Btw Order gives bonuses to purchasing and if u have a lot of cities is that it? I feel as if some policies are a bit underwhelming. Although I love the +1 production to mines quarries and all - thats awesome.
Freedom can actually be a great choice if you want to pursue an aggressive "world policeman" diplo game. I won a diplomacy game as Venice using Freedom; the Foreign Legions were particularly helpful in punishing Autocracy civs and protecting my weaker Freedom allies. If you can manage to get Foreign Legions while everyone else is still in the Renaissance/Industrial eras, it's basically hax.
The tenant is far too powerful for warmongering for an ideology that isn't supposed to be for warmongers.
Order doesn't get a way to make getting city-state allies easier and Autocracy doesn't get a way to pull ahead in science (only a way to catch up). Freedom's the anomaly here.
To be fair though, I'd rather introduce a city-state related tenant for order (maybe more Siam-like than Greece-like, so to speak) and a stronger science tenant for Autocracy than just hit Freedom with the nerf bat.
