I am sorry to say this but the names are really terrible. Also, these polls should be done when the global war begins; everyone refers to the war as Guns & Roses now so there is no point of doing this poll

yes, i like this idea, so it could be possible to check out the micro's

I see nothing wrong with this. Each time you 'surrender,' you lose 3 MAPS and 10 resistance points and the attacker gets an automatic Immense Triumph with a random assortment of loot (equal to 125% of what they'd have gotten in an attack on you). It would then be treated like an offer of Truce, and it would be up to the attacker to agree to the Truce or to keep attacking.
No i think the og suggestion is that you can offer a surrender, and if the opponent accepts, you then loose the war automaticly, isntead of waiting for him to beige u with 1-ship navals, and 0-munition soldiers.

I wish this is how my notifications were being popped up.

Great idea, def needs to be timer limits to prevent abuse by crackheads. But Surrender must have negative effects on your nation, since you just gave up without a fight, would make for a very good event [see

this is actually a good idea, only problem I see is that peace-trader nations would have a lot harder time in globals fighting raiders.

Hot take: RNG in a PvP strategy game is dumb. The amount of salt over bad rolls in battles is legitimately valid, wars should be decided by player strategy not a code function of suspect reliability. Scaling that up to global effects such as random zombie apocalypses is not a recipe for success. If you give events enough of an effect to matter they can and will skew stuff such as global wars. And thats not adding decision making, its taking away player agency in their own fates. If events are not strong enough to have real effects they are reduced flavor text, and there is much better use of dev time at that point.
That being said I do agree the game needs more actual decision making. But that decision making needs to be in core gameplay, not rng flavor text. Adding in stuff like alternate city build paths, additional war options, other things that the players drive and cause.
From there going back the OP. Approval rating was supposed to have effects originally, but in practice the formula driving it is unstable to say the least and prone to massive runaways in both directions. And further it would have skewed the meta towards undesirable actions like war dodging or dogpiling. There has been talk of trying again but its low priority compared to stuff like making beige be not dumb. When the times comes though it'll likely be a new value as supposed to messing with the old one.Which leads us into the 'RP' features. To a certain extent in a political sim, player agency includes being able to adopt and support a persona and identify. The RP stuff is an extension of that need and need to remain divorced from direct mechanical effects. This is why stuff like war policy and domestic policy are in their own things neutral to the RP aspect. If you tack on bonuses etc to rp aspects, they cease being useable for RP at all. And that would be a removal of player agency. That is not say decision tree bonuses are bad, but they should be their own selections.
Def agree, i don't want RNG determining anything more than it already does.
Maybe the way to solve this is to have the events be systemic, or for example, based on some factor the player, such as city count, pollution/crime/disease levels, starvation, or maybe war status (using a nuclear weapon, declaring/loosing an offensive war, winning a defensive war)
Player Action: Winning a defensive war
Event: Victory Parade in Moscow Celebrating Victory of Motherland!!!
Text: blah blah blah
Effect: Approval Rating increases X%, Military upkeep decreases X%, ect.....
Player Action: Lets Pollution increase to XXX
Event: Environmentalists Protest, Workers Strike in Factories!
Text: blah blah blah
Cost: Approval Rating decreases X%, Manufacturing output decreases X%, ect.....
These aren't really decisions, as much as they are in-game results to player actions. Maybe there can be choices, like "Give Promises for Population Reduction. Pay $X, build XX" or "Send in the Army to put down the riots. Effects: XXX"
But we need to address the fact, that rn, you can literally drive ur people to brink of extinction, without any negative repercussion from the populace, other than their reduced output cause they are eating dirt. Also as people said before, Approval Rating needs to be something real.
I like the HOI4 Conscription and Econ levels, they would add some dynamics to the game, but prob for only 1-3 months, before the CS majors run their codes and figure out the formulas, and optimize everything.
Overall i do agree PnW isnt a nation-simulator as much as it is a Alliance simulator, your are just commanding an army regiment during globals, and merely feeding in numbers for econ bots.

I think the issue can be solved by instead having the system calculate the total of all of your current sell offers (or buy offers when making a buy trade, but not cross calculating them), and if the new offer when making a new trade would put you below 0 of the rss (or cash for buy offers), then you cant make it.
and to cover errors from depositing into the bank or being looted, maybe run a check on turn changes, as long as that wouldn't add a noticeable amount to turn change scripts, and any excess in the offer either be removed, or the entire offer cancelled altogether.
the system you are proposing is overly complicated, and making a fee when people may have to remove their offer and repost when people are undercutting only hurts traders not people that would be abusing it to hide funds, since 1% would be less than the 14% of a looting by a raid war in pirate policy, anyone not in a blockade on the final turn before beige could just drop everything in the market and pull it out for a 1% feeyeah, i understand your issue with some trades not working, but i think this ^^^^ is a better solution.
Another solution is that when you loose a war, your assets in the market are also susceptible to being looted.

So you want a thing, but are not sure what it even is?
i have a cobweb of ideas, i cant seem to patch together. aka YES.

Color Trade Blocs right now have no relation to TRADE, there are 2 solutions:
1) Change the name to Color Blocs
2) Actually add a mechanism to make trade blocs, and make Market Sharing a relevant button.
I think there's enough innovation in the community for the genius's in you to post your ideas below.

If you can calculate spies without doing "gather intel", whats the goddam point??

Add graph for Revenue log. A lot easier than 50 x 10 table.
Add Profit Calculator for manufacturing,just like we have for Raw, and Commerce

This is a horrible idea, but it's super beneficial to me, so I say lets do it!
Side note, some of us do counters the old fashion way, we pay attention, track nations, and watch war declaration screens, seems to be working pretty well for Grumpy this war. Maybe a little less bots and a little more hard work could benefit some alliances out there. As the old are apt to say, "Back in my day..."What about other 3 proposals? Ideas? Feedback?

Change Blitzkrieg. Honestly rn it is probably the worst war policy you can be at. After 24 hours of switching its all loss 0 gain. Here is my proposal:
QuoteBlitzkrieg
Do X% more damage in the first 24 hours of any war, con: attackers start with 7 MAP
OR
QuoteBlitzkrieg (Anti-Fortress)
Start with 7 MAP when declaring war, con: opponents also start with 7 MAp
Reduce Defensive war slots to only 2. In globals rn, all that matters is that you are 3 v 1, even if you loose at the start you have 3x the rebuilding capabilities, so by day 3 you have already turned the tide of the war irreversibly. This is even worse when you have an advantage over an enemy nation, and then his aa hits you with 3 other enemies, and ur going 4 v 1. Reducing the slots to 2 makes it a far more even playing field, so wars are less of 3 v 1 dogpiles, and closer to 2 v 2 multi-war engagements. Would make war based on your skill, and not how effective your aa discord counter bot is.
Let Airstrikes hit Resources. irl hitting enemy fuel tanks/storage units can be decisive in war. Feel free to add ideas, but maybe Target Enemy Fuel (Gasoline Stockpiles) and Target Enemy Ammunition Depots (Munition Stockpiles) should be new options.
Make Naval Battles more like Airstrikes. As a lot of people already commented, naval is kinda useless rn, unless your enemy has low muni/gas stockpiles. My idea is that Naval Battles work just like Airstrikes, you can target enemy Ships, Units (except Planes), Infa, Money or Resources (see above). Just like Airstrikes, all NB go through enemy ships.

Time to kill this RNG goddess, and trap her in depths of Tartarus.

Add the ability to formally surrender
in Game Suggestions
Posted
Easy fix to this is to not include Surrendered Wars in the total wars count.
WHere does this ever happen?? I think every major aa has "dont ever peace alone" or "contact your whatever-glorious-officer befroe you offer/accept peace". Also how can i negotiate the enemy loosing 10% of infa and loot if they are bloackaded???
