Thanks everyone. That explains what I was seeing because I had luxuries up pretty high when I switched to Democracy and I had a whole lotta love going around in my cities.

All other things being equal, what is the best government type for maximum population growth. I notice in Dem that food is "gobbled" up pretty quick but the population still grows. In other governments I have finished games in (Fundie, Commie) there seems to be more extra food resources but the...

I just don't get the scoring system as it relates to finish date. I usually finish my world conquests around the mid to late 1800's. My best games I get scores around 1400 and percents just over 200% (maybe that sucks, but it's good for me). Anyway, I had always believed that date of conquest...
