Opinions differ on how to pluralize acronyms[*], but let's be consistent: say "BTUs", not "BTU's". [*] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronym#Representing_plurals_and_possessives Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@pond.sub.org>

.LV Basic

.s1
|
|
Taxation of the civilian populace is one of the main providers of income
|
|
to an Empire nation (gold bars in banks, trade ships, and taxes from
|
|
uws being the only other sources of income in the game).
|
|
Also, only friendly civilians can be enlisted into the army, navy and
|
|
air force.
|
|
.s1
|
|
The willingness of the civilian population to work is initially 100%
|
|
-- that is, all of the people are working. In the event that the
|
|
sector starves or falls victim to revolutionary subversion, the work
|
|
of the sector will decrease. This will be shown by the work %
|
|
decreasing. During the update, the work % is influenced by the loyalty
|
|
of the sector.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If people starve in a sector, the amount of work they do drops to 0
|
|
(because they are too weak to work).
|
|
.s1
|
|
The loyalty of a sector is a hidden value, which represents how loyal
|
|
the citizens in the sector are to your country. Initially the
|
|
disloyalty is set to 0. When a sector is captured the disloyalty is
|
|
set to 50. Besides from influencing the work % of a sector, the
|
|
loyalty influences the chances on revolts, che in general and whether
|
|
civilians will report to your army when enlisting reserves. Loyalty
|
|
changes during the update by happiness or lack thereof. When retaking
|
|
a sector you are the old owner of, the disloyalty in the sector will
|
|
be 0 again. If the people in the sector had to fight for it themselves
|
|
in a revolt, some disloyalty will remain. If the occupation force of a
|
|
sector is too small, or if the sector starves, disloyalty will
|
|
increase.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If a sector is a conquered sector,
|
|
the old owner will be shown in the appropriate column
|
|
on the census report.
|
|
Friendly sectors allow enlistment of military,
|
|
as well as the ability to move the civilians freely about.
|
|
Occupied civilians will not move,
|
|
and friendly civilians cannot enter these sectors.
|
|
In addition, occupied civilians will not serve in the armed forces.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If the thought of not being able
|
|
to move conquered populace bothers you,
|
|
then you have the option of converting these conquered people
|
|
into uncompensated workers,
|
|
involving the expenditure of BTUs and money
|
|
(for the paperwork).
|
|
If all the conquered people in one sector are converted to uw's,
|
|
then the sector is then marked as yours.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If the people in a sector are unhappy
|
|
(due to starvation, subversion, or lack of happiness)
|
|
they can go on strike and cease working.
|
|
You can get them back to work by heavy-handed military control
|
|
(placing one military for each 20 striking civilians).
|
|
.s1
|
|
Finally, your populace requires happiness to keep their enthusiasm
|
|
for work going. As technology and education increase,
|
|
your work force expects to share in the increased levels
|
|
by getting more consumer items (VCRs, BMWs, etc)
|
|
represented by happy strollers.
|
|
If you don't have at least one happiness point
|
|
per two units of education,
|
|
and a point for each forty units of tech,
|
|
your people will not be happy.
