Chlorophage (hideous event, liable to occur in all games)

Requires Laboratory anywhere in the world. There is NO notification that this event has occurred.

A Farm in the triggering city ceases to produce food, and the tile becomes desert next turn as the chlorophage virus destroys chlorophyll. If not sterilised, effect spreads to an adjacent tile (farm, forest or city) each turn. Effect is also spread by units moving through affected tiles, so can be spread by units on shipboard and by ships and aircraft leaving an infected city.

Remedy: destroy by ICBM attack, even in your own territory. Such attacks bring no diplo penalty and do not contribute to global warming, but you'd better be certain that where you attack is indeed infected !

Risk: there is a 5% chance that the virus will mutate after nuclear attack instead of being destroyed. The mutated form spreads each turn to 4 of the 8 tiles adjacent to the mutated infection, and has a 10% chance of surviving another ICBM. Get a Space victory before the world becomes uninhabitable.

[Öjevind Lång]

Civic: robber capitalism.

Each turn, you sink deeper in debt because you have to service the debts and pay the exeutive bonuses of a lot of incompetent, greedy and dishonest banks.

Caused by running a deficit too long. Can only be abolished through a prolonged period of anarchy during which nothing works, but at least the banks don't demand all your money any longer.
