One thing I loved in the game "Sim City 4" is the fact you could select diffrent City Ordinances. While Civ 4 is not just a city it might be fun to have "National Ordinances" which would work the same way. It would be much like the existing "Civics" in Civ4 except rather than selecting from a few in each category you would just pick between 2 choices; approved or disapproved. Here are some examples of Ordinances from Sim City 4.

Legalized Gambling - Gives Incomes and allows to build Casinos but brings Unhappiness from crime.

Community CPR Training - Would Require a Hospital and give more health but would coast some maintenance.

Water Conservation Program - Not sure how this would fit without a water mod.

Paper Waste Reduction - Again this would probably need a Garbage Mod.

Free Clinic Program - Would Require a Hospital and give more health but would coast some maintenance.

Smoke Detector Program - Since there is no fires in the game really it would probably only be some sort of health or happiness benefit.

Neighborhood Watch Program - This could help increase happiness and help fight against spies.

Tourism Promotion Program - This would increase trade.

Junior Sports Program - This would give some happiness and healthiness.

Power Conservation Act - Again this would need a Power Mod.

Carpool Incentive Program - Perhaps Health from less smog and increases trade from the roadways having less people on the road.

Commuter Shuttle Service - Perhaps Health from less smog and increases trade from the roadways having less people on the road.

Clean Air Act - Probably more health but less production.

Youth Curfew Act - Similar to Neighborhood watch.

Automobile Emission Reduction Act - This would increase health.

Tire Recycling Program Again would need a Garbage Mod.

Nuclear Free Zone - Would disallow nuclear power plants but would give lots of happiness for doing so.

Pro-Reading Campaign - This could give some science.

Other ideas not in Sim City 4

Anti-Drug Campaign - This could increase health.

Anti-Drunk Driving - This could Increase health.

Alcohol Prohibition - Makes alcohol illegal.

Legalizing Marijuana - Makes Hemp Legal

Green Energy Programs - Makes green buildings easier to produce at the cost of money.

Daylight Saving Time - Increases production.

You get the idea. There are tons of things we could add.
 
Intresting. Could it be an event?

Alcohol Prohibition - Makes alcohol illegal.

Legalizing Marijuana - Makes Hemp Legal
What does this mean?:confused:

By the way Hydromancerx and Afforess, I posted a screen of my city here. I wanted to show it to you guys.:)
 
Yes, a new Python Screen and Python button on the UI for it. That would be cool. I would do it if I understood python. Perhaps we could conscript Dancing Hoskuld, or someone talented to do it...
 
I am not taking on anything until I have finished transforming AAranda's religions to 2.8, got the concept part of the RoM-Wiki generated by a program and am satisfied with my Subdue Animals mod which looks like it will require Afforess' sports and animal mods :) Or maybe I will, I have some ideas that will improve the UN also. But today I test and tonight I dance.
 
@Afforess & Dancing Hoskuld

Well my idea would be similar to the existing Civics Menu. Unlike say the RoMiS this menu would be in theory much easier to implement.

Doesn't matter, a screen is a screen the only difference is what goes in the screen but making the screen base work with a UI button for it is a hard task in of itself if your not a python genius. I'm still having trouble trying to locate the python that actually puts in the buttons, the button grid python file isn't it either. On top of that I'm not sure if the screen buttons would count toward the button fonts limit that's trying to be figured out or not.

Well if worse comes to worse maybe it could be added to the civic menu. It would be ugly but it would work. Also you would have a side effect of anarchy every time you changed ordinances.
 
This is funny. I was contemplating add three "Ordinance" buildings to the game:
-Anti-Smoking Campaign (Removes access to Tobacco in City)
-Prohibition (Removes access to Alcohol and Wine in City); Would include 18th Amendment Wonder, which would give free Prohibition buildings in all cities.
-Hemp Ban (Removes access to Hemp in City)

The reason I do not plan on adding these is the "what is the point" factor. As for drugs go, I would like to add GarretSidzaka's Cocaine resource, but with the resource issue with Early Building killed that dream.
