Green Spaces DLC (Yeap, I'm contributing the idea for a future DLC)

Please don't take this comment harshly. I strongly disagree with your opinion.

1. The climate-related disasters that you name are not »region produced«, they're an amplification of already existing phenomenes, occuring more often and in stronger fashion. They are completely amoral and do happen in certain areas for meteorolical reasons. They are tied to global warming and as such can »punish« low emission people for the deeds of rich ones in more protected regions.
2. Green districts are not green. Solar and wind farms both require a lot of materials, redesigning grids, etc. Plus those are intermittent, they need a back up, that mostly is gas or coal nowadays. Batteries would never be available in the volume that would be required to make the switch and are far from »green«.
3. If by green architecture you're going the road of 100 meters or more buildings with swimming-pools every 2 floors but a bit of green here and there around the building with creepers on frames, it's not »green«. It's high tech and it can make people dream but it is not going to help.
4. The COP have proven to have as much power as the UNO to change the course of the world.

Sorry for the very negative response. It is of course intended only about the ideas and not towards you personally.

Hey, its alright. I can take it. You did make a few good points. I respect that. And yes, you pointed out something that is accurate, climate disasters are usually the result of actions by wealthier nations creating majority of the pollution. So perhaps the game itself could look at spawning a higher frequency of disasters in those richer nations (player's territories) where it's causing those disasters, and also in other areas of the map.

It would then incentivise the players to participate in the Congress to force the richer nation to opt for a "greener" civic and pathway.

As a game, I think it's important to remember that it doesn't have to closely reflect reality all the time. There should always be that element of "reimagination". And in games like Humankind/Civ 6, I feel that allowing a more positive outcome for player's positive decisions can be a good thing.

But ofcourse, in reality, like you have mentioned, it's going to require A LOT of effort to truly replace the current amount of natural resources we're burning to generate electricity.

Again, to try to keep with the reality of climate change, I did mention that those suggested features would help to reduce pollution, not eliminate it totally.

Thank you for having taken the time to reply.
I'm still not in favour of it but wish you good luck nonetheless to gather the required amount of upvotes.
Have a nice week-end!
