Good News Events?

**yesdachi** · 08-17-2005, 14:56

Does anyone know if there is any actual benefit to receiving a good news event, like you are the richest or have the strongest army or the greatest tech level, etc?

I know I like to see them

but do they do any real good? Like increase happiness or make others dislike you?

Not sure except for making you feel good when you get the message

.
But when I get the 'largest military' one I usually know it is about time to
get out and

somebody.

These messages should increase your influence but I'm not entirely sure of that.

Over at the .c0mmie, some of the tech heads (MotorHead, Maeda et al) said that if you get "Largest Military" message the AI is less likely to attack you for the next ten or so years (out of fear), while if you get the "I'm the Richest" message they are more likely to attack you (out of greed) for the next ten or so years (although I'm not sure on the lenght of time it lasts).
