how about instead of increasing income it increases the amount of resources you can produce slightly that way we can have both income bonus and resources bonus from civil
Thats not a bad idea, but if I remember correctly, some of the nation perks Sheepy is planning to implement would do much the same thing, without a whole new mechanic.
-
Does anyone even use civil?
Civil Improvements are very valuable later-game. Police stations and hospitals can greatly increase your income, while the pollution improvements are the only way to decrease pollution, and the subway even provides a commerce boost. That said, they are quite expensive, and don't really pay for themselves until your cities have a lot of infra.

edit: doesn't TAC/II/TSG have a bloc announcement thread? can't seem to find it :/
They don't have an official bloc announcement on the forums here, so don't bother trying to find it.

1) If my nation has a high level of pollution, some of this carries over to nations within my circle of influence. My polluting the environment causes a certain percentage of their citizens to emigrate to a nation within their circle of influence with a better environment. Thus, I've just caused tension with my neighbours, and they either need to live with it, discuss fixing the problem with me, or bomb the pollution away/me into cooperating.
I don't think this rests on particularly sound logic, especially if you're trying to create inter-nation tension. Allow me to give an example.
Nation A is a decently new nation, lets say with a couple 500 infra cities. Since it is newer, it focuses mainly on resource production and refinement, such improvements take up a majority of its slots, which naturally means it is going to have high pollution levels. Nation B is a bit older, and has moved onto a more commerce focused build, which means it has less pollution.
By your system, since Nation A has more pollution, its citizens begin moving en masse to Nation B. Now for Nation B, this is great news. It is essentially getting free population, which in this game translates to more money for it. Nation B has no reason to dislike Nation A for its pollution, in fact it has a good reason to want it to be more polluted. For Nation A on the other hand, they are stuck in a bit of a bind, they can either:
1. Do nothing and continue to lose population they need to make money to Nation B.
2. Spend a lot of money on pollution reducing improvements, which may stop the flow of population, but will hurt financially, both with purchasing costs and maintenance, only making an unsustainable money situation worse.
3. Sell a lot of resource buildings and go commerce, which can also be very costly early, and seems like unnecessary pigeonholing.
In other words, Nation A loses whatever way you look at it, and Nation B only gains. There is no way warfare would solve this problem, and this system would only serve to help less polluted nations, while hurting more polluted ones. If you are trying to make pollution sting more, or develop tensions, this isn't the way to do it.

Turns out I'm an Atlas Confederacy spy attempting to get knowledge about those pesky Gentlemen.
At this point it wouldn't surprise me all too much.
Perhaps next we will see logs posted from the secret GPA cabal who control world finance.
Or maybe new logs will reveal there are only six kingdoms in SK, or that SI are actually misunderstood capitalists.
The possibilities are truly endless.

Stanley had a dream about giant purple penises which he learned about first-hand.
As he farted and thought about snorting lines, he suddenly choked on an absurdly large chicken, which came from the incredible pleasure inside his stainless steel throat. Crying like a racist toaster, Stanley whipped out his new wallet, searching for Barack Obama. He tried desperately to stop World War Z with copious feminist claims, but alas he was forced to suck a racing truck.
Meanwhile his spidey sense told him that a large plot of feminists got obliterated by a radical fellow known as only "Larry".
So he got up and devised a plan to hasten in Latin, "ago", meaning ''You'', so that he could understand what kind old Bernice thought of.
While he still sucked a racing truck, Stanley jumped on to the Grand Bridge to find a badass set of electronic bolas which someone was eating with Obama. Stanley sat -

There's nothing to see here.

Yeah, I'm pretty prepared
But of course, for the war that definitely isn't going to happen. I mean, everybody loves each other and totally isn't dividing up into rival blocs. Its nothing but peace for the next forever. Don't hide out in your fallout shelter yet, we are all friends!

Clearly the others are Mikey and Cody.

You're no longer protecting the II? We have still teamed with II and TAC (and others) to rival The Covenants. This is getting complex.
*X-files theme music plays*
I think you guys need to get a new lock on your secret plans vault. Or maybe childproof it.
But since you're on a roll, by all means tell me who these "others" are, I won't be able to finish my popcorn if this is all you give me.

Looks to me like 43
Now its 42... This is the point where you question how much that free money is really worth to you.

42 posts left to go until I break 100?
Agghhhh!!
I'm bored already, lets just go spam food offers or something to make money.

Well, lets start making random posts to boost myself up.
Mods are asleep, post fat beagle.

Hard to be jealous of an alliance whose average score is lower than yours, particularly since that's what the conversation is about.All I see is a very jealous Emily, umadbro?
The real question here is: umadbro?

That makes more sense, thanks for answering.

Well, winter is here, and while I was checking my nation, I noticed this:
(apologies for the small picture)
I don't think winter is supposed to happen in June, the game dates seems a little out of sync with the seasons.
Perhaps this could be fixed to avoid confusion?

In the trash with the rest of the retards.
There's always that one guy who has to ruin it, isn't there? Perhaps this isn't the best place to take out your inane rage, but I mean, what do we know? I guess I'll just hop back in the trash, maybe find someone with more intelligence.
Anyway,

Good to have BoC on for the ride

Alright, the The DEIC Saves the Day War better win this thing.
Also, mildly surprised no one came up with The Atlas Shrugged War before me. That was waiting to be made.
