why when i switch form despotism to monarchy i am going fomr 20 to 30 plus to -10 or something same thing with republic i dont understand this
dont switch to monarchy, wait for feudalism = )
gmaharriet said:I would strongly disagree with that statement. Just about the ONLY time you want to be in feudalism as a government is if you are going for a 100K cultural victory.
Republic sucks for warmongers, so why not have Monarchy?
Feudalisim sucks for everybody, but Republic sucks for warmongers, so why not have Monarchy?
In sum Republic is always preferable to Monarchy in the long run, but Monarchy can be a devastating choice for an early Warmonger, just put all your gold on Chariots, your stack of doom will be ready faster then the enemy can say "long live the republic!"
Develop HBK after stack is ready and upgrade to horses, go kill.

People go on and on about how republic is the better choice for warmongers, but i got to disagree. Republic was made to be a peacefull government! why elss would they put ww in it? I try to go to republic and all the sudden:
>My citys go into disorder
>My unit cost is through the roof
>And the corruption bonus is hardly notticable!
10 turns down the line:
>My lux slider is at 50% trying to keep everybody happy, and i still got disorders
>My science is at 0% because I need the money for troops.
Now i have to try to research monarchy because there is no way my civ is gonna make it to the middle ages for feudalisim (which is realy not a bad choice; lots of unit support, little war weariness). I get to monarchy and my civ is back in order
Bottom line, monarchy was MENT to be for war mongers, and republic was MENT for peacefull people.
I don't think that's true. Have you read this?
Your tone indicates that you may have misunderstood me. It sounds as if you think Vanilla is somehow "easier" than C3C. That's not really the case. Even though the games look and feel the same, there are a lot of differences between C3C and Vanilla. Some subtle, some important... some of them game-altering....only in Vanilla....
Republic is by far the best gov't if you use it properly.
