I remember that civilization 1 had a revolution as soon as you researched monarchy and then when you had an increase of population from this new government, monarchy, or you as the king and no longer despot, you start to grow a lot more population which ultimately led to a demand for luxuries. It was neat having large cities with large populations but no science and then the production would allow a lot of units to be produced depending on the revenues that you have as well since luxuries were needed so badly for a larger population.
This little experiment of mine was entertaining because I always went despot government all the way in civilization 1 and trying different governments were all new to me and waited until railroads for higher populations in most cities.
However, as time passed by, other civilizations outperformed my civilization in science and technology. Better units would appear while I still had the same old primitive units, catapults, knights etc.
I wonder if we were to remove the science part of civilization then there would be a large revenue part for purchasing whatever it is you need and luxuries for making your citizens happy to keep working. No new units would be improved unless purchased. There's still revenues and luxuries which can be a part of the success of the civilization if there wasn't any science. However, other civilizations that have science can ultimately out tech our civilization if we don't use science anymore.
