    I finished it yesterday after the second try.

    Basically, you win by doing what we already know needs to be done:

    Everyone goes vegan. Ban cars. Expand public transportation. Curb population growth. Destroy the fossil fuel industry. Protect greenspace. Protect wildlife. Educate the world.

    Easy! /s

      I think curbing population growth isn’t necessary to winning. I think it just appeases the Malthusians if you want them in your coalition.

        Not sure if it’s required for winning, but it certainty helps. Slowing down energy, fuel, and land use gives you some time to implement your plans. 😂

    Fantastic game! Had a great time playing and will likely do a couple more playthroughs.

    Went to 100% nuclear power generation, however generation of electricity and fuel production dropped to zero in the last few turns of my playthrough and I didn’t see a reason…or wait…was it that earth liberation front that bombed all my gas and nuke plants? Ha, my entire world was without power just as I finished the game!

    The game has a frostpubk vibe with the feeling of desperation at the start, kind of like how some of us feel with the way the world is going.
