As it stands, the polls suggest we will end up with the following civics:


Representation, Bureaucracy, Caste System, Decentralization and Paganism.


This means a pure peace economy, contrary to the willingness to fight several wars at once. We have too few workers, and these workers work too slow.
Our troops are not as trained as it should be, and our key city is producing wealth alone. We are not building buildings as fast as we should, due to said shortage of workers, as well as absence of organized religion.
No slavery can rush buildings with this set-up.

These civics are not bad in itself, but right now, they make little sense, except for representation, which does the job bureaucracy does now in my opinion.

Well, do not point fingers at me if we have too few roads, too few trained troops and too few buildings in some 50 turns, when we meet the other continent.

I rather see us use Organised Religion to be honest but with the rest I'm content.

Then vote organized religion, if that is what you believe in.

Are these civics polls legal? There's no discussion thread, someone has just posted a poll seeking change.

There were actually quite a few discussion threads. Provolution posted a multitude of threads advocating a set "revolution" of multiple civics, in debate about this change a number of other options were discussed including my personal favorite, the mercantilism, caste system and representation combination.

Mercantilism is not now, and we need Serfdom for a while, and Vassalage until we build the needed number of troops.
