WWI-WWII turn based strategy.
Humans use tools to change resources into things. So Workers + Factories + Resources = Production. That's the basic relation.
But how exactly present it? The most obvious equation Production=min(Workers,Factories... |

WWI population & conscription
|
Reasonably realistic (not necessarily historical) WWI-WWII turn based simulator. Timescale around 2-10 years.
Population is presented as working population (children and eldery excluded). I would say 30% of them can be conscripted (50% are fem... |

Research and implementation
|
You spend research points, the technology pops up. So far so good. But how about implementation of the new technology? What about the cost of building newly researched things, infrastructure needed, better factories high-tech enough to be able to pro... |

Resources and ore deposits

Turn strategy about industrial revolution.
I want to make an interesting resource system. Maybe not anything thrilling but something that would make these feel different and force player to make some decisions. What I want to avoid (at least a bit... |

Population, buildings and land

Turn based strategy.
There is land (one variable describing number of plots of land) and population (one variable). Each plot of land allows 1 building, unoccupied land is considered farmland. Buildings are the most important things in the game, t... |

Problem with trivial choice bonuses

I always had this problem with multiplier bonus using the same resource as the multiplied base. No matter what, there is always one optimal path. Like this for example:
We have 2 unit types, soldier and officer, both cost the same. Soldier ha... |

’ "maximum of how much of your economy you're willing to devote to weapons" is not realistic, because many customer goods do not compete for resources with military production. ’

Except that production of weapons (or any other thing on a national scale) is going to be funded by taxes, bonds, or deficits-- more funding for war production will decrease money that consumers have to spend o... |

War industry & economy

I should have noted at the start that my budget for this game is 4-8 hours of coding :) So I'm looking for abstact and simple solutions. There will be soldiers, workers, factories (one type) and one abstract resource. Maybe a few more, but overa... |

Good point... For 1-15 years war breeding rates during war are irrelevant since all workers and soldiers had to be born before war anyway.
There was the Volkssturm and even younger c... |

If your game is only lasting 2-10 years, then you're not exactly going to have time to worry about 'breeding' rates. Good point... For 1-15 years war breeding rates during war are irrelevant since all workers and... |

Engaging combat

Research and implementation

For Starcraft research and implementation stage does not apply, since you have no research points. Everything costs minerals and gas. So if you invent zerglings upgrade we could say you paid for implementation as well since you paid with resources.

I have a game design dilemma and could use some advice
