Unit orders now gather steel and high-tech over the days before training, exactly as buildings do, and clicking a queued order reveals what it is gathering, its reserved budget and the soldiers it will draw.
The trade graph cached a producer-less node list under a stamp that already reflected the producers' stores, so every seeded mine stayed invisible to buyers and rare-good prices settled at a huge multiple of base; the storage nodes are now re-read after production.
Money gifts draw the giver's central-bank reserves in the denomination first, buy the rest from the issuing bank at the market rate, convert into the receiver's currency, and cannot buy from a bank their nation is at war with.
Pruned the finished design briefs (intelligence, stacks, air movement, politics performance, economy balance, training UI and FIXME) and refreshed the index and cross-references.
- The monthly budget breaks each expense into the resource bought, its quantity and the average price paid: tile improvements already did, and now every upkeep row (buildings, units, works, transport) does too.
- Private producers settle their daily wear from their own cash and borrow the shortfall from the central bank, so their cash never goes negative.
- Producers fund their own construction and upgrades on the same credit; the treasury pays only for public works, roads and railways, and no private purchase is filed as a public tile-improvement expense.
- The server settles the world until every commodity holds within 10% over a trailing seven days instead of a fixed 150, capped by --warmup (0 skips it).
- The shipped month report carries its label again, so the budget header and pager name the month.
City building orders now keep their production-queue slot but open in a materials phase: the order reserves the market value of its steel and high-tech, buys from the nation's own stores and reachable suppliers once a day, and only joins a construction line once the bill is settled, so a city with no supplier simply waits. The queue, the city panel and the quick view show the gathering progress instead of a stalled bar.
Buildings and tile improvements now take a tenth of the old time; unit training is untouched. Any material money left over is returned when the work completes.
Every road, railway and tile work now rises as an economic construction site instead of a queue entry. A site gathers its materials over days from reachable regions, refusing any supplier quoting above the price it was budgeted at (a 1% tolerance); a day that buys nothing stalls the site, raising a red mark and letting the nation raise the budget to current prices or cancel it. The upfront budget covers the build cost plus the market value of its steel and high-tech, energy stays a grid draw, and any money left over stays with the finished work as a maintenance reserve.
That reserve now pays the work's own daily steel and high-tech wear before the treasury is billed, so a well funded work spares the state until it runs dry; the spent money is paid into the nation's regions. Building upgrades run through the same gather-build-maintain machinery, sharing the site's kind flag and target level. The legacy tile-work queue and the market building are gone.
Bundles the in-progress chart sizing for the central bank panel.
