Positive Morale - What does it do?

Post by Wyvern »

Or, rather, does positive morale do anything for population units that are neither refugees nor rioting?

The penalties of negative morale seem pretty straightforward; chance of riots that render population units non-productive*; chance of outright revolts if enough people are unhappy relative to available ground troops / militia. Is there anything here that I'm missing?

* Though I think they still count towards the population thresholds for buildings?

Edit: This quote from this post seems to answer my question:

At least, the implication is that positive effects for high morale aren't currently in-game.

Positive morale currently doesn't do anything, but that should change soon.

It has just been mentioned on another thread that positive morale is planned to get a bonus with the next expansion

Consider it for now as a buffer for your war effort when you are going to bomb other civs, endure some bombing and starvation yourself, and mistreat your slaves...
