7ja^1co]

Had my eye on the game, picked it up yesterday at a decent discount (50%)...is there an option to view the negative happiness breakdown?

In games like Lords of the Realm 2 (my favourite) I can see what is causing the negative happines and it helps to address the issues. I feel like the game is cheating cause I don't see the breakdown here.

Could this possibly be added ?

if you build to many houses then your happiness cant handle it and it will want to spawn more villages but cant.
The best thing to do is build your pop cap so the happiness cant go down.
so if my pop cap is 12 and i have 12 villages i would have one happiness it will just sit there at 1.
then i would build a brewery and the happiness will go up to 4, then i would build another house and so on.

You get less happiness the more people you have.

It's not a 1 to 1 ratio at the beginning but once you hit around 10-15 people it starts to be 1 villager to -1 happiness. I don't know exact numbers, I just know 16 pop is where I cap off at before my first brewery or major happiness bonus.

This is along side the penalties from houses, not upgrading the hall past 20 some odd population, sickness, starvation, 4+ wounded people, etc.

Guys thanks for the tips, that is not the issue hear, I would like the elements that are part of the negative happiness to be displayed much like th epositive is :)

They are when you hover over the happiness part of the UI. When you lack upgraded houses it says -1 happiness when you are missing houses. When you have 4+ injured it says -1 because of injured. When you are sick it says -X for however many are sick.

The required happiness (the one based off population) is not broken down because it goes off an inconsistent rate until you reach however much population that it becomes a 1 to 1 ratio of population per required happiness.

The immiediate ones are listed, I find the damn 'We want better houses' to be the most common. Like someone said, hover your mouse over it and you'll see these. If it's not displaying any, it's simply the population making it negative.

Other things are:

4+ wounded population
Sick
...that's all I can think of. Basically what he ^ said.

Hi, happiness is quite complex. You find a comprehensive explenation with exact numbers here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=971470053
There is a section "Expansion" with several chapters dedicated to happiness.
