I stayed in democracy and drafted every turn. It depebded on the size of the city. It had to be over 6. Communism is even more impressive it allows multiple draft per city. Once I obtained nationalism I never built another infantry unit. My worthless cities keep pumping them out.

I have read quite a few posts about how too many of your cities are so corrupt that they only produce 1 shield and 1 commerce. A number of people even say they are worthless.

You have a choice. The Civ is attempting to build a city somewhere across your empire. This could be for your advantage. I use to get mad that the army was moving across my kingdom, but now I let them move because I know that I will be attacking them in the future right after they build me my...
