Bump!
Languages as religions:
Well, countries with same languages of course are closer to each other..
English: UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Africa etc
Russian: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan and some east EU cities
Romanic (French, Spanish, Italian etc): EU, South America, Africa etc
Chinese/Japanese: China, Japan, Koreas etc
Arabian: Saudi Arabia, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Iran, Pakistan etc
Minor? could be also no-state language
German?
etc
Now before you argue about putting Chinese and Japanese and Romanic langs together, it really is better to the gameplay. Then there's problem with languages like Finnish, could be included to many. Well this is just a throw up idea, needs much processing
.
Elections:
After 6 years of playing, a country would have elections for leader, and if the player is liked, (s)he will continue, and if not, then the game ends. Of course you can kill your opponents change the results, but it costs you money. If you won't put enough money to the game, you'll get revealed and that make your people very happy
. Of course even with much money the game is never sure. Don't even ask how to include this to the game, but it would be just great and if it would affect AI too. Also you'd need to do extra leaderhead for every country (how sad it would be see McCain winning Obama in elections
). This would show up a whole new dimension to the game, making it even better. Well of course one could choose dictaturism or some other civic but then it affects relationships and happiness muchly. This is also just a throw up idea, hopefully this would be included to World 2015 Mod when it comes to that.
