While trying to compare races in the ingame encylopedia I noticed the ‘liked’ stats listed didn’t quite match the actual happiness points, so here’s a list showing the exact stats.
Population
All credit goes to Sliprunner !

SLAVES | -1.5 | -2.5 | -2.5 | -2.5 | -2.5
OTHER SLAVES | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 2- Cretonian’s don’t mind slaves of themselves as much, still hate it though
- Dondorians don’t care about immigrants
- Tilapi WANT other slaves
Key Note: There are more penalties here than positives, if this category is low you’ve likely got slave issues

HOUSING | All 2
HOME PRIVACY | -1 | 1 | -1.5 | 1 | 1
FURNITURE | 4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | 4- Cretonians and Gathimi both enjoy communal living
- Food makes up 8 points, 11 once you factor in starvation, as starvation means missing Pref, Days, and Rations all at once.
- Garthimi don’t care as much about furniture
Key Note: Very good food supply, correct housing, and ready access to furniture will go miles to keep access high

PHYSICIANS | All 1
SPEAKERS | All 1
STAGES | All 1.5
ARENAS | All 2
LAVATORIES | All 3- Cretonians love their canteens and Taverns
- Everyone has 100% fulfillment working as a physician, giving a 2 for 1 bonus, 3 if you consider healthcare
- There is no reason not to have ready hearth and well access for everyone
Key Note: Bar the Cretonian’s everything is completely equal here

STORED RATIONS | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0
STORED GEMS | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0
STORED SITHILON | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0- Climate may only be 1.5 but those are permanent points, you have them or you don’t
- Tilapi might like cannibalism but stills dislikes corpse piles, wrongful deaths, and desecration of graves, so it’s mostly just going to offset those situations
- Humans and Talapi hate noise, but Dondorians and Garthimi LIKE noise
- Only Cretonians and Talapi care about Harmony, Dondorians and Humans prefer Awe, Gatharmi and Talapis prefer Dread, Cretonians hate Dread and ignore Awe
- Pillars and Statues are limited effect but that does help in not needing to fill every crevice with them for fulfillment
- Stored resources are also ratio dependent on your population, but otherwise are free points for simply having something in storage
Key Note: There is a LOT of modifiers here but the majority are dependent on design/layout of city
Religion
RELIGION | Cretonians | Dondorians | Garthimi | Humans | Tilapi
FAITH | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3
OPPOSITION | All -2
GRAVEYARDS | All 1
CRYPTS | 0.5 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2
DESECRATION | All -3Key Note: Religion is straight forward, don’t mix opposition, don’t bust graves
Occupation
OCCUPATION | Cretonians | Dondorians | Garthimi | Humans | Tilapi
EMPLOYED | All 1
RETIREMENT AGE | All 1
FULFILLMENT | All 3
RETIREMENT | All 2.5
EDUCATION | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0- Retirement Age is filled by % of the retirement age slider
- Fulfillment is unlikely to be maxed, Most jobs are 50% with some, like Janitors, Scaffolds, Slavers, and Workstations, being 0%
Key Note: All are equal, save humans demanding an education
Government
GOVERNMENT | Cretonians | Dondorians | Garthimi | Humans | Tilapi
LIKED TOURISTS | All 0.25
DISLIKED TOURISTS | All -1
RICHES | All 1

IMPRISONMENT | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0
STOCKING | -0.5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.5
EXECUTION | -1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1
ENSLAVEMENT | -0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0
JUDGEMENT | All 1- Cretonians are special again, they change a fair chunk of your law system and care not about crime itself
- Liked tourists good but minimal impact, Disliked tourists throw a wrench at your head
- No one cares about exiling, If your law facilities can’t keep up or are inadequate you can simply exile the problems away
- While only Cretonians care, and hate, enslavement it is best to remember everyone has penalties on slaves of their own pops
Key Note: A prison, a Court, and a Scaffold can fulfill law bonuses for most races bar Cretonians, where everyone gets shoved in prison.

Here is the net ‘happiness’ points you can get from each category minus potential negative scores.
CATEGORY | Cretonians | Dondorians | Garthimi | Humans | Tilapi
POPULATION | -3.5 | -3.5 | 4.5 | -4.5 | -3
ACCESS | 18 | 20 | 17 | 20 | 20
SERVICES | 21.5 | 19.5 | 19.5 | 19.5 | 19.5
ENVIRONMENT | 8.35 | 8.85 | 8.45 | 5.95 | 11.45
RELIGION | 0.5 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1
OCCUPATION | 7.5 | 7.5 | 7.5 | 8.5 | 7.5
GOVERNMENT | 1.75 | 2.25 | 2.25 | 2.25 | 2.25
TOTALS | 54.1 | 55.6 | 51.2 | 52.7 | 58.7For comparison here is the same chart assuming you treat the same ‘negatives’ as positives (I.E. You didn’t mess up those factors).
CATEGORY | Cretonians | Dondorians | Garthimi | Humans | Tilapi
POPULATION | 9.5 | 9.5 | 10.5 | 10.5 | 12
ACCESS | 26 | 26 | 26 | 26 | 26
SERVICES | 21.5 | 19.5 | 19.5 | 19.5 | 19.5
ENVIRONMENT | 17.35 | 16.85 | 17.45 | 14.95 | 14.45
RELIGION | 10.5 | 11 | 11 | 11 | 11
OCCUPATION | 7.5 | 7.5 | 7.5 | 8.5 | 7.5
GOVERNMENT | 7.75 | 9.25 | 9.25 | 9.25 | 9.25
TOTALS | 100.1 | 99.6 | 101.2 | 99.7 | 99.7- Access is the largest contributor to happiness points
- Enviroment’s influence is relatively tame UNLESS you have corpses laying around and are committing cannibalism, bar Tilapi of course
- Largest penalties come from Slave issues, Food Issues, Corpse Issues, or Law Issues. If happiness is tanking fast it is likely one of those four.
- Cretonians change how you approach a number of categories, particularly government and enviroment
- Garthimi have a LOT of negatives you need to watch out for, but are surprisingly easy to keep happy as long as you avoid those issues
- Humans are almost entirely baseline bar two categories, Enviroment and Occupation.
- Tilapi ignore most of the penalties other races deal with, which means you have to work harder to keep them happy
Key Note: Most of your happiness comes from Access and Services, Enviroment is largely static and is going to be baked into your city design.
With all said and done most races are actually pretty equal, the largest outliers are Cretonians and Tilapi, the first from the different approach to city building they warrent, and the second because of how they change the focus to filling demands rather than avoiding problems. Personally out of all this? I’m actually surprised with the Garthimi as half their happiness is baked into ‘negatives’ to avoid, that combined with the highest ‘enviroment’ influence and they could be kept surprisingly happy with very basic setups.
