Production buildings are now independent private-sector agents: they keep what their output sells for, run only to the demand they can actually sell, and spend that cash on steel and high-tech upgrades when their demand grows. Grid power is a paid private flow between plants and their consumers, and regions synthesise the food their own harvest and the reachable market cannot supply.
Island regions no longer famine: a region with no reachable supplier grows its whole shortfall from energy, and grid power now feeds cities and food before the converters, so a famine never waits on a factory.
Bundles the in-progress tree cleanup that was already present in the working tree.
- Five resources (energy, steel, food, luxury, high-tech) with per-city stores, a world market, delivery and material upkeep.
- Resource-producing tile works built outside cities; every nation opens with the works its economy needs.
- Real game-icons.net art replacing the dummy icons for the new resources and works, with the credits updated.
The catalogue had grown a barracks, wartime shelters, an air-defense
battery, a warm-water port and a shipyard, but only as data: infantry
still trained without a barracks, shelters did nothing, and an airport was
just an airbase. Each building now names the rule it grants with a
`mechanic` id, so the simulation and the city panel describe the same
thing without magic strings.
- Barracks and shipyards open one more production line each. A line sticks
to one entry at full rate, so two units build at once rather than the
head absorbing every line; the base behaviour (one queue, overflow
carrying into the next entry) is unchanged.
- Wartime shelters keep 10% of civilians per level safe from bombardment
and are very hard to knock down, and ranged fire can now destroy a
building level outright, with no refund. Each building rolls its own
chance per point of damage, from a generator seeded off the world so a
bombardment replays identically.
- Air defense fires one volley at a hostile aircraft the moment it enters
the city tile, scaled by its level; a plane shot down never drops its
bombs.
- A port adds 1000 GDP per capita per level, per adjacent sea tile, to
every tile in its region.
- An airport draws a daily trickle of people from every other airport city
in the world, scaled by the destination's level.
- Wired the new effects into the city panel and taught the repeatable
Industrial Automation to satisfy other technologies' prerequisites.
Added tests for each mechanic and for the parallel lines.
- Tile improvements (fortifications, radar towers, coastal cannons), trenches,
zone of control, support-unit capture and launch transports, with parabolic
barrage arcs drawn between attacker and target.
- Focused research that pours points straight into the chosen technology, with
per-technology progress kept when the focus changes, plus repeatable levels.
- Popularity reworked to integer points, war and pillage effects, minority
policies and month-over-month arrows on the nation summary.
- City progress bars, square improvement buttons, a technology tab of wide
short cards with progress bars, transport cargo readout and double-click to
open a city panel.
- the nation summary shows own-government approval, white in the neutral 40-60% band, red below and green above
- the city and government panels keep a fixed size per tab, dock below the summary and no longer cover it, and their tab bar wraps instead of being clipped
- propaganda campaigns grow exponentially harder near their opinion ceiling or floor, so the last percent are the hardest to win
- memoised city, nation and matrix approval against the politics version, invalidated by territory redraws, so snapshots stop recomputing it every frame
- extracted the duplicated modal tab wiring into modals/tabs.js
- tests: campaign-difficulty, approval-colour and cache-invalidation cases (513 pass)
