Nah. I like Democracy.. Why do you like those? I like Democracy because is and Anti-War Goverment and Ups the Economy and Workers.

Your first statement is a double-edged sword. Unless you're playing on Chieftain level, and/or have gigantic amounts of units and landmass, someone will inevitably attack YOU. Your people will still get war-weariness. The good economy and fast workers are a plus, yes, but Democracy is not a society-stabilizer, nor is it a method of a come-from-behind victory.
But, what do I know ? Try all of 'em, is my advice. If you're still having problems getting a space race victory, perhaps this is one of the reasons why. Civ3 has great replay value, as this issue demonstrates !

Did not work for me. Twice (warlord & regent) I had both units (modern armor vs knights and cavalries) and landmass (my own big continent vs 3 civs stuck in the little one) and the AI anyway knocked at my door saying "hey, would you like to fight me? see, I try to kill your infantry with my knight, take this, and this ... d'ough"Kronis said:
I agree this is the best method. I did not try them all yet, but I have to say that I got the best results with Democracy. The only thing for sure is that it depends on your play style, if you go for warmongering I think Democracy is not for you.Kronis said:

In the original civ3 I liked Republic the best. Of course, then they made Republic cost 2 gold per unit.....and it's still my favorite! 
I like Democracy for my games especially war games, i have a perfect strategy when dealing with war weariness, i attack all enemy cities with mass Luxury then declare peace and do the same to the next civ then i take out whoever is mad at me then conquer all

It depends on your situation. Recently i tried out feudalism on monarch (i was behind in tech but managed to grab feudalism with my free scientific tech) and as i had a lot of cities less than size 6 (complete lack of rivers) it worked brilliantly. The massive unit support, even though i used less than half of my unit allowance, provided the springboard for an army that eventually wiped out the rest of the world. [dance]
So 'don't knock it til you try it!'

Republic, definately. Although you can be a warmonger and be in Demo if you do it correctly.
I find Republic the most stable and general purpose government. All those +1 commerce's really add up, and it's less prone to citizens freaking out than democracy.
I used to use Communism a lot if I was doing a lot of warring, but found republic could last more than long enough in wars if you have most of the luxuries. And sistine + cathedrals all round is great

I find a lot of you guys choosing Republic, and I wonder why you do not choose Democracy. It is obvious there is something I am not seeing, and I think I know what it is. In older versions of Civ, Demo offered a few bonuses over Rep, I am starting to believe this is gone in Civ 3.
Does any of you know the real differences between Rep an Demo? I know:
- Both have no unit support
- Rep has less corruption
- Demo has workers at 150%
But what about trade? are they the same or does Demo yield more $$$? If they are the same I will surely switch to rep...

I've successfully won under Democracy and Communism
The one major drawback with Communism is the whip method of production - it's totally impractical for trying to produce buildings in low-production cities in the later ages.
Republic's ok but the unit support is extortionate!

Police Stations + Universal Suffarage + Republic = Managable War. Much harder to pull off in democracy. The 150% faster workers (and lower corruption) is pretty worthless when your cities are going into disorder all the time. Having a good number of lux's helps, too.
Oh, and they have the same commerce bonus: Any tile producing at least one commerce gets one extra commerce.

Yep, but is there no difference between commerce bonuses offered by Demo or Republic? If there is no difference I will surely choose Republic in the future. As you say, war must be a lot easier to wage, but peacetimes should offer corruption bonuses as well!!!
OK, there is the 150% worker bonus, but usually at some point in the game my workers are reduced to pollution cleaning or to railroading jungles, so what's the point? inmunize cities to propaganda? From now on I agree with you that Repulic is the best government.

I like Communism: the benifits of unit support in the modern ages, skilled spies and low corruption in large empires is perfect for my warmongering style. However, I agree with Dave the Monkey that the whip method is very impractical for later rushes in small towns.

they have the same commerce bonus. Worker's bonus is something else.
