Suggestion for a new Corruption model

[Sovereign]

As someone said earlier, sometimes Reality has to be sacrificed for good gameplay. But in this case, I think the gameplay will reflect reality, based on huge nations like Russia, China, India, and USA producing equally in all areas, even distant from the capitol, such as my examples stated above.

If you make the system complex, then the average player won't understand how it works, no matter how well documented it is. And besides, how often are these things documented anyway, let alone well?

I disagree. The only ones who would be affected with complex formulas, etc. would be the 'ultra-micromanagers', and those that enjoy dissecting every detail of the game, not the average player. Like I said, if the system is well-documented, there shouldn't be any problems.

(I'll probably have lots of people on Apolyton disagreeing with me since there seems to be a lot of those ultra-micromanagers here. )

heh Vxma.

I'm trying to craft a new corruption model that will appeal to the widest audience possible.

I guess I should become a game designer.

I disagree. The model is already simple, and can be explained in 2 lines. Sure the maths is more intricate, but that will always be the case.

Good luck. Get rid of corruption, that would appeal to me, but probably not others.
