Capturing planets, a question of practicality.

[QuarianRex]

Geo,

We are talking about the same thing. It was just that the immediate example that I had involved an emotionless race.

I just did a test game (1.84), small quadrant, three races (one normal, one mechanoid, one emotionless and mechanoid). I slapped the mechanoid trait in because I was using plague bombs to affect the planets happiness.

I had the races lay seige to each others worlds till said worlds were angry (-20%) then invaded through troop combat (removing the troops afterward), waited a turn for the plague to cure (where applicable), removed population, abandoned planet, and put the population back.

In all cases this resulted in a restoration of pop happiness to 'happy' (+10%). The happiness change was immediate and did not require a turn to take effect.

Couslee,

I don't know what you mean by 'using an end turn in the middle of it'. Could you clairify?

Geo (again),

In your test did you use a pre-1.84 save game?
