Happiness Exploit?

Is using police troops really an exploit? Is it not just how the game works? Fyron 20:27, 11 August 2006 (BST)

I don't think it's an exploit, just a bit too easy in stock... one of the many parts of the game that is unbalanced. It would not be hard to mod the game to increase all troop sizes by 10x, for instance - there would be little effect on gameplay save for the fact that troops would boost happiness at 1/10 the normal rate! ;) --Ed 21:08, 11 August 2006 (BST)

I'm pretty sure it would affect gameplay, actually. For one thing, they'd take up way more space in cargo, so you'd have to increase cargo storage by 10x and then everything else that could be held as cargo has to be multiplied x10 too. You'd also have to mod troop components to be 10x. I think it might be possible to multiply everything in happiness except troops by 10 (including min/max charge). That might do the trick. --B Mclean 21:31, 12 August 2006 (BST)
