Bambino Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 In light of all the nukes that have been flying over the world, it'd be interesting to have a "nuclear winter" as a consequence of people flinging these weapons at each other. Obviously the mechanics could be left up to Sheepy or the "development" team, but I was thinking maybe -30% on each season and every city on orbis gets like 20 pollution after x number of nukes are detonated within x number of real days (or game days, however you want). So a summer rather than being +20% food production would be -10% food production and a winter would be -50%. Just a thought. It would certainly make people think twice before going for full scale nuclear barrages. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Wellington Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 how about the nations who received and fired the nukes receive an event were they have mutated population not being able to work or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yukon Don Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 there would be additional political pressure towards traditional warfare / peace versus nuclear proliferation. It could add more element to the diplomacy & political factors of the game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogaden Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Nuclear winter should decline the food production of all countries so mass famine could happen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekejen Luish Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 How a full scale famine happens: 1. Nation A loses all its food because it has negative food production currently. 2. Famine causes money revenue to go negative. 3. Nation A runs out of money so it can't buy food to make money go back to positive. 4. Nobody helps Nation A. 5. Nation A is screwed until summer comes. And if that was the summer, Nation A's leader might as well just destroy it's nation. 1 Quote This is very small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atzuya Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 ^That (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) have global radiation thing that increases for each nukes fired and reduces... something, idk. The effect on income is quite immense on everyone, and yet in every war people never hesitated to launch nukes. Nuclear winter? They will laugh at your dwindling food supply as they sit on their 200 days worth of food 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilal the Great Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 That's why PnW the effect of nuclear winter must be more severe than (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways). Everygone got 50% disease in their cities, famines for everyone as mentioned before, commerce reduced by 70%. Maybe there should be a National Project that reduces the effects of nuclear winter.

Vincent Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 If the effect is on the nation hit with nuke then It sounds fair but if it affects every city , even those not involved in war or didn't use nuke then is not so fair. I mean lets say someone sits out one war and yet still get affected with reducing food? is it fair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace and War Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 It's a good idea It just shouldn't be as so severe to make everyone go broke Would be interesting to see food become an important commodity, an expensive commodity Quote "Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor."
