Hi all,
I had an idea for a new resource which I think would benefit the politics part (and war maybe) of P&W.
My idea is to have the resource... WATER
It gets complex though. Water is to be consumed by your population thus the more people more water used. Say 50,000 people need 10 tonnes of water a day. If there is no water to things could happen (My suggestion would be the latter) firstly your population could slowly die off until you get more water then they would come back. Secondly and I think is better you only collect half the tax until you have water.
Each continent rains different amounts at different times. Each month every continent would get the same but at different times you might get heaps one day then no rain for a week. The amount collected should be the rain per sq mile times number of sq miles owned. Water could then like any other resource be traded. If everyone was careful then water price would stay low. If some people sold it all when the got it then had little rain for a week they would pay mega bucks to get there tax back.
You could even get really tricky and have a weather forecast for each continent but it would not be 100% accurate.
So yeah there's a quick summary I could explain in more depth if there are questions.
