I am currently playing the very great Civilization 1 at the level prince. But I loses every time.

I wonder, when am I going to revolutionize from despotism to another government? As quick as possible? To which government? Should I have some preparations before I revolutionize?

Every time I have tried democracy all my cities will go into 'civil disorder'.

Help!

if you're a beginner you should start with chieftain - you 1st should get used to the game before you play higher levels -
but this is always the way with all games, isn't it? ;)

when you are READY to switch.
when you have 'invented' (by science) the knowledge of
MONARCHY (for example)
if you haven't invented any other / new Form of Goverment, you will stay in 'DESPOTiSM' (your form of goverment with the start of every game-created CivDOS game) .

well:
Read The F*cking MANUAL (RTFM) of the Game... ;)
(it's available at civfanatic here ---> http://civfanatics.com/civ1/manual/

but ONE hint: before switching to -for example-
"REPUBLiC" (if you have invented or 'found' it in a "HUT" or got it from another tribe)
you should have build at minimum a temple or a marketplace in cities with more than size of "4"
and at maximum 1 or 2 military units per city outside 'in the field'
and you should try to raise "luxuries" to "10%" or "20%".
otherwise a city will revolt / stays in 'this revolting state' -
and
if just one city continues to stay in it's revolting 'state' for 1 (or 2?) 'rounds'
the whole goverment falls into anarchy/despotism -
this will cause you -sometimes- VERY much troubles in your game
you can't get under control without losing units, money, the war, a city and so on -

the biggest trouble will happen to you
this happens
if you have (some) BiG cities ("10"+) and only very few money... :rolleyes:

well -
Civilization is (f.e.) no ego-shooter in 'infinite-power-mode'...
although - there are many possible ways to cheat
if you want to do so... ;)
 
I am not a beginner. I have won several times when I am playing the prince-level but the king-level is too hard...

But someday I will win! I am always the greatest civilization in the world from the beginning but in the end (1950-) the other civilizations pass me in everything. And I think it is because I stay in the Monarchy too long.

I dare not to switch from Monarchy to another "newer" government... because the people in the cities get sad. :cry:
