Martial Law (Military Rule)

[Preslav]

Just got an idea, that could possibly fit well with RFC and BtS, and possibly future Civ5...

Suggestion- The ability to declare martial law (military rule) in a newly captured city or a city in revolt, via the interior screen. The button can be placed right next to the liberate (colony) option, and you can select which applicable city(ies) to apply this rule on- for a limited amount of turns, let's say 5. You would need the Police State civic to enable this. While in effect, the city(ies)'s revolt lenght is cut by 25% and the city(ies) maintainence cost is cut by 10% for each military unit stationed there.

Please submit your thoughts and suggestions.

P.S. -> How about Military Police units (national, given number allowed based on # of cities), that can reduce city maintainence (by -10% while stationed) in far away cities that suffer from distance penalty and add happiness?

I like the martial law idea, but it should also induce unhappiness in the cities subject to it. About the police idea, why isn't there any real police force on Civ?

I like this idea in concept. You could also have a UN type intervension, where they want to put inspectors in to the city following conquering... if you doing anything nasty (nerve staple ) then its a big naughty boy...
