DISCLAIMERS :
Some subjects of this game seem to be quite polemic in some countries. Here are some disclaimers about them

1. This indie game main purpose is being a game and a time waster.

2. If you dont believe in global warming and dont like hearing a bit about it, then dont play this game and go for wikipedias article "Global warming controversy" instead.

3. Scientists have not proved (yet?) that the rise of temperature has something to do with a rise of hurricanes power. I know it but still, I just believe its a fine idea of gameplay and a good metaphor of the dangers of the rise of temperature. This an old-school videogame, not an essay :-)

4. The position of mines, climate conditions, proportions of rivers, economic rankings etc. tend to reflect reality but are not the "real reality" for sure!! If you think theres a problem with a country, please tell me so ! Ill cross check your facts and Ill change its stats in the game, if possible.

5. About frontiers & borders now .... The map has been made in 2014 from a 2000s source. You may find borders are not accurate from your countrys political point of view. Im sorry if it hurts you but this game isnt about borders at all but about ecology and I cant resolve all the conflicts there were about borders in the last century in one game.

6. The borders are not the 1850s ones and it may seems a little odd because it is said its starting in 1850. Its like this because the world was, at the time, very different from now, with lots of differents names, small kingdoms, Empires and colonies and much more problem with borders than now ... It would have been difficult to add a way to deal with that across time in a game that try to focus on the story of the energy transition. It would have been a mess. Also, the game needs you to recognize quickly the countries names of the world so these are some reasons why it has been chosen to keep the beginning of the XXI centurys worlds (midly accurate) borders.

7. Nuclear power. The game may please and displease both anti-s and pro-s nuclear : when there is a growth, Nuclear is perfectly safe (with no words about radwaste and hurricane-proof, thats quite a gift!) but when theres a crisis, when countries have no more money, then nuclear plants may explode, just like Tchernobyl, meaning with an economic impact. Again, this is a sci-fi game and the developer is not a lobbyist.

***

I hope youll have a nice time playing that not-so serious game and saving planet earth from auto-destruction, numerous times!
