BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Modify Stats section before Perks subsection to:

Each CIC’s support staff, available infrastructure and the talent of the CIC themselves all coalesce into Stats. A CIC may increase any of their Stats at any time, unless doing so would cause their Stats to exceed 100 in total. Stats are all 0 by default, are tracked in the GNDT, and are the following:

• Military: Measure of how much of a threat by force you are. Tanks, infantry - overall, these contribute a CIC’s “Military” stat.
• Intel: Measure of how much of a threat by guile you are. Spies, radars, etc all contribute to this number.
• Charisma: Measure of how much of a threat by charisma you are. This number measures a CIC’s available social capital.
• Science: Measure of how strongly the nation is investing in scientific research.
• Recovery: Measure of how heavily the nation is recovering from recent crises and attacks.

The value of each Stat directly affects the following Resources as described:

• Missiles- the number of missiles (and prerequisite military tech needed to launch said missiles) is equivalent to a CIC’s Military Stat divided by 5 (rounded down)
• Troops- the number (less a few orders of magnitude) of troops and other convention weapons is equivalent to a CIC’s Military Stat divided by 5 (rounded down)
• Spies- the number of covert agents available to field clandestine operations is equivalent to a CIC’s Intel Stat divided by 5 (rounded down)
• Politicians- the number of loyal politicians able to influence global matters through negotiation and cooperation is equivalent to a CIC’s Charisma Stat divided by 5 (rounded down)
• Labs- the number of scientific institutes dedicated to advancing technologies in a CIC’s country is equivalent to a CIC’s Science Stat divided by 5 (rounded down)
These counts represent a base amount of resources, not an upper limit, which may be increased or decreased by other means. If a CIC’s Stats total more than 100, any CIC may remove 1 from each of that CIC’s Stats which is above zero (excluding Recovery). As a weekly action, a CIC may halve their own Recovery (rounding down).

“Missiles”, “Troops”, “Spies”,“Politicians”, and “Labs” each has a column in the GNDT, showing the current amount of Missiles, Troops, Spies, and Politicians. As a weekly action, a CIC can make a new budget adding to 100 or lower with a different, or same, amount of resources to “Military”, “Intel”, “Charisma”, and “Science”. The appropriate amount of Missiles, Troops, Spies, Politicians, and Labs will be added.
