Happiness {{icon| Happiness|12px}} is a value tracked independently for each city. Cities gain or lose Happiness each year from various sources, and can also experience one-time increases or decreases. A lose of Happiness is called Discontent {{icon| Discontent|12px}}, so that changes are always positive numbers: it is either a gain of Happiness {{icon| Happiness|12px}} or a gain of Discontent {{icon| Discontent|12px}}.
Discontent {{icon| Unrest|12px}} is a value tracked independently for each city. Cities gain or lose Discontent {{icon| Unrest|12px}} each year from various sources, and can also experience one-time increases or decreases.


A new city starts with a Discontent Level of 1. When the city accumulates enough Discontent (100 + 10*level) {{icon| Discontent|12px}}, it gains a new Discontent Level. Each Discontent Level increases city Maintenance {{icon| Maintenance|12px}} and reduces Science {{icon| science|12px}} by 5%. It also decreases the opinion of the city's family by 20.
Every time a city accumulates 100 Discontent {{icon| Unrest|12px}}, it gains a Discontent Level, which increases Maintenance {{icon| Maintenance|12px}}, reduces Growth {{icon| Growth|12px}}, and decreases the opinion of the city's family [NEED EXACT VALUES]. When a city loses 100 Discontent {{icon| Unrest|12px}}, its Discontent Level goes down instead (to a minimum of 0).


When the city starts to gain Happiness instead, its Discontent Level goes down, eventually becoming a Happiness Level starting at level 1 and growing at the same rate as for Discontent Levels (100 + 10*level). Happiness Levels increase city Growth {{icon| Growth|12px}} and reduces city Maintenance {{icon| Maintenance|12px}} by 5% each.
