Windows 10 64 bit, 8 Gm RAM, Intel(R) Core(TM) I7-4500 CPU1.80 GHz 2.40GHz GPU: AMD Radeon R7 M265, Intel(R) HD Graphics Family. Version game 1.40f15

After patch 1.5 units got some kind of ulcer, which periodically causes pain in the abdomen. One of the theories why the creatures suddenly become unhappy.

It happens to random creature (but most others beast master, juggernaut, ogre, witch doctor and necromancer). Does not occur immediately with the start of the game, around 2 - 3 payday. If anything, these creatures become unhappy again and again, that just starts to get annoying, and unhappy become I.

Costs them 20 seconds to work, go to the flag at rally - they are unhappy.

In a screenshot. Juggernaut (Food 91% (Tavern 68%), sleep 71%), the salary received is miserable. Why? To cure their ulcers!

Satisfaction mark by Галиев Рустем 7 years sedan

Ignored the screenshots. Which shows that needs are satisfied (on the second from the screenshots, each at more than 80% 0. The salary received. But units unhappy. What % of satisfaction of needs, unit NEEDS to become unhappy? I'm sure it is significantly below 80%.

The Witch Doctors Behaviour in the Video is normal, Witch Doctors (like Succubus) are picky especially when high level.
Once he had a meal in the Tavern his mood improved, but with current dungeon setup he will become unhappy again because he needs to walk far away.

Quote from Stefan Furcht

Please understand the difference. Units must have a bad mood, if their needs are not satisfied. All the time, while needs are insufficiently satisfied.

So, definitely understandable.

But if the unhappy units that had the great satisfaction of all requirements (100 - 90%), should improve his mood.

And it should happen earlier than 24 seconds.

If not - please, tell the maximum time, in which the creature may be unhappy (so it wasn't a bug), provided that the entity obtained the satisfaction of their needs.

Especially important is this problem in large maps - labyrinths. Where, due to the map, tortuous path.

How can "right" to build a dungeon on a large map, more than 100 tiles on each side, if in different angles, for example, I need (if the map is such a struggle with the enemy in the corner, 2 passes) 2 Garrisons? I'll give the Ogre lair exactly between them. But until he comes back 50 x 1.4 (diagonal) cells x 2 - over 140 tiles, he will certainly be angry.

Hey Ontos,

We are looking into ways to improve the feedback to the player on the happiness mechanic. In the mean time just take extra special care to pay attention to the distance between rooms.

Units that have been unhappy will not recover immediately, this time to recover is dependant on the level, type of the unit and current satisfaction.

Analysis of video:

Witch doctor level 7, needs met so in the beginning of the video:

58 food, 0% taverna, 0% sleep.

At 0:09 he ate in the tavern, needs: 100%, 100%, 0%. Still angry.

0:33 returned to the lair and began to sleep.

1:16 he upheld the need for sleep 100%. It took him 43 seconds, with 0 to 100%, is this normal?

At the same time, his need "tavern" = 17% at this moment.

The speed meet the need for more speed, with which the other needs are growing, in this case, about 2.3 times ((93-9)/(100-17) tavern and 100/43 a dream) that a little.

As for the "make a good dungeon." Are map with terrain, like a maze, which does not put the next lot of rooms. Or cards, in which the earth is a small island in which you can do only 2-3 rooms 5x3, and in each island to do the tavern is a bad idea, we need room to attract creatures, and for different jobs.

I suggest:

1. Improve the pathfinding algorithm. Now he, pardon my French, primitive (see the link, and in the video proof).

2. To reduce the time "of amichevoli" 2 - 3 times. This time I called the company, starting in as "Bad a mood, but needs are satisfied above 80%" and to increase the level of mood creatures (24 seconds in the video).

3. To make such a change, allowing sentient beings to sleep in the nearest free lair.

Additionally, it is possible to make a mutator affecting the time of the offense (whim), and on the growth rate needs.
