Europeans (see the addon) have implemented some parts of the efficiency concept this could / should be added with the waste concept. If a building runs on high efficiency it produces waste as a byproduct which needs to be stored in special waste deponies. these deponies may be able to bury waste into the earth up to a certain limit. but this pollutes the environment making it unfertile for trees. so you need to manage the waste in terms of road system and space Top Quote

What drives the economy? Water is a very cheap and easy to produce ressource, but the big problem with water is the following: it heavily blocks roads, not at the beginning, but when the economy grows and expand to all four sides, your roads soon get heavily blocked. The other thing with water is that i just build a well, and finished. Did you look at the table provided? This tribe needs water for planting crops, making building material and training soldiers. This compensates for less trees to cut and use and is a very new and appealing concept, as it leads to other needs in the economy and different things to manage, which is exactly what you demand an interesting concept in gameplay. Road blocks is not the fault of the ware water but of bad design in the road network. So please do not judge on things you haven't read. All in all gameplay changes are the most important thing to face for comming tribes, as you want some tribes that really differ, like the Amazons who created sucessfully a concept without needing iron (or coalmines) - at all. but such concepts need to fit into a character background of a tribe to give them more depth.

I know it is just a concept, the water needs optimization, consumption may be lowered and the tribe would probably not be ideal for beginners (traffic jams, preferences setting). Strength of soldiers should be fine and balanced as it is. The theme suits perfectly to Sumerians. Their irrigation is well known. I don’t say it has to be realized in this way. But to me, it looks like a very nice concept. That I wanted to share. I know it is not easy to realize. hessenfarmer wrote: Europeans (see the addon) have implemented some parts of the efficiency concept this could / should be added with the waste concept.

It is like new extraterrestrial tribe. Top Quote

For the lack of a better name letzs call them industrialists. Top Quote

IMHO, I would call them Pleiadians. The tribe from stars Merope, Sterope and Asterope with a very advanced technology comes to save our polluted environment. I hope they will win. Top Quote
