The simple economy pays for propaganda out of the nation's culture stock and lapses a campaign it can no longer fund, but the tab quoted money and never named the store. Give culture the clapperboard icon as a non-tradeable resource like research, read the stock and the campaigns' daily drain out on the Propaganda tab, and price every campaign figure in culture when the simple economy runs.
The central bank now charts one point a day for a rolling ninety days, shipped rebased to 100, with alternating month columns named once along the bottom so no two dates collide; short games leave future days blank and the axis floor is pinned at 0 with the 100 baseline labelled. The market no longer clamps a price to 0.5-1.8x base: the day's supply and demand set an equilibrium (base * demand/supply) and the price eases toward it, so a sustained shortage lifts a good well past its old band while a glut cheapens it, and the price settles instead of compounding to infinity. The nation modal holds each scroll position across a snapshot rebuild so the foreign reserves below the fold stay put.
Food, steel, luxury and high-tech now share one flat month-long reserve. A region keeps bidding for the shortfall while its store is thin, so a war that empties a pantry refills it from the grid instead of starving; the harvest is served before the city load, unmet food bids the price up, the army's rations count as demand, and a converter that cannot cover its power bill idles instead of making a loss.
The delivery graph walks sea lanes any distance, so its walks are cached across days behind a road/railway/work/territory stamp and only dropped by a wartime unit move. Units are indexed per tile, market access and node populations are memoised for the day, and the server can settle a fresh world before serving (--warmup, 150 days by default).
Roadmap records the remaining follow-ups -- the politics/migration hot path and the luxury/high-tech price plateau -- and that freight's heavy energy draw is intended.
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.
Central banks now redeem the national money foreign banks hold, sell reserves to defend a weak rate, and cover part of strategic imports from reserves. Five repeatable technologies raise each commodity's output per unit of energy. Hostile troops on a road or sea lane sever trade, power and unit supply. Middlemen buy food to resell to neighbours at a markup, and starving regions buy before those topping up their buffers, which clears the landlocked famines. The economic map's trade graph gains a colour legend.
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.
