Power



Power or Electricity is a vital resource for any nation. It is generated by power plants, of which you have different options according to your region. The resources used by power plants are coal, oil, uranium, and water, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Coal and Oil create pollution, which has a negative effect on nations. Resource availability, pollution, and costs must be taken into account when deciding which power plants to construct and upgrade. Players are restricted to one type of power plan.

Coal Power Plant
The Coal Power Plant is one of the basic power plants of the game. It provides a lot of power but generates a lot of pollution.

It is the dirtiest of power sources.

Usage
Coal Power Plants should be used by new nations with coal as a natural resource, before they can transition to a superior power source.

Oil Power Plant
The Oil Power Plant is one of the basic power plants of the game. It provides a reasonable amount of power, generating some pollution.

It is a cleaner alternative to coal.

Usage
Oil Power Plants should be used by new nations with oil as a natural resource, before they can transition to a superior power source.

Nuclear Power Plant
The Nuclear Power Plant is the most advanced power plant in the game. It provides the most power and is a clean power source. It is the most expensive power source.

Usage
Nuclear Power Plants are the most advanced and costly power source in the game and as such only developed nations should be able to construct and maintain one.

Solar Power Plant
The Solar Power Plant is an intermediate power plant. While cheap to construct and maintain, it requires transistors, a refined resource. Its power generation falls short compared to the others. It generates no pollution.

Usage
Solar Power Plants are intermediate power sources and should be available to most developing nations with access to silicon.

Wind Power Plant
The Wind Power Plant is an intermediate power plant. While cheap to construct and maintain, it requires aluminum, a refined resource. It provides the least power out of all available sources. It generates no pollution.

Usage
Wind Power Plants are cheap to construct and maintain, and should be available to most developing nations with access to bauxite.

Hydro Power Plant
The Hydro Power Plant is an advanced power plant. It generates a lot of energy and no pollution, but is expensive to construct and maintain.

Usage
Hydro Power Plants are the second most advanced power sources in the game and as such are only available to developed nations.

Slave Labor Camp
The Labor Camp is the cheapest power source in the game. It is free to construct but requires grain to function. It requires a dictatorial form of government.

Usage
This form of power generation is only available to dictatorial nations. It is generally unheard of in developed nations.
