PaphonIssarapisit Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) This update will give the approval rating more important. first of all how about the change of it mechanic instead of it increase or decrease due to victory in war why not include how high the disease and crime percentage are if the crime and disease rate are high the approval rating will be low the opposite for when the crime and disease rating are low and also when the average income are high it will increase the approval rating too. Now you might ask why do we need to keep the approval rating high? That because when the approval rating are low people will start rioting when people are rioting they will destroy some infrastructure and make the other infrastructure perform worse than normal. you will also have to wasted money per turn to control the riot .the effect became worse the lower the approval rating but when the approval rating are high infrastructure will work better than normal and you will get a small buff on taxes. I feel like if this update was added it will make approval rating more important and it will make player care more about their citizens not to mention it will make tax a better way to gain passive income.Thank you for reading my suggestion.

Natalia Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 There is only one problem: How are you gonna implement this without breaking the entire game? Besides that, I like the suggestion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaphonIssarapisit Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) I mean isn’t an update that completely open up a new way to play a game a good thing ? and maybe we can give a warning 1 month before we start adding the update and on that 1 month people will get a boost on there income rate so they will be able to adapt to this update Edited June 5, 2021 by PaphonIssarapisit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaphonIssarapisit Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Yeah you can solve the riot by improving the approval rating and for the mowing them down option that might be a bit too complicated I don’t know how that mechanic will work 24 minutes ago, Brother Jauffre said: I think you should have a option to resolve the riot peacefully or just mow them down Yeah you can solve the riot by improving the approval rating and for the mowing them down option that might be a bit too complicated I don’t know how that mechanic will work. 5 hours ago, Hideri said: There is only one problem: How are you gonna implement this without breaking the entire game?

It will definitely make gameplay more interesting, but it will force builds, war strategies, revenue, tax, basically everything, to change completely. I like your concept, you just need to find a way to implement it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etat Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) I like the general notion of making the approval rating functional in some way. The difference between capable and incapable players is highlighted by their ability to understand and play according to the game meta, and to assimilate meta changes quickly into the way the game is played at individual and alliance level. Having said this, I think game changes little and often is the way to modify games like this, and linking approval rating to a great swathe of nation features that are already somewhat complex may well be too much. Perhaps making it a modifier of national tax rate in a manner that overcomes the otherwise neutral influence this figure has to one's income? It needn't be a huge influence, but not completely inconsiderable either....perhaps a -5% to +5% influence on National Tax Revenues? 0-20% approval = 1% increase in NTR 20-40% = 2% etc etc. plus something equivalent for negative approval ratings ofc Edited June 9, 2021 by Etat 1 Quote Celer Et Audax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your concept, you just need to find a way to implement it. I mean 1 month is a pretty long time I’m pretty sure that people will be able to adapt and create a new war plan also most people crime and disease rates are already small so it probably wouldn’t matter plus they also get extra money at that time so they will be able to change their city style in time but if that still not enough we could just make the penalty really small like maybe decrease the effectiveness of the infrastructure by only 1-5% and money penalty can only be 5% andremove the infrastructure damage . when the approval rating are high maybe only increase the effectiveness of the infrastructure by only 1-5% and increase taxes by 5-10% so it wouldn’t have that much effect.

zigbigadorlou Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 As others have pointed out, this would probably require reworking a lot of things in game. I do agree that approval rating could use a slight overhaul since its basically a worthless stat at the moment. A more straightforward edit would be to have it contribute to your population or income. But you would have to reduce the role of wins/losses in wars. Having population destroy your infra is an interesting idea, but I think it would have to be implemented in the form of events like CN has.

Dream Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Approval rating is pretty useless as of now; your ideas do sound great but it might be a lot of work on something that is unnecessary atm. Though it would be great to see something like that after the current mechanics are fixed.

The details would clearly need to be looked at in the context of everything else to ensure it didn't break/void other aspects of the game. 6 minutes ago, MYC said: ...This sounds good but what about the nations who have around 1000 or more negative points for approval rating.
