The really small detail that I liked was how the introduction of automation rose unemployment. This actually reflects on what Marx stated that as technology increases efficiency the average person will become liberated from needing to work to survive to working as a bonus. As such, not everyone will choose to and the game reflected that. A small detail but a cool one!

@Plainsburner 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, it would have big ramifications globally, but would probably be great at the local level. Right now the US is one of the biggest forces defending trade lanes, and we kinda use that as a way to bully certain nations into doing what we want. US withdrawing from global waters may seriously impact maritime trade safety if done before other nations could build up an adequate navy. I am a big proponent of lowering global presence however, it is completely unnecessary legacy of the cold war.
