DISCLAIMERS :

We understand that some aspects of "Energy Wars" may spark debate. Here are a few disclaimers to provide clarity:

1. The primary goal of this game is to provide an enjoyable and thought-provoking experience centered around apocalyptic global warming, unchecked economic growth, and the urgent need for a green energy revolution.

2. If you are skeptical about human-induced global warming or have a strong aversion to ecology-themed games, this game may not align with your interests.

3. The game incorporates the idea of increased hurricane power due to rising temperatures as a gameplay element and a metaphor for the dangers of global warming. It's important to remember that "Energy Wars" is a videogame, not an accurate scientific simulation or a scholarly essay.

4. The placement of mines, climate conditions, river distribution, economic rankings, and other factors are designed to loosely reflect reality but are not intended to be precise representations. Your feedback is valuable, and we encourage you to point out any discrepancies you find, so we can review and potentially adjust the game's stats.

5. The game's map is based on a 2014 compilation using a 2000s United Nations source. Borders may not perfectly align with your country's political perspective. We apologize if this causes any offense, but the game's core focus is on ecology, and we cannot resolve all historical border disputes within the game.

6. While the game starts in the 1850s, the borders depicted are not from that era. This decision was made to ensure players can easily recognize modern countries. Representing the complex geopolitical landscape of the 1850s would have detracted from the game's primary focus on the energy transition.

7. "Energy Wars" aims to present a balanced view of nuclear power, appealing to both proponents and opponents. Nuclear energy is portrayed as a safe and efficient solution during periods of growth, but it carries the risk of catastrophic failures during economic crises, mirroring real-world events like Chernobyl. This is a science fiction game, and the developer is not advocating for any specific energy policy.

We hope you have a fantastic time playing "Energy Wars" and saving the planet from self-destruction, time and time again!
