Protesters in City "X" Event

[GazBot]

Hello,

Im seeing when you get this event if you go the Meritocracy option and try to talk to the protesters - when you typically fail this (and fail it badly) it say unrest will increase by 50% - but it then actually increases by about 400%!!!!

Is this correct??

It's a 50% increase compared to maximum possible unrest, not 50% compared to existing unrest. At least I assume 100% is the maximum, I've never actually hit the cap.

My solution when working on that is to build a large army in the city when the event begins to happen. granted the first turn you don't have that army but you can leave decision tree make a few units then return and select the option. My current game I am autocracy so I just send in the troops or assassinate the leaders.
