Some people don't mind the corruption because they employ tricks (like making the citizens specialists, etc.). Where's the realism in that? I would agree that corruption is a huge balancing factor... but it still sucks! WHy not employ other 'balancing factors'? - I would suggest you...

I'm definately for lower on the fringes, and in distant cities. I like the idea of having multiple cores. SPHQ should be built only in communism, but work in other govs. Corruption reducing improvements should work noticeably. Those who argue about the palace jump exploit... well, let's have...

Genghis, what's your problem? On the BETA 1.13 thread I wrote a long piece about my feelings about the corruption scheme... and yes... it was time consuming and essay-like. It seems that thread is gone, along with my work. That's disappointing because it spurred some good responses. I...

I guess that thread went passee with BETA 1.15. Now let's try it this new one out. Anyway, I went against my vow and played a game. It was a random map on Monarch. Turned out to my a normal sized pangea. I can't see why some people aren't bugged by corruption... it doesn't seem nearly as bad...

HorseSoldier does bring up a good point. But I just don't like to tinker with the core game at all, as I'm happy with every other aspect of it. I don't want to have to edit every existing map and scenario... that feels a little contrived. The default corruption levels should be more balanced...

My main point was not that corruption shouldn't exist, but rather that it should be controllable. If you build a city in the middle of nowhere... 95% corruption/waste is understandable and acceptable: it's the frontier, the wild west. But once the city is linked to the capital with a...

I've been following this forum for months, and, as a long time civ fan, I finally decided to speak up about the subject that is a constant source of annoyance for me: corruption. My first major game in the vanilla civ3 was on a huge earth map on an easy difficulty. Halfway through the game...
