You don't think this goes right along with inquistion or Book burning? how hillarious would it be to see a few very religiuos tropicans standing on corners starting little protests.. The end is near ! Not decreasing productivty with some abitray number, but actually seen ingame in the form of mini protests from the religious, poping up in lots of places. protests would be completely ignored by intelectuals. but a lot of the population could get caught up in the whole thing.
thought bubbles..
If el president' says it it must be true (religous respect bonus +20)
Ohh jeeze not again.. (intelectual getting his respect for el president to drop -15)
Im gonna party like its 1999.. (any tropican that hits this thought changes objective to need to saticfy fun at double the ent value. like pub to him seams 140, not the actual 70) chance for any tropican thats not of either faction religious or intelectual
it doesnt mater my wife is still gonna make me take out the trash tonight. OR Who cares im gonna still watch tropican idol tonight! (no effect on the tropican)
With new interactive events, it could also increase the chance that a disaster happens, if it does people could convert to religious faction and give a permant bonus to religiuos faction, like +5 of something.. If not, people might leave it, but no other ill effects to religiuos. make it a permant effect, (perhaps adjust the numbers a bit) But similar to how nucular testing or some of the other edicts work. perhaps intelectuals will always have a slightly lesser veiw of el president for trying to pull this one over on the people. they think either he is just taking advantage of people, or he is looney and really thought it was true. then agian who knows,.. it might of happened and we dont even know it. IF it does happen they just think it was random chance.
It could also have the side effect of increasing money to your swiss fund from your banks. To me this could be the main reason to use this "meglomaniac Edict" perhaps it could double the rate for a short time, The end is near, aka 1 year from now, the edict doubles bank slush fund funneling for one year. costs 10k to activate. (one time only, cost is the same as papal vist) Its all a ploy from el presidente to play of the religious distract the population while he funnels huge money into his pockets.. in the end it should have a lasting effect on the population.
I dunno, i think it fits right in with tropico humor, and game play makes a lotta sence.. Im currious to those that dont like, what dont you like about it?
