I had a few ideas for the modern / TH era:
- In the future (and even now) there will be more and more fight for water and food. I was thinking if we should water make a new property.
- There should be more unrests. Bigger cities are to easy to get, thats why I suggest increasing unhappyness, rather a linear one. Not just "+1
per pop" but Like:
1
per pop if size is below 10.
2
per pop if size is between 10 and 20. (for every pop above 10)
3
per pop if size is between 20 and30. (for every pop above 20)
5 mad: per pop if size is between 30 and 40. (for every pop above 30)
So if you have size 33, you get (10 (10 pop below 10) +20 (10 pop between 10 and 20) + 30 (ten pop between 20 and 30) + 15 (3 pop between 30 and 33) = 75 :mad instead of 33.
-People are used to have shoes for example. They are no longer a luxury resource (in developed countries), they are now a basic requirement. So they should get
if they are not around, not
if they around (Hydro proposed that, I think).
- Due the increasing population, resources become rare in this era. Garbage runs out of control. Therefore, recycling becomes more and more important. This could be achived by stockpiling resources and resource depletion which should not be random but predictable. Every source of nonrenewable resource should have a limit (like 100.000) units. The more advanced your techs become, the more "units" you gather per turn, thus the faster these sources disappear.
- Since Air Pollution represents mostly CO2 in C2C (which I think is still completely wrong, the air was much more POLLUTED in the industrial age in europe, even thought today there is more CO2), the global warming should really be global. It would be most accurate if we had 2 properties: Grenhouse Gases and Air pollution. The latter should be more or less regional and represents SO2, Dust, Smog etc while the first one should be counted global and increases the chance for global warming effects. We can surely keep it as one if you want to. However, as I mentioned above, the global warming effects should add up. If China builds Coal Power Plants, burning forests etc, the Arctic will heat, too. In Civ 3 there was this global warming counter, that caused a global warming effect on a random plot, not tied to the most pollution player. We should add this, too, since this might cause wars on the most pollution enemies.
- Last but not least I try to start on the Electricity Property. This will add another strategy level and hopefully be a reason to fight over more deserts, Oil Wells etc then before (especially if Oil would be stockpiling and the sources are balanced so well that they slowly run out during this time
)
etc, and having better "events" making building very very important to strive for is waaay better than all those that do, IMPO. I'd rather shoot for something that will make big strides rather than all those "little" buildings.
