is there a pollution function that effects the game regions?

How about crime ?

I know this is a little sim city(old days style,not that sim soap opera stuff out today),but I think there really should be at least a pollution effect to over industrilizing (man did I mangle that spelling or what ?).

TK got it right on the head with this suggestion.

Both ideal are great Pollution and Crime. One cant live without the other I say

The game offers a number of social issues to be played with. Depending on your investment you will get a quality rating for Health Care, Infrastructure, Law enforcement, Family Subsidy, Culture, Education and yes, Environment. Obviously, outside factors such as density of polluting industries will have an affect. Remember that we offer cleaner power sources if the player is willing to spend the extra cash. Uranium isn't cheap these days

There's actually a few things we offer for players that want to try to take a more "environmentally friendly" approach. As was mentioned there is the option for cleaner power industries, including the option to research future technologies such as fusion power.

As well, you are able to designate areas as parkland, or take away such designations from existing parks - do you drill in the Arctic Wildlife reserve? There will be both an separate "environmental" rating for each region, as well as an overall public approval effect.

This aspect may not interest most players, but some may find it interesting to try to run a region and stay environmentally sound.

What about offering incentives so players might take on this challenge as well? Suppose the WTO gives out sanctions/embargos on enviromentally unfriendly states or bonuses/discounts on those who comply with regulations..

"Sanctions" are a possibility, but more likely it is just another factor that goes to your International Approval Rating. (Which can lead to Economic & Military Aid, etc...)

This thread is extremely old, the idea of pollution effects was dropped a few years ago.

Personally I think the game is complex enough as it is...some people are gluttons for punishment.

cocco78 · Post by **cocco78** » Jun 25 2005

but some reserch serve in order to lower the pollution, so...?!?!?!

I could be wrong here, but i think polution is still modeled very loosely in the "environment" part of social services.

As mentioned there are techs that lower polution and help parts of social services .
Waste management tech -lowers polution 5% and raises health care rating by 5%

That is very true, pollution effects became nothing more that DAR factors.

And BTW, Tkobo was one of our first memebers. He signed up the same day as me! Remember to respect you're seniors ppl!

No, but he has contributed consistently over the last 3 years. We certainly appreciate his time and input.
