Card
Text

Your nation has 10 M paranoid survivalists.

From now on, 20% (round down) of the deaths from any nuclear attack on you hit survivalists instead of your normal citizens. This effect remains until all survivalists have been killed.


Additional Notes and Information:

It's sort of ironic that the survivalists have an effect only when they are getting killed. If you're wondering who these survivalists are and why they show up only when nuked: these are people who "should" have been in your population hand but who were "off the grid" and so didn't show up on your census.

In effect, this card is a shield. It's almost like having 10 M extra people but they're only usable with nukes. Note that to completely eliminate the survivalists, you'd need to take 50 M in nuclear casualties; therefore, some survivalists will tend to make it through any game in which they appear.

I have to say I am very proud of the "camouflage" motiff of this icon. I put in Nukehead to draw the eye but there are three other figures in the picture; he's the third from the left.
