Asking you to play Half Earth if you didn't catch the thread from a couple days ago. I can find literally nothing on this game but it's so amazing, it combines all the good vibes of the socialists and the ecologists from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and manages to make a very hopeful message out of a very very bleak situation. Just bumrush BECCS to save the planet 4head.

Also the faction icons are just adorable. Look at these little guys. So cute. In real life fashion if you just follow the whims of the Fanonists, prioritize nuclear, and reduce meat consumption as much as possible you can just stop climate change within fourty years and make a little society worth living in. Have y'all found any strategies for this game that work well for you? I kept seeing lots of comments about getting to space but the game always ends too early for me to get that far, either because I die or because cooling goes below 1.0 C.

    Authoritarian
    Likes: Shiny leather boots, cults of personality, daddy issues
    Dislikes: Freedom, dissent, improvisational jazz

    I dont know if the authors genuinely dont like the "authoritarians" or their description is just a good natured joke, because the "authoritarian" faction does support a lot of genuinely good policies

      The authoritarian faction is basically a non-entity. There's no "authoritarian curriculum" policy or specifically authoritarian policies whatsoever. The only time the authoritarians speak up is when you abolish prisons, which only has a minor contentedness buff and no other effects.
