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.
GDP per capita had no natural growth, so a nation's economy only moved
when population, buildings or war did. The summary stats also offered
inconsistent hover text: a native browser tooltip for popularity and none
at all for the budget.
- Every land tile now gains a constant 0.01% of the GDP per capita it
opened with, once a day. Because the amount is fixed the relative growth
rate tapers over the years. Each tile's opening figure is snapshotted
once and shipped to the browser, so the tile panel and the GDP-per-capita
map mode stay in step with the server.
- The population, GDP and GDP/capita tooltips show the relative growth:
against 1 January 2000 through the first year, then year on year. The
monthly captures now keep a rolling thirteen months for the baseline.
- Every summary stat explains itself through the same custom bubble.
Popularity's native title moved onto it, and Budget forecasts the next
calendar month at the current hourly net, as a compact figure such as
"+€3.28B/mo" (hoursInNextMonth follows the real calendar).
- The tile GDP breakdown shows gains with a plus sign (natural growth,
ports) rather than the old minus.
Added tests for the constant daily gain, the falling relative rate, the
first-year and year-on-year baselines, the snapshot baseline, the budget
forecast and the calendar month length.
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.
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.
