Eh, we got fudgy physics. I say we make the best use of that by introducing fusion engines!

Fudge physics is the next level up.

But fusion engines might be getting close to full hard.

I'd argue against resource scarcity. If we end up having that, we'd be more focused on just preserving existing supply lines and factories rather than actually doing anything. It's not a bad scenario, but it's tone where this sort of game wouldn't work in.
Resource Scarcity did get voted in however. Don't worry though, you won't be needing to balance oil supplies or anything. It just means that you might have to take care of alternative resources to build things.

Mass geothermal-plants + hydrogen generation (hydrogen cell cars/trucks/light planes + electric heating) for civilian populace use.

Army uses dino juice while it lasts then goes to synth-diesel (algae to produce hydrocarbons).

Bam, we have almost unlimited power (and can trade any overflow!). Now steel, concrete and others might be a problem...

Hmm. Though then again, depending on the setting, the scarce resources might just be the stuff that just makes the marginal techs effective or the like. So while we have regular resources in abundance, we don't have those particular ones that just so happens to be the stuff everyone's fighting over.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

No you didn't. You got a bit of leeway in marginally usefull technologies.

Anyway, I have another problem, which is a name for the thread.

Also, another another problem. No names for the nation.

Only suggestion so far is being Sengoku Jidai II

East Kardikstan?

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Well, Sengoku Jidai II (and it's not a country name too) is disqualified, seeing as how we are on a different planet.

I guess East Kardikstan is fine.

Even better, it would be a nice plot hook for us to be a nation that just seceded from West Kardikstan after a war, making for a nice tense border that justifies military buildup!
