Since the Strategic and Luxury resource rework, It game me an idea on how to change the Australians culture to make them a bit more interesting to play. Here are the changes I want to see.

Make Australians new Legacy trait..

+5% Industry on all Cities

+0.1% Industry on all Cities per strategic resource owned

Give Strip Mining Complex this new trait in addition to it's current one...

- Grants +2 Access on adjacent strategic resource extractor

Why not? It makes sense right? If the Strip Mining Complex is a giant mining machine designed to be placed next to Strategic resources, it should give more Strategic Resource yields right?

Basically I want Australians to focus in more around Strategic Resources and acquiring them, and territories rich with them. I think that'd be more unique compared to a simple flat bonus to industry production

Thank you, and I hope you take my idea into consideration for the next update.

Hey,

Thanks for the feedback. It's an interesting idea.

Not sure if the Strip Mine bonus is possible at a technical level... I think bonuses to the resource yields are processed at the city level, not tied directly to tiles, but I could be mistaken.

While it may not be possible, I like the adjacency bonus idea if for nothing else, than an edge case of near-shore oil deposit, which would imply some madman deciding to strip-mine next to it and dig to the underwater deposit.

Strip mine of horses, which is completely different pair of shoes, aside. I assume it's just Dr. Hammond digging through the stuff at the bottom, providing the state with ride-able raptors.

Cheap jokes aside, I like the general vibe of this idea, multiplication of resources was an important change and there are some Cultures, future and existing, that could play well into that.

Dinosaur Cavalry makes every game at least 50% better. Change my mind.

Can we have a "meca" version for Contemporary Era?

Only if we get some kaiju as a counter.

Guys, stop making this sound even better! Dinosaurs, mecha, and kaiju? How many more boxes do you want to tick for me?
