Quality

Get rid of power quality, it is insane.
there is only one level of power quality in the real world, your machine either runs because it has enough power or it does not run and can not produce your goods. Regardless it will not improve nor detract from the quality level of the goods being produced.

Also I think that water quality should be able to be researched.
One trip to Mexico will tell you that there is more than one kind of water and improvements can be made on water being produced.

No, the ideal behind this is that it gives a chnace for small companys to make power and water and it will still in need, If you could researche it small players would be swamped,

About the power he is right , he doesn't ask we should be able to research it , but he ask that the power QO isn't including in quality calculations
For ex :
WOOD : WOOD Q + WATER Q + POWER Q + SEEDS Q

Devided by 4 .

he ask that it would be

Wood : WOOD Q + SEEDS Q + WATER Q

DEvided by 3
Am i right ?

still, It makes the game to easy, Like take, seeds

with your suggestion

seeds= q6 = q6 seeds

normale

seeds q6 + water q0 = q3 seeds

it makes it mor of a challenge

But how does your power increase the productivity of your seeds ?

I say leave the power quality. Why? *Like ganman but for power*

Ads = q14 = q 14

That would be insain.

than change the quality calculations !
Ads : It's not because your television is feeded bye powere company A , that what you'll see on it would be better if it was feed by company B

Why change the quality when it works just fine now? Don't fix something that isn't broke.

Its not my point of changing , but claryfining why its not correct .
You have a point , its a good system , but its kinda weird .

Firstly, there most definitely are quality differences in power. And I'm not talking about the cleanliness of the source, since once the power is made that's invisible. There is an actual quality to power: consistency.

Perhaps back in science class you had some type of setup where you turned a crank to power a lighbulb. (Or using an exercise bike is a popular museum type of thing.) Naturally as you turned faster the bulb got brighter. Well what if you were the power source, how steady could you keep that going? Not very. Yet it's very bad for most of our gadgets to have variance. Obviously a higher voltage is dangerous, but in many cases a lower one can damage circuits as well.

So a higher quality power will stay much more tightly to the promised voltage. And there are other attributes that should be kept constant (for example, what frequency does your alternating current alter at?) Fortunately, most of us are used to high quality power.

Now as for it's inclusion in the quality calculations, that is a bit arbitrary. But the whole quality system is rather arbitrary. Look at wine for example, it uses grapes, sugar, glass, and water. Those 5 (plus research) contribute equally to the output. But really, shouldn't that be 70% grapes, 20% research, and 10% for the rest?

I think we just have to accept that they are arbitrary values to get the game working, and then base our decisions off of that.

GOOD, ANd i like all games things cannot be completly relistic, If for example, In one of my games, you can get some SAS witch are brtish special forces, for the un educated, whell only they can swim, And if you leave them there theyl just keep swimming till the game ends, but say they put a limite to how long they could swim, They just drown, Then people after a big battle relise theyr SAS are dead and all that for nothing, like the human brain could not keep up with all this. Then there is the element of fun, we all know any human (to a point) can walk thro forest but in the game only then frenche can do that, This places the element that the frenche (this is true) are good at gorilla warfare witch is

Hidding waiting attacking running

This way other civs have to adate to that civs special powers, Like germany is good for fast head on strong attacks, Russia is good at making masse armys that are under equipe and weak but they win in numbers and for every man they loss they get a part of resources back.....

Pm if you want to know what game this is
