The simple economy is now the default and the old simulation is frozen as the hard model, selectable per game. A nation keeps one resource pool available in every region, fed by public production works rather than private per-region stores, and construction and training begin at once, paced by the region's spare power instead of gathering materials over days.
Money is euro only: a per-inhabitant daily tax funds a treasury spent in a global market, where buy and sell lots trade against the world stock and move its price. The hard economy keeps its per-nation currencies, central banks and exchange rates.
Simple games skip the price-settling warmup and economic migration; the snapshot carries the economy model, the market and the pool figures the client draws. Added the matching test suites and the design briefs under docs/simple_economy.
Rebalanced the resource rules so nothing is priced primarily in money: steel, electricity and high-tech lead every construction bill, chip foundries are seeded everywhere instead of being hand-placed, and cities open with stores of steel and high-tech. City building rows now lead with the resource bill and keep the money as an aside, and the region's resources expand into the buildings that demand them. Pulled the graph and cost maths into a framework-free shared/economy_graph.js, quoted currency through one helper, and gave every data table the same striping and row highlight.
World generation now aims at a fixed share of the ice-free tiles (60%) instead of a minimum continent count, bisecting the water level for it rather than sweeping every step, and still joins the ocean into one body. Ice and tundra are the outermost rows only, scaled down on small maps so the fixtures keep usable land.
Cities score their site, coastal plains best and landlocked worst, avoiding tundra and desert. Every nation that holds a coast gets a port city on each island it owns, and any landmass left empty is settled by the nearest nation, so no land starts unowned. A coastal city opens with a port already built.
Bundles the in-progress work in the tree: the commodity monthly price series and inflation the central bank's chart reads, and the rolling city-to-city migration graph the population map draws as flow arrows.
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.
