World Simulation Ideas - 95 views
-
I had an idea when I played the game that might effect the outcome of events. I think that nature has a lot to do with the economy in certain countries and some natural disasters make a country change how it works and what it does. Some how I think it would be more realistic to add natural disasters to the game. It costs countries time and hard power to rebuild after that and it also can bring people together if a nation goes out and asks for help from a neighbor. It might create different ties between countries than just the little vs big guys. It brings a different dynamic to the game but I dont quite know how it would work out. Any ideas?

Compared to dramatic narrative films, documentaries typically have far lower budgets.
-
since they are fairly cheep to make, I think this is a good way to reach people who are at the top. To helo them see the not so green grass on the other side and then maybe they will want to do something about it. If you saturate the industry eith true, disturbing documentaries, they will not be able to be avoided.
