new civ3 feature INTEREST income...please confirm firaxis

should be some kind of food waste too.. many times in history soldiers and aristocrats/leaders have taken a cities food to live in a higher state of health, although if you take food values as representing growth.. like birth rate this wouldn't be affected by corruption.

What about if they have a National debt feature too, if it gets too much in comparison to your civs size.. you have to sell something , or the world bank stops you quick buying and using any extra money (can't build more units as they take money)

Now with all this talk about loans and such, what about the idea of war bonds or some kind of defecit spending during times of war? This way units can be rush-built and supported beyond your treasury, yet, you could seriously hurt long-term growth if you can't make up that defecit soon after the war?

Cool I Idea Serapis!! We can only hope they have already included that into Civ, as it is probably to late to implement it if they have not.

The way I figured the idea, it would work a bit like the public-bonds in SimCity2000 (never played 3000). It'd be more of a last-ditch money fix as, if you can't pay it back soon, city-improvements start getting sold to pay off the debt, unhappiness increases, or cities even revolt.
