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.
- 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.
Roads are pre-generated between cities with a greedy geometric spanner and flatten unit movement cost. City improvements now only affect the tiles their region controls, with per-region tax collection and a Cities tab. The budget is a grouped, scrollable table with 25%/year tax and a 10%-of-GDP opening treasury. Also merged the tile info into the city panel, kept conflict and budget expansion state across snapshots, added join notifications, filled border corners, drew battle sides as stacks and made tab overflow scroll.
