Alpha-2 Node mandates.

The more citizens like what a mayor is doing, the more power they're going to get to do more things; and the less citizens like what they're doing, the less power they're going to get to do things. – Chris Justo

Node mandates are an energy system that enables mayors to take actions within a node.

• Citizen participation in policy votes, construction, mayoral commissions, mayoral caravans, node wars, and node sieges generate mandates for the mayor.

• Mayors can utilize their available mandates to adjust taxes, bypass policy votes, initiate construction, initiate expansions, and certain mayoral commissions.

• A newly elected mayor may begin their term with "a couple" of default mandates.

• Unused mandates at the end of a mayor's term will be lost.

We're concerned about limiting how much damage a bad faith mayor can do; and this is definitely one of those systems that if you're doing good things that the citizens are agreeing with- and this is part of your power as a citizen even if even if you think you don't have any power- this is one of your main things is agreeing with what the mayor is doing makes them able to do more actions; and that are hopefully are favorable for you. – John Collins

Q: Is there a cap on the energy for mandates?

A: There is not currently a cap that's designed for mandates. However, mandates are an accrued energy through action and actions have cooldowns associated with them that you can do them over certain periods of time; and they also have certain weights that are applied by design. So naturally within a given period of time a mayor will only have the ability to do so many things that generate mandates; and as a result that is the soft cap. However, the system is built- or is being built- in such a way where that is a variable we can define through testing when we see if there should be, or should not be, we can add that at a later time. – Steven Sharif
