Global warming

[HazieDaVampire]

anybody think we need a better way of telling how much gloabal warming we have in a game?

How about a metre?
Or a more drastic sun, like it changes to lots of other colours, from black, to blue, to red, to yellow, to white!

[WarpStorm]

There is already a 3 color sun. The colors are exactly backwards from what I'd have done, but they do show different levels (white->yellow->red). You aren't really polluting till you get the red sun.

[Coracle]

What we really need is a NUCLEAR WINTER for all those people who just LOVE to drop nukes all over the map. THAT would be reality.

[WarpStorm]

Yeah, Coracle, that Nuclear Winter could counteract the Global Warming and let me reach new heights of productivity.

[Dimorier Maximus]

I couldn't resist voting banana, but a meter would be nice.

[HazieDaVampire]

Nuclear winter sounds cool! But after a while it would return to normal anyway, but most people would be dead!

I voted leave it like it is. There is a 3 color sun, that shows about how many tiles are gonna degrade.

No sun = No Global Warming
White = Maybe a tile will flip, maybe not
Yellowish = 1 or more tiles will flip
Red = Every time I got here we are talking 10+ tiles

Kind of a moot point to show a further progression after Red, you world is gonna suck.

[HazieDaVampire]

i didn't actualy know, i was told it went white and it was bad so i used to try to reduce my polution, in my current game i'm gunna try and screw the world real bad!

[WarpStorm]

When I say 10+ tiles, I mean a turn. I've had a few games where there was nothing left to degrade It was pretty much all desert.

[HazieDaVampire]

ah, good old Karak! Shame we burnt it with Fire storm planetary bombardment missles.

What we really need is a way to turn pollution and global warming off during MP play. The game is long enough and this just might shorten it enough to make MP more enjoyable.

[HazieDaVampire]

you mean people not scared to use nukes?
I don't think i'll play civ3 games from anceint ages, i'll just play scenarios! Much more fun, and alot faster.
