Capital City

Postby Purpelia » Thu Feb 03, 2011 6:02 am

Everyone here knows the capital city issue.
I need to ask thou, what are the effects of option #5?

I mean, 1 and 2 are clear cut and so are 3 and 4. But #5 is a mystery.

I second this. I, too, would like to know the outcome; not only the outcome of 5, but the outcome of all of them just to make it clear.

Thank you in advance.

It basically says your government is firing lots of politicians in an effort to make your government "slimmer", if I recall correctly.

*sigh*
Here are the two questions I have about it:
1. Does it give me the ability to name a capital?
2. Does it shrink my government expenditures thus making my government work better?

I would imagine a no to 1, and a yes to 2.

If I ask a question on a proposed issue thread, then it's because I feel it's one you need to ask of your issue: I'm being Socratic and/or lazy.

Can anyone confirm or deny that? I need to be sure.

What effect are you looking for? If it's the not getting to select a capital you're afraid of, don't worry. The issue will reappear every now and then. At least that's what keeps happening to me with the religion issue when I select the agnostic choice.

To clarify, the issue can reappear unless the field is unlocked.

I am afraid that I will have to wait for months again!
These issues just come once in a billion years and when it comes to the important ones I need to get it right.

Either help or don't.

Well, everything except for unlocking the option in settings you can counter with other issues.

And now checking the issue, the woring would suggest that no, you won't get to pick a capital:

"What's wrong with the old building?" asks @@RANDOMNAME@@, a noted disestablishmentarian. "We don't need some kind of fancy capital city just to make the bigwig ministers feel important! If there's no room, then fire politicians until there IS room. Have you never heard of doing more with less?"

This is frustrating, someone should really document all the issues and just what each of the option does and make a wiki or something. That way those of us who want to munchkin would be able to do so.

Well, there's all the issues without what each option does. Of course, there's always an uncertain outcome when it comes to life.

That list is not really usefully at all. It's like a book of unsolved math problems.
