Defences can go negative, so i don’t think that the downside can actually be avoided by not having any of the resource! Ingenuity is actually the only one where that’s the case (and it’s not guaranteed at the moment that No Easy Choices will be enacted!)

Oh yeah, I forget that was added at some point. On the other hand, letting your Defences continue to go more negative doesn’t really introduce any greater penalties. 0 Defences is just as bad as -10 Defences right now.

I’m thinking I might completely replace this Proposal with something that introduces a consequence for negative Defences. Suggestions are welcome.

I have a formula cooking of the form “lose People equal to five minus your Defences, or 0 if that would be more People than you have” but haven’t figured out a good place to plug it in.

Ooh, hostile against vote!

I’m thinking a decrease in Order in all situations where a district has to reduce a value to our below 0.

Bucky, that was rude. I was planning to replace my Proposal with other text, but you edit-locked it with your early vote.

Withdrawn now that I can’t really do anything with this Proposal.

My bad, I misread the sidebar and thought it was the age of the previous proposal.
