Hello there! I've just test your last update with the happiness rework mod, and i got a world with human settlement but no maskling. Did you change something to the spawn of opponent?
Yep that was the problem! was on a mediteranean map, i've just try on mesopotamia and everything was fine^^ thank for the help.
Realy like the happiness mod btw, i t give me more liberty for desining my city wich i realy like. What are you going to do with the happiness building if you implement it in the base game btw?
