Energy shortages now directly affect economy and military tempo

2026-03-13

  • Nations now consume maintenance energy each tick based on infrastructure, and low energy coverage applies deterministic penalties to production, military training time, and upkeep pressure.
  • Severe shortages can now apply per-tick readiness and stability penalties until energy coverage recovers.
  • Military training inputs now include energy for advanced units (including Tanks, Aircraft, Naval, Missiles, and Nukes), so force growth planning must account for power availability.
