Would it work, both from a performance issue and for a game balance issue to cram 7 nations on Earth? Because my plan is to play with these power blocks:
United Nation of Earth (me, the player), a semi-loose aglomerate of Europe plus 30+ countries of Earth
USA
Russia
China
Pan-Arabic League (following the collapse of Iran and a great syncretism of the 2 main Islamic faiths)
Mercosur (South America)
Japan & Korea
So 7 ... On a single planet... Will I smoke the CPU? Is there enough room for these 7? How will they expand in the solar system if left to their own devices? So many questions...
That would run in VB6. in fact, I have run larger games, but it will be slow.
In C#, it should run OK. It will still be slower than a 'normal' game, but much faster than VB6. Based on my experience in my current test game with 5 races in Sol, I would have more jump points in Sol than normal. Perhaps 6.
