There is a great game called Knights of Honor (uses the American spelling) which is just like the Total War games except not in 3D and it is awesome and it upsets me that hardly anyone knows about it. Anyway that game uses such a system and it works brilliantly. There is a checklist of things that affect your peoples happiness and war is amongst them and it gets worse the longer the war drags on.

You know Knights of Honour may not look like much but it is awesome and has an amazing amount of detail. Makes me wish that CA would redo Med 2 at some point keeping the exact same engine but just fixing things and spending all the time making it awesome like Knights of Honour and with the AI of Galactic Civilizations 2 or Europa Universalis 3. But alas, tis but a dream.
