How can I get rid of the Global Warming?

hi ,

one way to get the attention of others , being it the AI or other players is to set the pollution terrain to coast , ....

correction on floodplain ; if you take a look in the editor you have the option to put it as the default pollution terrain , ........ but dont ask if this gives the river with it , ..... never tried that one before , .....

have a nice day

Found that assigning a negative pollution value to an improvement does work. However, if the improvement is provided by a Wonder, it doesn't work. Specifically, Hoover Dam. Had Hydro plants set to provide -2 pollution. Built Hoover and it didn't make the pollution symbols vanish. Played another game, built a factory and a hydro plant and the pollution symbols vanished when the hydroplant was built.

In my upcoming mod, Flood plains turn to coast (to represent over-flooding of the flood plain). Tundra also turns to grasslands, to plains, to desert. Coast to sea to ocean. Play long enough with pollution out of control and the world drowns.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Like the polar icecaps melting.

That was the plan. The land masses continue to shrink and desertify (if that is even a word) if pollution grows. I added a lot more pollution to several improvements, and added almost as much expensive improvements with negative pollution. That way if you want the production boost, you will risk destroying the planet with your pollution unless you shell out some dough to build these improvements. At that point you are basically trading economy for production, which you may or may not need to do depending on your situation.

I also made the best anti-pollution buildings only available to Democracy. The downside to demacracy is that the people REALLY revolt now if you are at war, so Diplomacy becomes much more important if you want to maintain the planet....

I think I am getting off topic, so I will just end this post here.

hi ,

try to flag "removes building pollution" and "removes pop polution" , it should work then , ......

have a nice day

The reason why I started this thread, is that I HATE when terrain is changing. I my scenarios, I always set worker job to NONE for every terrain. Only thing that can be done, is mining and irrigation. Not even forests can be cut down. I guess, when I've worked for days building a cool map, I don't want it to change in the game.

However, removing pollution alltogether makes the game very unrealistic. I want pollution to appear so that civs have to deal with pollution problems and clean it up, build recycling centres, mass transits, etc. But I can really do without the damned global warming. In my new scenario, I've set the pollution effect for every terrain to NONE, and hopefully this will work. We'll see when I get industrialized... If terrain start changing again I'll snap.

hi ,

huh , workers to none , so how do you build railroads then after a they are blown up , ......

setting the terrain to "none" will results indeed to no changes what so ever because of global warming , ......

the only way to change them , and its only mountains to hill's and hill's to grassland is true nukes , .....

have a nice day

Amesjustin, that is a really freakin' cool idea.

[The Mad Monk]

I just discovered this -- excellent! I've hated the terrain change feature, especially since they removed the engineer transform feature.

Amesjustin,

A fantastic concept that will definately make you make some interesting choices, but also parrallels reality.

[Amesjustin]

Yeah you really have to think about where you put your cities Coastal and Flood Plains especially.

But I don't want to hijack XPFusions thread. He doesn't like changing terrain, and I think this mod in particular really does not appeal to him.

Removing worker jobs and setting the pollution effect to none in the Terrain tab of the editor should eliminate the issue of terrain changing for you.
